Let me think about it.  Is there a way to pm you

email:  [email protected]  I think the article suffices  for putting something up.

Be sure to put up something  on the website about the death of the long time Motorweek's mechanic Pat Goss who recently passed away at 80. A very good article at

good to hear it once again!

That's a result of doctors going to school, they learn everything about being in their profession, and don't know anything else! They have to hire other professionals to  do just about everything, even if they have time to do it themselves. Unfortunately, some don't realize this, such as in the case of your dentist story!

Gonzo: In the business they are called "Prima donnas"! I guess you have heard of the term.

good to check simple things first, before digging in deeper.

speaking of points & condenser I think electronic ignition systems is still one of the best reasons to have electronics in cars. After that more electronics just lead to harder diagnosis and more expense.

They almost know everything except how to fix their automobile. That does seem strange!

yea,, hillbilly version of  auto repair!

Zombie cars at least will not move around on there own, and that's a good thing!

The beginnings of the DYI,er as told by Gonzo!

they probably don't know how to explain the problem, so "It's Doing The Same Thing"

good story, why you need to conduit business properly

you have to keep an open mind when working on a  system your not familiar with. macho is not going to help!

He was so sure about the fuel capacity and yet so wrong. It only happens in auto repair!

Never had to do networking, being an employee for a fairly big company. They pretty much kept me busy for my 40 years of employment.

sometimes you so caught up in teaching you forget to make sure your doing everything  right! Probably one of those instances!

that time of year again. seems I just read the story not so long ago!

t's reality all right, when you find out it's not as easy as it looks on tv!, not to mention higher costs and time consuming.

you see a lot because the battery is one of the most replaced components in a vehicle!

It's hard for some individuals to admit to their mistakes, probably embarrassing for them!

You gave them a good deal but they didn't pick up on it! Must be more going on in that family then one cares to mention.

A nice way of looking at what auto repair is like. Similiar to crime? In a way your looking for evidence.

It takes lots of practice, even if it seems so easy to watch a repair! I know I been through it.

You can't turn away jobs or pass them on if you want to make the money. You have to learn and update your skills to really be successful!
