Remember when?

Terrible song. The Pumpkins put out “Gish” Which was one of my favorites and then did very little after that that did little more then annoy me. Oh and they were horrible live...

Wow, I remember those single post lifts, used to scare the bejesus out of me when the whole car would rotate when I'd be underneath wrenching. Two post lifts are much easier on the nerves. One I saw and loved, a four post with built in jacks that could be slid where you wanted to raise one or more wheels off the rails or to unload the suspension.
 
Glad you liked it! :thumbsup:
Sometimes I find it hard to leave my opinion at the door...and that’s all it is to, an opinion but there’s not enough cheese to go with all of that whine.
 
Carhops back in the day.

I just knew you would identify with those lifts. I swear we worked at the same gas station. Lol
And yes, you'd be trying to yank the damn brake drum off and the whole car would swing towards the wall.

Amen to that, I always had a hair trigger and at least two exits mapped out. One time I was under the hoist draining oil while one of guys was airing up a big truck tire. When the valve stem blew out of the rim I instantly was out front by the pumps. The guys said they never saw anybody move that fast. Hair trigger!!

My first lift... the same one I put the parts car on for inspection in PGH when I bought her... I forgot about the swing when she came down and had to re-rack and straighten the car and lift so I could get her out the door.

I posted this cause of kids and older cars. No big deal I thought. Guess not. It's all good.

P.S. [i also like the track]:thumbsup:

That made me think of Gino's. When living outside Baltimore, between 1962-66, one got fast food hamburgers from Gino's as in Gino Marchetti of the Baltimore Colts. We lived in Catonsville and it was on the main street. I just went looking for a picture, ran into this link, and damn if it doesn't talk about Gino's in Catonsville on Frederick St.
