He was actually a good mechanic for the most part. I think meth did him in. He took over the old man's shop, and that old man was excellent. I used them because I knew nothing about these and mechanical beyond simple, and shied away from it.

I'm quite elderly and retired now, but I was a mechanic for some 30 plus years. Twelve of those years I was a shop owner. I would never do a hack job on any car in my shop or work space, even if the customer only wanted it done that way. I have ethics and a penchant for honesty. I had a good reputation and was rewarded very well for my efforts. I put both my kids through college. One is a loan officer at a lending institute and the other is a safety engineer at the worlds largest petroleum refinery.
