Keeping on topic....

Does anyone know exactly how long it takes a cross-eyed crab with a wooden leg to kick all the seeds out of a dill pickle?

I have a bet going...

Not selling parts, dealing with shiny happy people or morons, not getting called adick on a daily basis and not getting accused of ripping people off. Out of this godforsaken business where everyone hates you.

Don't forget dealing with techs, service advisors and insurance companies via body shops! (I don't miss a day of it! You'll enjoy the new gig no matter what it is)

I would conduct an experiment for you but ... I stuffed the test subject into mushroom caps and ate him.

It's a slow work day. All my clients took the week off. It's 10am. It's 34F. Methinks it's about time to suit up and go for a ride. Lunch Trippin' needs a bump.

Wife just negotiated herself a $6,000 raise AND a maximum of 30 hours per week, effective Jan 1. Wish I had a pair of tits...

Yeah, because everyone knows that's the fast track to top pay in the workplace.

In reply to calteg:

let's be honest you'd have a hard time leaving the house for even 30 hours a week then and you wouldn't care about money. Also if that helped her in her negotiations then her superiors should contact their physician as in the case of lasting more then 4 hours you're instructed to do so, and my math shows that they would like her there 6 hours a day.

Definitely roll your own. I bought and rebuilt this for under $700 and it's a $2500 compressor. 19CFM at 90 psi will run anything you ever need in a home shop.

Buy a old belt drive unit as big as your garage wiring can support and fix it up, maintain it and it will run until the sun burns out in a home shop type situation.

That's been proven time and time again to be a rumor.

I showed plenty of cleavage at my last job... didn't do me a damn bit of good.

With some modifications, you can turn any multi cylinder automotive engine into an air compressor. You can still buy kits to do it to a VW flat 4 http://www.dunnrightinc.com/

Sometime in the late 70's, my brother needed to blast a bunch of concrete for some reason. The compressor he rented was a Ford 351 with one bank running, the other bank compressing.
