My older brother was a mechanicOne day after school, at the tender age of 14, I wandered over to his garage with a despondant gloom on my face.
"'Sup mate?" he asked, throwing me a sideways glance as he rummaged around in the engine bay of a knackered Sierra.
"I got slapped by a girl I like today," I replied, bottom lip a-wobble.
He stood up straight, back clicking and popping hideously, and looked me straight in the eye. "Listen little bruv," he mugged in his genuine Thames Estuary accent, "if it's got tits or wheels, it's gonna cause you trouble."
15 years later, this has proved to be the wisest thing I have ever heard in my life.
