I worked at a Jeep-Eagle dealer and we serviced Renault cars as part of the deal. We all made jokes about the cars but whenever a Fuego came in we would all gather around to marvel at the weirdness and mock the poor guy who got stuck working on it. The wiring diagrams were pure comedy genius.
Then there was the Renault 5, or Le Car. The first time I opened the hood and saw the engine was behind the transmission was a WTF moment.

Having a hard time swallowing being back at the bottom. Took me five years at the regionals to finally have enough seniority to have some say and control over my life, and that’s gone again. Don’t get me wrong I’m extremely happy and blessed to be where I am at now, but it’s def. hard adjustment.

Home is where the hammock is. Swinging gently.
I learned to drive stick when I applied for a pizza delivery job, in college, and told the guy I knew how. An old Bronco.

My daughter had a side gig as a divemaster for a scuba excursion company when she was a Fulbright Scholar in Iceland, which included driving a standard shift vehicle full of customers. She decided (as usual) to fake it and only lasted a few days, but it may have had more to do her limited ability to schlep tanks over the rocks than the driving.

With a chain prep for wax, I’ve read all of the steps and have a question for you. Have you ever used a citrus degreaser instead of mineral spirits? What about the last step with a solvent like acetone? My preference is not to use harsh chemicals I can’t dispose of.
