Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for February 11, 2020

Cuts down on the overhead.

probably didn’t receive 7 mechanics’ pay though…

he’ll have to wait a bit longer to finish off the boat payments…

On a more serious note: The engine and drive train of an electric vehicle are VERY much easier to work on, so in fact, layoffs are coming. Not a good time to specialize in gas/diesel engine maintenance. Or transmissions.

Well, if you can do that, you should have started on your own. Instead, you let yourself get screwed.

The last guy working at a Sears garage.

Quit and really screw them over.

I claim to be “dumb from the neck down.” I consider it a major accomplishment to be able to assemble a shelf from a kit. Anyone who is skilled with his or her hands has my admiration.

on a VERY serious related note… we desperately need more people in the trades- electrical, plumbing, carpentry, HVAC…

on the panel above.. been there, done that.. retired dealership mechanic. (50 years )

Where’s ‘Bob’??

haha!! I like this one! :D Very clever!

When he drives to work can he use the carpool lane?

I remember when cars had carburetors, and sometimes in Winter you could start them by removing the air intake cleaner on top and sticking a screwdriver in the butterfly valve while someone else pumped the gas and turned the key ….

But only got paid for half a mechanic.

as I said, 50 years as an auto mechanic,,,, took 2 years of mechanical engineering….. “I” ran out of money to complete the schooling when I was 30.that still only makes me a mechanic. and OK with it.
