RE: Got my car home !!!!

Glad you got the baby home, Rich!

It is always sadistically amusing to watch someone born after 1964 getting in your car and trying to find a shift lever to put your '62 to '65 Mopar in Drive. If they can't see how to drive it how can they fix it? ;)

But mechanic brain fade is not limited to our old vehicles. I had some front end work done on a Dakota and the guy left a cotter pin off one of the suspension links. He also, probably by using an air gun to tighten up a bracket holding a brake line, stripped the two brake line bracket bolts. A couple weeks after the work I found one of the brake line bracket bolts gone and the other one had almost worked its way back out, and the brake hose bracket was almost ready to fall off. 

I fixed that myself with some new nuts and bolts, and added the cotter pin.
