“I love the shows. Specifically conversation about the repair concept. Could relate to the toaster, having revived a switch problem with my 30+ year old Black and Decker toaster oven 2years ago. It’s still working. I take repair a step further than most, darning thin areas on the sole of my socks. Who darns socks these days? Socks aren’t cheap and it more than doubles their life. I wish more appliances and cars were made durable with repairable parts instead of replaceable parts. My standard shift Scion continues on its original clutch but may soon need a 2nd(!!) manual shift, because they no longer adjust them, just replace them! It’s not just the weakness of parts; people aren’t trained to do these repairs. Approaching 300K miles, with the car market shortage, hard to know what’s best. Thank You for another great show!”
