It must have been great to be a Model T or Model A mechanic. I am watching "Vise Grip Garage" on Max (Hbo Max, Max +... whatever the hell it's going to be called 5 minutes from now) and the episode on the Detroit Model A is a quick lesson in simple engines 101

I am getting a kick out of the host, Derek ... he's a fun guy, and damn good at running patter while working on cars in the field, or in the garage. 

I recommend the show, either on Max, or You Tube. But You Tube has a short video, and the ones on Max are 45 minutes, roughly. 

Derek has some FUN sayings... 

for example, he calls a sledgehammer (used for breaking loose brake drums) a Tonya Harding 3000.

he calls a rattle can paint job in an engine bay, or on the engine, a "Craigslist Rebuild"

he calls a cutting torch is a "gas axe"

I'm gonna do the right thing and pretend I didn't see that. 

richer than Oprah Winfrey. 

That's hotter than Shania Twain in the 90s

I can’t believe this but I guess I got to, I’m looking right at it!

Holy Terry Labonte! (I love that one)

I wonder what Reba McEntire is doing right now?

He makes up the most impressive descriptions for smells when discovering the stench of decades of dead animals and whatever in the trunk

"smells like a hot armpit of old dentures"

Smells like a cross between 87 octane, Pennzoil, a high school gym locker and Sasquatch.
Smells like a horse hoof dipped in gas station nacho cheese

Smells like a bowling shoe mouse house with a hint of green onion

Smells like a wet shoebox full of alligator feet and red onions

Smells like a potato sack full of cigar boxes and a lotta regret
