Captain Obvious to the rescue.
Ever wonder why so many guys in the computer/IT/PM field are into cars and other hands on hobbies?
I dont.
My father in law was an accounting major at W&M. Quit after a few weeks at Ernst & Young and went into HVAC/Plumbing/manly shit and has never looked back. Different strokes for different folks. However, we shouldn't overly sentimentalize blue collar work either. That shit is called hard work for a reason. There's a difference between wrenching on your car as a hobby and wrenching on some schmoe's car for a living.
Two feet.
kaan has a brother? unpossible AND scary.
