Those in-ground hydraulic lifts were the standard design for many years. At the first real mechanic's job I ever had my bay had one installed. Tricky things to work with, especially if they were older, and had worn out seals and were leaking oil. --

Ray, I thought about you when I saw the kid sitting in the gas station.  I remember you saying how much you learned from the old timers in a similar setting

And we think 10K RPMs are something new, check out the cars in the background.

The engines on those planes were considered scrap. Today those engines are worth a small fortune.

Yep these punks with their LS engines think they discovered the moon or something

Absolutely -- The good thing was that my parents supported my interests and let me hang out there as long as I wasn't a nuisance.

BTW Phil, remember back in the day when gas stations used to give out drinking glass tumblers when you filled up with premium? My mother had a cupboard full of them.

How about the green stamps LMAO. When I worked in a gas station, I'd pull a 10ft string off the roll for some folks.

Of course, that green stamp deal was short lived...... 60's

Heck yeah pep! My parents were all about green stamps. We still own a card table that my wife’s grandmother bought with her booklets of S&H stamps. My first boy scout knife and tent were bought with green stamps. Ahhh - life was a lot simpler then.

I’ve still got some of those tumblers 😁

Still have a few of the Atlantic Richfield glass. I consider this a juice glass as it is 3-1/2" tall.
