As a teenager, I spent the usual number of poorly spent hours hanging out at Shell and Texaco gas stations (an important thing in my youth) and working on cars. From there it was a straight line to my first column for “You Auto Know” newspaper, a business I have run faithfully for 32 years. Not many people know that I have also handled computer documentation for a good part of my life while writing YAN. My best writing, however, has always been in cars.
