I have a reputable auto electric repairman near me and almost always take him my used up starters and alternators for repair rather than buying new.

I have found the same results. Back when I began wrenching I remember seeing those AC Delco commericals about “use factory parts”. I though to myself “sure I want to pay way more for something I can get cheaper at the parts store down the street”. Well thirty years and hundreds of repairs later I always buy the…

I can appreciate the new format for reasons relating to your post. I don’t sit down and watch an entire 500 mile race, but record it and watch the last twenty or thirty minutes later.

I drive up and down a 6 mile two lane mountain road for work. When being tailgated on the way down, I occasionally run quite fast into the first tight corner near the bottom of the hill. Fun to see them swerve when they have not anticipated the corner because they are so focused on riding my bumper.

You just buy the Corvette valve covers man, bam, Corvette motor!

Dash cams may tell the story, even it just to prove which truck left its lane first.

I get some collision repair from customers who want to keep the damages off the books. I don’t work deeper than sheet metal though.

I loved it, classic Sunny that never gets old.
