<VV> RE: Working in strange places

All these stories of working your living room / backs of vans.....are 
fascinating....

Living in San Diego, Ca.....weather was seldom a problem....if you had no 
garage [ rentals were $3-$8 @ mth in the 60's ]  you did it on the front 
porch......theft was not a problem then,,,,you'd leave your tools out there as 
well.....

If you broke down  far from home....pull over to the side of the road..and 
hitch a ride home......or get a tow from a passerby....I once had a 400 mile run 
on a rope....

Once home...I never had the $$  to rebuild.....buy another engine / trans / 
diff.  from a wrecking yard.....get some friends [ one with a truck or large 
trunk ] and go fix it the next weekend....and we always had a good time....

Now you can no longer do that.....  garages that you can work in [ legally]  
are $400  and up...

Those were the DaZe!
