body or engine

My first father-in-law stopped talking to me nearly twenty years ago when I stopped looking at the world from his point of view. God was there with him, so when I left him, I left God too. Or so he thinks.

But one thing he said is true:

Son-in-law, when buying a car, look for one of two things: a good body or a good engine.

Time and experience has proved he had a point.
