Oh, hell, I can't do it. I was never that clueless.

I'm still learning!

Though joining this forum even before owning the car has answered many questions and helped prepped me for many of the noises the car makes + other quirks. But then again, I probably would have passed it off as normal without knowing it was already normal.

It's a fine line. Kind of like going through the Windows event logs. Gotta know which errors actually matter.

Oh, yes you were ......

At least I was:

When we painted the buildings, back on the farm, we mixed our own paint. My job as a kid, dressed in nothing except shorts, was to mix in the powered lead into the 5 gallon pales of paint.

When it came time to spray the briars along the fence rows, my job was to hang out over the side of the wagon with the boom, wearing no respirator. Yes, we sprayed with a herbicide called 2,4,5-TP. And yes, we called 2,4,5-TP agent orange in Viet Nam.

We used galvanized pipe to weld up headers, in shop, because it was cheaper than black pipe. Little did we realize those white fumes were not so good for us.

I reckon I'd better stop ....... before folks start thinking I may be brain damaged......

Now, @Ultramaroon ....... you may tell some stories ......

Bah, Event 6008 server rebooted unexpectedly is fine. I'll take a look at it later after I browse ft86club.

Oh, of course I was. I didn't have powered lead but I did have my mercury collection from a bunch of old thermostats I salvaged.

...and then there was that 5-gallon can of carbon tetrachloride we used to clean parts ...and our hands.

Galvanized? Yeah, I welded a bunch of that too.

Think about all the brake drums we cleaned using compressed air.

All us old guys did shit like that and yet not one of us has been brain damaged enough to ask everybody how often they drive their car in the rain.

Not once.

Ever.

That I am aware of.

Or if they did I have forgotten.

Where am I?

What were we talking about?

Oh look some nice peeling 1952 paint.

Yummy.

Tastes like salt and vinegar chips.

Hey, do any of you guys ever park where there are birds?

My car is covered in bird poop and I am ascared it is ruined.

Oh look more paint.
