18 year old mechanic ~ really like this one ```



This young mechanic is butting up a 6.0 on a 250 ~ just put in injectors and a stand pipe on passenger side ~ real good, take on any job ~ needs a bit more diagnosing skill ~ but finds it hard to listen to me (well haven't worked as a mechanic)~ won't ware gloves ~ but gives me credit of being able to do this work ~ had long beautiful hair ~ cut it off cause, you know all the oil and carbon, grease and get's caught on things ~ can train a horse and ride like the wind ~ has a beautiful face ~ needs a spank ~ No, it's not my son ~ yep you guessed it ~ sitting here right now ~ has a touch of the flu ```

Kids ! She does not look like a "tom-boy" to me . Great that your daughter shows an interest in mechanics. Too many of the youngsters today just want to play video games and text.


Long hair can be a problem. Back in the 1970's a student of mine, with long hair, (back then only the "hippies" wore long hair) got his hair caught in a creeper wheel while underneath a car...... snip, snip

Isn't there a "new" brake clean, while not as good as the old , is better for your health and the environment.? Hope so...because I just used some to get the grease off my hands.

Greetings ~ Not to my knowledge ~ the ones I've seen say on the label: Cannot be made Non Poisonous ```

Daughter won't listen ~ sprays it on parts, as it evaporates she is right there in the fumes ~ after working her cheeks look like she's been in the sun for the first time ~ that stuff is bad I've read for your kidneys, Liver, eyes and life ~ also when heated to 300+ it is one of the poisons use in WWII ```

If there is one brand that is safe or safer I haven't heard ```

Thanks for posting ```

Rich
