fuck the auto shop

hyuriokay, I am really starting to hate Fords. we finally get the 93 Explorer out that we’ve been working on for 2 weeks (leaking coolant around the intake manifold, then we found out a vacuum hose was missing, then we found out it was a tow‐in and the starter solenoid is crap...), and we get in a 97 F150 with water in the oil pan and oil in the radiator.
the F150 wouldn’t be so bad if they hadn’t designed the engine compartment for a 7.6 liter V10 and then stuffed a tiny little 4.2L V6 all the way back in that little hole in the firewall. trying to get a socket on a U‐joint on a 9" extension into a gap I can barely get my hand into and then onto the bolt head is, well, no fun. especially since, out of about a dozen people in the class, there are maybe 3 who actually know their asses from their elbows and get off them. and they never get assigned to my vehicles.
and somebody who was working on a Blazer
that stupid pink soap you always find in public restrooms doesn’t do shit for engine grease. but they still put it in the auto shop.
on my way to get some smokes for my parents, I almost ran over something in the road. on my way home, I stopped and grabbed it: a 16" flywheel. really clean too, barely any wear. you can never have too much useless crap, right?
