Cheap car repairs:
In 1965 a friend brought his Mothers new '65 Corvair Monza to school, for oil change project in Auto Shop class. After he was done and during lunch; 3 or 4 of us in 2 cars went driving around and decided to cruise over to another highschool nearby. One thing led to another and we ended up racing around chasing each other through some neighborhoods. The guy driving the Corvair lost control and slid the car into a curb bending the wheel and the suspension arm to where the wheel was almost folded under. (Hello Ralph Nadar) Uh Oh! We limped it back to school, the guy was scared SH**LESS and hurridly gathered a monetary collection from everyone we could think of at school, the figure of around $45-60 seems to ring a bell. He called the dealer and they said they could take it in and had the parts in stock....whew! He cut class, had the car towed in, got it fixed and back home before anyone suspected a thing. Cost about $45.00
parts AND labor. Mom NEVER found out.
Good job Greg.........your secret is safe with me!
