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
