yeah one job I had paid $50.00 per month for my IA! Liability insurance on an IA starts at $50,000.00 per year! and the FAA hold you to a higher standard if anything goes wrong.

Same here man, some ppl have NO common sense,
I'm sure we can trade stories all day
I did the transmission in a Lincoln then a few weeks later it wouldnt start,
he came to my house & came inside & I had to call the cops,

turns out his wife bent the ignition key & it wouldnt turn at all,

Well the cold is finally starting to wear off and arm is getting better. Dad got the Lincoln running good. Turns out it was the thermostat! Thermostsat had only part of it somebody cut the rest of it out. No overheating now just to fix the brakes and I will drive that for a bit while I redo the brakes and a few other things on the envoy and finish up my F150.

Also forgot to mention brother picked up a 58 Chevy apache that needs a lot of work but has the frame, 2 beds, cab, and front clip.
Not sure what his plans on that one are.
