    Went to a typical clean and service today. 2 Units. 1 was a Weil McLain GO-3 and a Hallmark HBD 85. The WM is for the small log cabin that has radiant heat through out the house, and the walk way out side to the garage. The Hallmark keeps the garage warm for this.

    This poor neglected 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10. Just sitting here rotting away. The tires are dry rotting, the inspection and registration are over 3 years old and the odometer only has a little over 3000 mile on the clock. This is the owners toy box. Next to my van is a cascading line of 5 ATV's, 4 Dirt bikes and off to the right of the picture are 2 new Harleys.
    The owner loads the RT on the lift, and parks everything else under the car. It was a sad shame to see the dust just sitting on this beast. The rag top and weird windows for this are just shoved into a corner rotting away... Alas we finished our cleaning and had to leave..

    Doesn't that make you just want to puke?????!!!!!


    A fellow tech told me that yesterday he had to fix a no cool for some ruck folk in Paradise Valley. Turns out to be some large game area (building) behind the main house. The kids have a approx 70" wide screen for video games and assorted other toys in this building behind the home.

    He said they were upset it didn't cool to like 72 or soemthing.

    And he said each kid came home while he was there working. One driving a Mercedes, and one driving a H2 or soemthing.

    He said neither kid could have been over 17!

    They might be a bit spoiled!

    Obviously this customer has toooo much moola to burn. You need to increase your prices considerably. This will help him in his spending dilemma. Tell him you will help relieve him from his misery by first removing that old dilapidated Viper. Thereby increasing valuable garage space for those ATV's.

    Sounds more Like Jelousy, "Remember its not how much you make, Its how much You Save". I think Bill Gates or someone said that once.
