Twelve Steps....
1) We admitted we were powerless over performance--that our car had become unacceptable
2) Came to believe that more power could restore us to sanity
3) Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to our car as we understood it
4) Made a searching and fearless inventory of our car
5) Admitted to the Forum, to ourselves, and to every human being the exact nature of our cars defects
6) Were entirely ready to remove all these defects
7) Humbly asked the Forum for help to remove its shortcomings
8) Made a list of all parts we had harmed, and became willing to make repairs to them all
9) Made repairs to such parts wherever possible, except when to do so would injure our car
10) Continued to take inventory of our car and when required, promptly improved it
11) Sought through discussion and meditation to improve our conscious contact with our car as we understood it, praying only for knowledge of its will and the ability to carry that out
12) Having had a mechanical awakening as a result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to motorheads, and to practice these principles in all our affairs
