I remember working in a Humble filling station (Exxon today) when I was a kid for 50 cents an hour. Had a couple of Hudsons come in. Really smooth running, sleek cars. As I recall you had to step down into them. The floorboards were lower than the door sill.
Then one day a guy came in with a Packard 2 door hard top and had a tire problem. I jacked the rear up and fixed the tire. I then let it down and the rear stayed in the air a good bit and the front was much lower than it was when I started.
I was scratching my head and looking at it when I happen to see the owner standing in the door (like he always did) having a big laugh. He called me over and told me that it had a air bag torsion system whereby you could do this and that with the suspension. Phew. I thought I had really done something wrong.
On the owner in the door, once upon a time I went to get a customer on the tricycle Harley we had.....the one with the box on the back like the Metropolitan Police had in large cities.
I didn't see anything wrong with it. I went to his motel, got off, motioned him on the box behind where I sat, got on and away we went. Both enjoyed it......but the boss went ballistic and as I was driving in the place, his index finger was pointing at me in a "get your #$% over here" motion and he had a real bad look on his face.
Needless to say, I kept my job but took the p/u after that.

With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
