I think I agree with Kev. I am fairly religious, but religion is personal to me. I don't beat people over the head with it nor do I believe, just because it is the majority, it should be forced upon others (for that matter, the minority). Just my .02
I am not sure you can tell if someone is sophisticated by their facial expressions, but sophistication is a mixed bag here in So Cal, where the price of everything is known but not necessarily the value.
Then again, maybe the shirtless and butt shots are trying to tell us something.
<Slurping coffee> I am not fearful of someone smarter or more intelligent than myself - if I were, I'd probably never date again However, common sense is probably a biggie - that, methinks, needs to be at least equal.

I do almost all my own work, and I swear my second career at the office is looking at/diagnosing associate's vehicles. Back in Michigan, a good friend of mine set up shop less than two miles from the office (we were in auto shop together back in school). He was as honest as can be so making referrals was easy. Of course, driving to Michigan is not very convenient, but what I would recommend is checking with friends and family - honest mechanics/shop owners make happy customers, and word-of-mouth is their bread-and-butter.
