It is called motivation.

No way do I want your job Rick. I would starve as a professional mechanic. I bet it took me 6 work hours over three days to adjust the valves and change the oil. And that is with a lift in an air conditioned garage.

I would want to charge over a grand plus parts for that. Not many customers I figure.

Looks nice, Jeff.

Getting up at 7AM was tough. The real test is tomorrow, when I'm back in the office. I get up before 5AM.

Good Monday Morning folks.

Wake up!

The traffic was heavy this morning. The first 2.5 miles I saw 4 other cars on the road. At least a dozen more cars in the next three miles.

I need a nap.

Morning all. Hoping to hear that the 911 is ready for pick up, then I need to find a willing driver to get me there.

That is one reason I work on my own cars. I hate the process of getting the car to and back from a shop. I do know my limits and pay for the stuff I can't or just don't want to mess with.

I had chased this with Rick as far as I could take it. Come to find out it was missing a plug in the CIS system. They had the fun part of finding the NLA parts.

How long has your car been under the knife, David? What was wrong with it?

It sounds like it needed to bleed off some excess funds from David's bank account.

Old Porsches are like that.

(insert favorite Joeism here)

The front evaporator in the truck seems to be plugged or otherwise not working properly. The rear A/C works fine, the front not so much. It is full of refrigerant. We had it filled not long ago with added dye because there is a slow leak somewhere, but it was topped off and still doesn't blow cold up front. Condenser is fairly clear of debris.
