60+ year old thread.

Here is a bit of trivia.
When we sold the serial#1 car the picture shoot was done in our shop.
I am in this picture. You can’t see me but, technically I’m in the picture.
I am pushing on the brake pedal to illuminate the rear of the car for dramatic effect.


I’m famous..

ROFLMAO…….

 

Is that the Dave Jordan that ran in F5000 and drove the 908 for Vasek Polak (as well as other stuff)?

 

Yes.

 

You're not just famous, you're a God of Mechanics!!!

 

Yea I wish but thanks for the pump up.. lol

 

Good Morning Porch Pals & Sue! Putz, putz, putz......

The gods are invisible to mortals, after all, @Tacoma Mike !

 

Mike in traffic?

 

Can never get the lights to change no matter how hard I try.

 

Not being to active with my foot issue, I have been watching this YouTube video's from Just Rolled in. I'm sure Mike has seen many of these issues from customers that think they can do the repairs themselves and end up taking it into the professionals (Mike)

Motor was interesting. Everything else I saw plenty.

 

I have watched a few of his YouTube videos and it's amazing the stuff he has on them. And people think mechanics are ripping them off .

I figured you have seen many of these problems in your career . And are probably glad you don't have to deal with it anymore

 

Morning all:

Watched the video Ken , let's just say it's interesting , wonder what was in that oil pan, I would think someone added something to try to quiet down a noise in the motor so they could sell it, apparently it worked FOR AWHILE, since the customer only bought it 6 weeks prior, or, the customer had some stupid idea about adding something to the oil himself that didn't work out too well, guess we'll never know!

 

Always something to fool the customer and then it's too late. Some of the stuff on his videos are scary that people were still driving the cars.

 

Reminds me of a friend of Mrs JGO. In her divorce she got a Porsche. The engine locked up a while later. She swore the little red light never came on.

 

Best one I ever saw was the bullet hole in the guy's MGB. Punctured the car just under the trunk lid and embedded itself in the folded tonneau cover stored in there. The gas tank would have been next. Lucky guy.

 

Skin flakes?

 

Just got my '23 Taco and I am WAY past 60. However, I was getting fuel when the 16 year old on the other side of the pump gave me a thumbs up and said, "Whoa, dude! Nice Tacoma!" It was chill and got my mojo going.

 

Welcome to the porch @capnfishook... enjoy the posts and meet the rest of the porch h folks as they drop in. Great group here. How way past 60? Enjoy.
