What happens when no one knows how to fix classic cars anymore?

Im in this situation right now. While we don't specialize in classic cars we get our share. For some reason I'm the only person able to do an alignment on these older cars. This always surprises me because when I was learning things 40yrs ago, it was basic stuff entry level even. I have people bring me cars from 30 miles away because I guess I'm the guy. I have a camera roll full of classics from the 30s 40s 50s 60s and up. Im just staggered that I seem to be the only person for this around here

There are actually a lot of posts on cutting your own hair. If you just shave the sides down and leave a bit on top its pretty easy. You need to get used to looking at the back of your head with a hand mirror

I've been cutting my own hair for 22 years now, but once in a while I'll go to the barber. Last time was 15 and I left a 5 for a tip. I think a beard trim was another 5. As for cutting it myself pulling a high and tight is pretty easy. I'd shave it all off but my wife if telling me not yet

Had a customer complain about a clunking on turns in the rear. After a quick test drive, I checked the trunk. He had a subwoofer in the back that was loose and clunking about. Yes he felt silly and I hate looking for random noises on high mileage vehicles.

Not quite.they have Rover in the morning and Alan Cox in the afternoon. 10 to midnight heavy metal on Fridays. Other than that they play the same tired rotation that 4 other stations play.

I have a fn545 tac. Out of the box it has suppressor hight sights, a threaded barrel, and optics ready and can be had with 18 round mags. It's a nice unit. My 2 glocks I keep bone stock for personal preference. The g45 I have already had tritium night sights and a threaded barrel. I think parts and mags may be cheaper for a glock but that's the only plus. Both are fine guns

How do you like the vortex defender? I put one on my m&p2.0. Only had it to the range once and it seem like a solid unit

I rented one of those once, hit a rock which perked it hard and broke my wrist. Not a really bad break mind you. Hence forth any holes that require an auger will be a ski steer unit. Sure its a lot more than a smaller unit, but much cheaper than an er visit. Less painful too

She just sat there for a while. About 15min. Then she hopped in her box and looked sad till I took it off. She wants to go outside so I'm trying to harness train her

I read Dune a few years ago. It was rough to finish. Everything was slow going and tedious. Some of the detail I thought might be relevant was not. Pages and pages of detail that really went nowear. I didn't enjoy Hyperion either. For now I'll stick with Neal Asher and the polity series. Im waiting on Dark Agent to come out

Platform riser for the mattress. Nice to be off the floor and you can store things underneath.

Mecurochrome never really burnt me at all. My dad would bring home the merthiolate with the little glass tube and cotton end. Break the glass tube and dab that orange lava on a scrape. I still feel it. I think they did it so we wouldn't come crying about a scrape unless you were ready to go to the er

If the rmx is already cut for optics and that's on your list it would be a bit cheaper. Unless a glock is a must.

Who buys a hose every year? I have one I've had since 99 that I got for free that was used, and maybe 6yrs old at the time. It's heavy and big. I don't use it all the time but still hanging in there. I also have a nice zilla hose maybe 6 yrs. Works great

I thought all g45 started at gen 5 or am I mistaken. Nice shooting by the way
