Do you ride a 8 dog power sled?
I tuned it to a 12 dogs power, it's tough to handle, but what an acceleration!!!

I hear you. I worked briefly at a shop one summer before we expanded our operation to farming full time (and Dad retired, but that is a different story). We were working on a guy's old pickup that wasn't running the hottest and he was right there IN THE WAY and questioning every little thing I was trying to do. I am no mechanical genius, but I guessed it was off time & points were burned. I suppose he was worried about leaving his baby to some high school kid, but he wouldn't let me do anything. The owner of the shop had the perfect solution. He said it was an obvious case of low compression. He then sent the owner of the pickup off to the nearest auto parts store to get a 'can of compression'. He then called the store to stall him for a half hour & we went to work. It took new points & plugs to run right & got it going & timed before he got back to say the parts store guys looked all over but must have just sold the last can of compression they had. The owner said we found a can in the back & we used it, so it was fixed. To this day I don't know how the owner wrote up the bill charging for the can of compression!

I bought a K&N filter, but there's only one...can't even figure if it's K or N.

My brakes are squeaking. Should I use oil or grease to prevent this??

Dang, I was going to respond, but the darn cupholder on my PC broke! I knew I shouldn't have got the electric one, the one that slides in and out. I'd be pissed about it, but I'm still trying to get my foot pedal figured out. Why does it have those 2 buttons on it? How do they expect you to push those buttons with ypour foot? The strange thing is, I've seen friends who've had those things on top of the desk, instead of on the floor! What idiots! (Sorry, Rick, but I work for IBM).

Being in this business close to 35 years I've heard most of them, so I do some come backs on my own.
Had a guy looking for a used tire and I told him to look in the back of the building. He came back in about 10 min. and said he found one but it had a hole in it. I replied and said that is where the wheel goes. He said "I may look stupid but I ain't dumb" and took off in a huff. Put me on report with the boss saying I was a smart ***. The boss nearly died laughing.
