Funny story
This guy just left here after I qouted him 125 to replace a brake hose and bleed the system, he said they guy down the street would do it for 100 and left.
Then he pulled out into traffic and nailed a car, rofl
there goes that 25 bucks he was gonna save.

Well they don't actually turn them off completety. But the Brick inside when kept at a high temp is fine but when you cool them down a little they tend to crack. I they it was a 1 year job and about 7 million dollars to reline No. 7 Blast furnace several years ago. It is the biggest Blast Furnace in the world.

I am feeling pretty good! 
The last two nights on the way home from work I have followed a tweeny school bus down the last 2 miles to my house. We stop like every 2 to 3 houses to let the kids off the bus so I just sit with the top down looking at what should be my grandkids. 
I have a pack of Mustang admirers sitting in the back of the bus. 
There is one little 10 - 12 yr old girl that keeps mouthing to me "I love your
car" 
Well it make an old man feel pretty good. Please don't call the cops. I am really pretty harmless!!!!!!

Yeah, for now........
I am saving a copy of this post, to use for blackmail if I need to in order to get a ride in that Mach of yours. Heck, even take me in the 'vert so I can get a sense for those cams/long tubes.

I've had plenty of gawking kids looking at my car from the back seats of a school bus, the expressions on their faces and telling their friends is just too funny.
