Few of the engineers I worked with at GM were car enthusiasts. When I was a rocket scientist there were engineers in the lab who could not change a tire. One guy came to me to ask about a sound his car was making. From his description it sounded like a bad wheel bearing or a loose wheel. Walking up to the car I could see from 10 feet away that the lug nuts were loose on one front wheel.
Then there was the guy who was having trouble starting he early Honda Civic. I told him how to check for spark - check. Then I told him to pour a little gas in the carburetor to see if it would fire. He dumped a whole quart of gasoline down the carburetor.
