[@eshelly4205]

Funny how no matter how much time goes by, somethings never change

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Those inspection tags are gold, Jerry, gold😺

[@kd4pba]

Now you folks need to watch a film called "Hired"

[@fredbozo8488]

Back in the day when they said “poppycock” instead of “f*cking bullsh*t” 😂

[@fromthesidelines]

Originally released in 1934.

[@hopebear06]

I have a 1920's Vacuum oil Gargoyle oil can for sale. Very rare.

[@jayg1438]

That company was founded in Rochester, NY. The city I grew up in.

[@alphaomega8373]

Trade ya for a rusty Tonka truck!

[@robstumpf]

Love it. Trying to offer the most value for the most money. No talk about government handouts, diversity, equity, loving complete strangers, or any bunk like that.

[@jamestregler1584]

Geee Wizzzz the shop looks snazzy 😃

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Can’t recall last time I used 3in 1 oil to silence door squeaks 😺

[@winnerscreed6767]

Maybe a little cheesy by today's vision. But I liked the relaxed feel to it and learned a lot about how older cars worked and were maintained.

[@tomservo56954]

I never even knew there was a special water pump grease.

[@mickeybitsko1676]

There was a Mobil special grease for the cigarette lighter….😺

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Changing a headline now costs $240…no more just unscrewing bulb. Now you get screwed 😺

[@kc4cvh]

Ten or twelve times a year? My I3 is next scheduled for service in April, 2024.

[@earlyriser8998]

It was a different time...there were few sealed bearings and manufacturing tolerances meant that oil leaked by the cylinder rings like a highway. Rubber was used for engine mounts and broke down easily and no metal panel was rust proofed. Even in the 1960's we replaced rusted cars every 3-4 years. The Japanese revolutionized cars in the 1970's and built the first versions of what we have today. We expect a car to go 10,000 miles on an oil change, not to rust, and much more. The result is cheap used cars, cars that last for decades without fatal problems, and relatively cheap repairs. I am more concerned about the computers in my current cars than I am about the mechanical aspects.

[@postal_the_clown]

@@earlyriser8998 Agreeing, to a point. Things today seem over complicated or over simplified compared to the past. Parts outsourced to contractors have their own QC issues. Some things you might work on require tools that cost as much as the single repair would. Of course car manufacturers have learned from the electronics industry, "pay to buy it, pay to use it and pay to give it back." In 2008 I got a Chevy with OnStar standard. It was incompatible with 1st Gen and by 2011 was also outdated. Today I have a '21 Ford that is connected 5 ways from Sunday. But at the rate things become unsupported, will I not be able to use the features I'm using now, not for the failure of the device, but because they simply will stop upgrading my version?

[@jimhaines8370]

back in those days oil changes every 1000 miles as most cars didn't even have filters and no full flow filters. The old Kendell oil add showed two fingers as to say they had the first 2000 mile oil

[@kc4cvh]

I was just foolin’. I’ve done most upkeep on my vehicles for forty years, I’m glad to reduce it to just restoring my Porsche 928

[@kc4cvh]

I also remember the Marfak grease, “lasts up to 1,000 miles!”

[@mickeybitsko1676]

The business of America is business.

[@earlyriser8998]

you are so right....it is what makes us the promised land for billions of souls.

[@ubangiestomp]

Said President Calvin Coolage, back in the day.

[@mickeybitsko1676]

We’re bigger than u s steel

[@mickeybitsko1676]

When did bayonet morf into dip stick😺

[@rapman5363]

Mobil grease #6 😂😂😂

[@chrisyost8167]

Not fond of it?

[@mickeybitsko1676]

This guy should hire joe Thorne as sales manager

[@HarmanMotorWorks]

And along comes the EVs....and we can (almost) say goodbye to the "lubrication service"...

[@58sportsuburban]

EV’S have been around since the 1800’s…

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Don McBride not yelling?

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Pep boys? Manny, Moe, jack?😺

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Too bad they didn’t add another 15 minutes on this. Would be a good B fil7m

[@mickeybitsko1676]

Mr burns apparently has a trophy wife 😺

[@christopherwelch136]

The “principles of business.” Lol!

[@earlyriser8998]

Chris, that is the way business works. Google tracks every search and purchase of yours to sell your info to someone else. KZbin monitors the videos you watch to push certain videos on to your channel. You and your actions are the products they sell. Credit cards and grocery stores track every item you buy to profile you and many others for targeted promotions. Every loyalty card and coupon is a company trying to understand your purchases and influence more. Even I would promote our fish of the day if you came into my restaurant, in the day. And with good service maybe get a larger tip. If you are not trying to increase your margin and keep your customers happy then you will go the way of the great dodo.

[@andrewsmactips]

Funny how Americans say Sell when the mean to say Persuade. eg: "You've got to sell him."

[@dannydougin3925]

The music makes me think of worker ants!

[@J_Calvin_Hobbes]

👍

[@NipkowDisk]

back when "vacuum" was pronounced with THREE syllables... cool.

[@alphaomega8373]

90 day service for a brand new car? Get real!

[@straightpipediesel]

The average American car goes around 1200 miles/month. If you do the excessive 5,000 mile oil change quick lube places push, that's a service every 4 months.

[@mickeybitsko1676]

People made it to Hollywood aspiring to act…..and wound up in this suboptimal trash

[@mickeybitsko1676]

@markjohnson7488 when I walk into a room, I own it with my Hollywood presence. If you want to feel better, go put on some makeup

[@mickeybitsko1676]

@markjohnson7488 I do magic tricks. Make mark Johnson disappear
