Happiness is discovering that your wiper switch isn't all worn out, but that you have factory intermittent wipers on a rainy Houston day!!

Happiness is the UPS guy wondering why he is delivering a new five-speed transmission to city hall and you're waiting there to sign for it.


Happiness is having a firm pedal after doing a one-man brake bleed job.


Happiness is the initial fire-up of a rebuilt engine... with no oil or exhaust leaks.


Happiness is a nice weld bead.
