            LOL, I’ve actually used thread locker before on my past vehicles, and still never had as much issue as trying to loosen and remove nuts and bolts from someone else’s neglected vehicle… ☹️

              Loosen isn’t an issue, it’s when i want to spin it out with my hand because there’s no clearance for tools or socket or ratchet and i have to spin it little by little with a spanner that i wish i anti-seize it instead, yet it’s the bolt/nut i wouldn’t want it to break loose while the vehicle is operating, so all i can do is bitch and whine while doing the work. But then it’s way better than a rusted bolt lol

    Not a mechanic, but I work from home and my wife gauges how busy I am by the intensity and frequency of the swearing. Post checks out.

    my cousin, who conveniently lives next door to me has been a mechanic for probably 30+ years and i can confirm excessive amounts of cursing being involved in any car maintenance.

    Just to give a shout out to my boss when I worked as a mechanic, I’d like to say “get the fuckin’ torch. She’s hogged up tighter than a nuns cunt” and also a “she shakes like a sick whore shiting blood”. Lastly, I’ll add “fuck you shit whore fucking cunt”

    Duane, you made amazing progress in the world of profanity and you were an amazing mentor.

    Thank you.

      I’ve got plenty enough hours years under both fields to confidently admit, cursing comes with basically any field of repair.
