B: There's, | 300 | switchboard |
B: although I'll tell you, you know, over the years the cars get more complicated. | 301 | switchboard |
A: Well, that's why I don't do as much as I'd like. | 302 | switchboard |
B: Right, | 303 | switchboard |
B: yeah. | 304 | switchboard |
A: Because they are, I mean they've got, they've gotten complicated haven't they? | 305 | switchboard |
B: Yes. | 306 | switchboard |
B: One of my first cars was a fifty-six Buick. Which, after awhile I could, you know, take it apart in my sleep if I needed to. | 307 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 308 | switchboard |
A: Is that right? | 309 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 310 | switchboard |
B: It, it got to be pretty straightforward to understand | 311 | switchboard |
B: and, now since then, you know, the closer a car is to a fifty-six Buick, the, the more I know about it. | 312 | switchboard |
B: And then start getting into these Nissans and the like | 313 | switchboard |
B: and I just can't keep up. | 314 | switchboard |
A: Yeah, | 315 | switchboard |
A: I, I agree. | 316 | switchboard |
A: About all I ever, | 317 | switchboard |
A: I never was too mechanically inclined, | 318 | switchboard |
A: but I used to always change my own oil and do the points and plugs and, | 319 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 320 | switchboard |
A: Course, they don't use, uh, points anymore. | 321 | switchboard |
B: That's right | 322 | switchboard |
A: But, Uh, they do still use plugs. | 323 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 324 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 325 | switchboard |
A: And, uh, now brakes, I've always done a lot of, you know, changing brakes. | 326 | switchboard |
B: Uh-huh. | 327 | switchboard |
A: And I used to do, I could always do the alternator, you know, and starter. | 328 | switchboard |
B: Yes. | 329 | switchboard |
A: I don't anymore, | 330 | switchboard |
A: but I have on a lot, a lot of times. | 331 | switchboard |
B: Yes, | 332 | switchboard |
B: I understand. | 333 | switchboard |
B: My last car repair actually had to do with brakes | 334 | switchboard |
B: and it's one I did not do myself. | 335 | switchboard |
B: I took the car, my, | 336 | switchboard |
B: I have a seventy-nine El Dorado, took it to be inspected | 337 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 338 | switchboard |
B: and the parking brake failed. | 339 | switchboard |
B: So I got under there and messed with the, the that, uh, that adjustment to make, to tighten it up | 340 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 341 | switchboard |
B: and that didn't do the trick | 342 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 343 | switchboard |
B: and then I got there and tried to, | 344 | switchboard |
A: It probably slipped loose, didn't it? | 345 | switchboard |
B: Well, actually that wasn't even eventually the problem. | 346 | switchboard |
B: I, I did a lot of things that I, I did everything that I could think to do. | 347 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 348 | switchboard |
B: And, eventually I brought it up to a, a place called Just Brakes | 349 | switchboard |
A: Uh-huh. | 350 | switchboard |
B: and it turns out that there's a, | 351 | switchboard |
B: the parking brake in the rear, | 352 | switchboard |
B: there's a, there's disc brakes | 353 | switchboard |
B: and the parking brake is a piston deal. | 354 | switchboard |
A: Um. | 355 | switchboard |
B: And because the parking brake hadn't been used in so many years, the piston froze up. | 356 | switchboard |
A: Oh. | 357 | switchboard |
B: So they ended up having to pound it out. | 358 | switchboard |
B: And one of them, they, were able to get running, uh, kind of oiling it and playing with it | 359 | switchboard |
B: and the other one they just, it was just frozen solid, | 360 | switchboard |
B: so I ended up having to buy one | 361 | switchboard |
B: and all total, it was just under two hundred dollars, believe it or not, to get all that done | 362 | switchboard |
A: well, it really wasn't quite, as bad as you thought, was it, was it? | 363 | switchboard |
B: yeah, | 364 | switchboard |
B: actually, I, I think it was a lot of money, | 365 | switchboard |
B: but I, I don't, like I | 366 | switchboard |
A: Well, it was a lot of money, | 367 | switchboard |
A: but, | 368 | switchboard |
B: Yeah, | 369 | switchboard |
B: but, I, | 370 | switchboard |
B: it got to the point where I didn't know what was going on | 371 | switchboard |
B: so, | 372 | switchboard |
A: You had to have the help, didn't you? | 373 | switchboard |
B: That's right, | 374 | switchboard |
B: that's right. | 375 | switchboard |
A: Yeah. | 376 | switchboard |
A: Well, do you still do much work on them, then? | 377 | switchboard |
B: I do. | 378 | switchboard |
B: actually that was just a, at, at the beginning of September | 379 | switchboard |
B: and, whenever I can, I do try. | 380 | switchboard |
B: I | 381 | switchboard |
B: actually, I'd say this. | 382 | switchboard |
B: I, I've gotten to the point where I don't change the oil anymore. Only because, | 383 | switchboard |
A: Disposal is a problem. | 384 | switchboard |
B: Well, that is one problem, | 385 | switchboard |
B: but also these, uh, these fast oil change places, you just can't beat them. | 386 | switchboard |
A: That's true. | 387 | switchboard |
B: For sixteen bucks they'll not only will they change the oil in ten minutes, and do a you know, as good a job as I can do, but they'll, uh, lube, too | 388 | switchboard |
A: That's true. | 389 | switchboard |
A: Right, | 390 | switchboard |
A: that, that, | 391 | switchboard |
A: I've, I've quit doing that myself. | 392 | switchboard |
B: Yeah. | 393 | switchboard |
A: And, but one of the main reasons was the disposal of the oil, you know. | 394 | switchboard |
B: Yep, | 395 | switchboard |
B: that's right. | 396 | switchboard |
A: And, uh, but, it, | 397 | switchboard |
A: but, no, | 398 | switchboard |
A: I guess, | 399 | switchboard |
