I could usually beat the warranty times and 2 hours for this job isn't as bad as some of the times. Lots of the jobs I did paid .2 plus .3 for diagnosis. Yes, we got paid .3 for diagnosis on most things. Here is a car with an intermittent electronic failure, you have 18 minutes to figure it out. If it turns out to be a sensor or some small part you get 12 more minutes to fix it, so 30 minutes total. Do this 16 times in a day and you make 8 hours.

I saw a 57 Ford Falcon today, in use. I was in traffic, so no pics. It was in showroom condition, except for the not shiny paint. Is this in italics? Once it is on, it cannot be turned off. Not by this digital feeb anyway. In the past, when we lived in the city, I would occasionally see a 62 Datsun around town.

My grandparents had Ford Falcons. Pap & Grans (Dad's side) had a 1968 Futura, and Nana (Mom's) had a 66. Apparently in the 60s it was a good car for people in their 70s.

I can live with that explanation. I had no idea how far back they went; I just knew this was the oldest oee I'd ever seen.

Yep. Le Col is the best stuff in my collection right now. I have a bunch of decent stuff (Voler, Neopro). Le Col is a different level. Yay for Strava challenge discounts!

he finally grew tired of this and got out of it
back in the day when I was a teenager - I think it took me an entire weekend to replace front control arm ball joints and stabilizer bar bushings / links on a Chevelle ... (although later it took less time to swap the motor / trans)

one of my friends worked flat rate ... he was amazing - but the dealerships spent more time yanking his chain than they did to appreciate him
