[DeTomaso] NPC: Wining about getting old

[Sean Korb]

I know I know.  At 49 I'm just a youngster and welcome to the club and all.
But this is really humiliating:

Every time I touch the guts of a car I get a rash.  Engine, brakes, window
regulators, you name it.  I use mild non perfumed detergent and soap and I
am otherwise completely coddled but this angry rash appears with brake
fluid, oil, grease and general filth gets on my hands.  It's like poison
ivy and it takes weeks for it to go away using prescription steroid cream.
I have two boxes of 100 count x-large Nitrile gloves strategically placed
and a complement of several dozen cotton Jersey gloves handy and I *still*
either forget to put them on or some procedure needs an unsheathed hand.

It's making me reconsider my hobby that I have relentlessly pursued since I
was at least 11.

I just wanted to vent a little.  Thanks everyone for being here as few
people could understand why it is important for me to have a direct contact
with my automobiles.
