The eternal struggle of mechanical engineers everywhere! While we're busy calculating stress tensors and designing thermodynamic systems with perfect efficiency, family members just see "mechanical" and assume we can diagnose why their check engine light is on.

The difference between theoretical knowledge and practical automotive repair might as well be quantum physics to relatives who just want free car maintenance.
