Blog Post 6 (interview)

I interviewed a long-time employee at Fullers Repair Shop.  He have worked there for 40 years and have seen how cars have changed in that time period.  This is what makes him a credible source for my project.  I interviewed him on Monday, April 23rd, 2012.  I met him in the shop and asked him some questions. 
Some Questions and Answers:
1. Question: What have you seen change in cars over the course of your career?
Answer: Everything is a lot more computerized.  A long time back, everything was mechanical.  Now there are up to 7 computers in a car.

2. What mechanical or electrical failure occurs on most cars of today (if any)?
Answer: Usually it is a failure of one of the computers in a car.

3. Question: What mechanical or electrical failure occurred on most cars of the past?
Answer:  There were a lot of problems.  Everything was carborated, which made the cars much less reliable than today.

4. Question: What is your favorite brand of car?
Answer: Probably any of the Mercedes-Benz
