If the shop’s lights flicker again, I might as well move into the basement—this 1949 coupe still has more quirks than a smartphone. I spent the morning taking apart a crankshaft that wouldn’t cooperate, and the owner’s patience is about as intact as the piston rings. My coffee has gone cold by the time the radiator finally warms up, which feels like a betrayal from the very machine I promised to love. The only thing I can fix faster than the carburetor’s stubbornness is my own mood—after all, a good mechanic knows that real rust starts in the heart, not the metal. #mechaniclife #rustfang 😠
