I figured if the company stops getting the stuff they order maybe they'll fix their shipping address. It worked. I only had to refuse 3 shipments and that was the end of it.

My strangest story is when a customer came the shop and stated she was not going pay for any repairs and we needed to go to her house and fix her car at her house for free. I told the customer we did not have the ability to work on a mobile basis let alone for free. She left and and a little later I get a call from the local police. She had called police wanting to get me arrested for not coming to her house and fixing her car. The police were laughing when they called and had told her no laws were broken.

    Ford does some goofy stuff at times, so I understand her concerns firsthand. Like on my 97 Expedition 5.4L V8, removing the fuel rail to access the coils and spark plugs. That Lincoln 4.6L V8 has the exact same setup. I can do wondrous things on a Wankel, but the Expedition's coils and plugs are one thing I just go "nope" because of the lack of good access to do the job quickly and easily without swearing in several languages. Due Diligence is a good thing.

    The Mr. Snoopy story reminded me of the time my car had to spend some time in a dealership service department, and the official loaner was already out, so they threw a plate on one of the used cars on the lot and marked it down as an "extended test drive". On the way home I needed the registration, and in hunting for it discovered that the dealer's detailers had left all of the previous owners' paperwork in the glove compartment. Old registrations, insurance cards, their lease documents (with information about their incomes), the works. (Sam and Clara, if you're reading this, don't worry. I shredded all your docs for you. By the way, you live in a very nice neighborhood, but I'm worried that Sam might be overextending slightly. Careful with those limited-mileage leases, they'll get you every time.)

    When the car wizard was reading from that old book it reminded me of this sad story. In the UK back in about 1929 my grandfather was a mechanic for a very rich man who owned two cars. He lived in an apartment above the rich man's garage with his wife and three kids. Then he died, I don't know how. So my grandmother became a widow and homeless. In those days there was no social security or whatever you call it. Out of desperation she married her deceased husband's brother. He was a 40 y.o. bachelor and a sea captain. All that my mother would say about him was that he was very strict. It's almost like a tale from Dickens, go straight to the poorhouse. So for all you mechanics out there, just be thankful for what you've got.

    The vibrations in a moving motor vehicle can bend and unbend solid house wire ultimately causing a break which is concealed within the the thick insulation and thus very hard to diagnose. Twisted copper strand wire normally used in vehicles will resist vibration breakage. Tinned twisted copper strand wire will resist vibration and corrosion on boats.

    In the 1990s, I bought a few rough but running 1980s cars (mostly Japanese cars and pickups) to use as personal transportation winter beaters, then got bored of them and sold them, and got another one. Then I bought a Ford Pinto to restore (nostalgia for my first car). I had it parked in the garage. One bitter neighbor across the street in my working class/middle class neighborhood didn't like that (he preferred brand new GM cars) and called the city bylaw on me saying I was running an automotive repair shop, body shop and car dealership from home. I showed him the registration to my fairly new Ford Escort in the driveway and to the Ford Pinto in the garage, both registered in my name, and had been for a while. He said "sorry to have bothered you" and left, lol!
