Mechanic owned

lmao we have a work car
a service we do on that will literally be oil, check brakes and battery so 20-30mins versus a few hours for a customers vehicle.
only exception is the project cars we have

>this
Plus they typically do not know what they've got

This
i got my first car from a grandpa,

shit ran too well, i asked him about it and turns out the fucker was an old hot-rodder from the sixties who built cars with upwards of 700 horsepower.

driving a 2.3 lima on an old foxbody but the thing pull a 150hp 220 on the dyno.

i still don't know what he did to the damn thing.

If you don't speak french, mint 91 civic with one grandma owner, fucking 55000 km on the odo. God bless grandmas.

i hope you end up in a home when you are old. and not a nice one either. one of those crooked ones i saw on 60 minutes where they beat you and take your pills.

>Not buying an obscure performance trim of an average econobox from an elderly woman for next to nothing, and then throwing in a few hundred extra to bring it back up to the low end of market price

Sounds kinda kinky t b h

fuck mechanics, the most shadiest thieving cocksuckers in existence. especially dealership """""""""techs"""""""""

>tfw I'm a panel welder

I-I do my best work and make a modest wage

w-why
>training to be one

Jokes on you friend. I'm going to die or kill myself by the time I'm 45.

>why does this who's-it what's-it thing cost so much to replace?
Because it's buried beneath 10 miles of engineer fuckery.
>what's it do anyway?
Senses yaw.
>is it important
Not really. Your VCS/traction control won't work without it, though.
>I guess just go ahead and do it.

>I don't need no brakelines, they were fine when I bought.
They rusted through, you literally have no brakes. Your parking brake was disconnected at some point too.
>Yeah well whatever.
[Hits another car pulling out of the lot]

Example average conversations I have with people like you.

I don't even work at a dealership.

no, fucking fix it. i'm not paying you to get menstrual so get to work

Sounds about right
>my car is making a rattling noise

This, my Canadian grandmother has a green EF hatch that my dad helped buy her back when it was new. It's always lived in an underground garage at her condo building and has 40,000 Ks on the clock. It's an autotragic but I'm tempted to buy it off her and bring it to the states.

Saw a gypsie trying to sell body work at the gas station to a stranger.

Started laughing after seeing him pull off in a pickup truck with rust

Is...this the american initial D?
Nascar lima engine in pizza delivery foxbody?

doesn't help that i found carbon copy reciepts to multiple random names in the glovebox with 'poker pete's' typed on top.

now that you mention it.

Found the woman.

mechanics are scum. Garbage tier human along with computer store employee

hell yeah as soon as you take the keys out of their hands normally all it needs is an italian tuneup

(and a trip to the detailer for deodorizing)

>sjws on Veeky Forums

>absolutely mint condition, not a single molecule of rust
>EXCEPT THE FUCKING CLUTCH IS GONE
I don't want to end up like this lads

oh hell yes
all the carpet and paint is pristine
pop the glove box for full service history and even the original sales literature and manual from 30 years ago
1+ for all original toolbox in the boot

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Pinto_engine#2.3_.28LL23.29
88 hp and 118 lb·ft version ?

i just realized the car in this is a fucking twingo

From a mechanic no, from the wife or child of a mechanic yes

It's a true meme-mobile.

I was a mechanic; now an engineer.

I take care of my vehicles vigorously.

>Early services
>Bi-weekly vehicle checks
>Always looking to improve efficiency.

It's like playing with grown-up legos, why wouldn't I take care of my vehicles? Whenever I sell a car, it's in top-form for the next owner with a list of recent maintenance's.

Why would a mechanic who has knowledge and access to tools neglect their own vehicle? Sounds like you shouldn't buy from access certain type of personality, not occupation.

>Quebec
>mint
ya right

Do any completely rust-free cars older than 10 years truly exist anyways? I'm in Ontario and I'm going to be buying a new car next time because even cars that look mint from the outside end up having surface rust everywhere underneath.

>it's a twingo

i thought it was a 105 130 2.3 lima 8v sohc but yeah that's about right.

>not posting the superior version

>lady driven

This actually is not a bad thing. Bought a Toyobaru that was lady driven and the transmission felt much better than another driven by a Quebecer. Never buy a car from Quebec, ever.

>Mechanic's special

FTFY.
You don't know what it's like to discover 5 seriouly fat problem in some retarded soccer mom's 10 year old rusted Sienna shitwagon, attempt to help for legitimate safety concerns, and hear her in the service lobby say some stupid shit like
>"yeah I don't plan on spending money on a perfectly good car, nice try though"
Us """"techs""""" are tired of normie garbage, and if you get offended by attitude please kys.
