...you have to drop the gas tank to get to the fuel pump. So your suggesting I jack up the car, crawl underneath it, and do all of that in one hour? Or maybe you think I should invest in a $5,000 lift, so at least the car will be up in the air over my head and easier to access, while dropping the gas tank to get to the fuel pump?

What, I have to play daddy now and teach you everything? Fine. I think you should hoist it up using a tree branch and another vehicle, then secure it by wedging a long 4 by 4 from the ground to under the bumper.

What I hate is that you can't go into a car repair shop without all the "engineers" being covered in jailhouse tats. First they take away my wholesome NBA players, now my mechanic? What's next? The greeters at Wal-Mart?

...I once went to a mechanic who was going to replace something on my engine and to make a long story short, I noticed when I left the place a young kid loaded with jailhouse tats was given the assignment of working on my car. Needless to say the job was done improperly and he reattached a cable that caused my carburetor to run about 1,000 rpm's and almost blew the engine! I knew I was in trouble when I saw those jailhouse tats!!! Of course, trying to find an auto mechanic without the tats.....IS NOT POSSIBLE anymore!!!

....They'd also wash your windshield, check your oil, and make sure you had the right amount of air in your tires.....

Are people from that era really that lazy? Can't fix their own vehicles let alone pump their own gas.
This nation would fall tomorrow if we still had that European work ethic.
