People are plain stupid.... that include some of you here on this list.
2 days ago, i inspected an 87, original fuel line, no more clamp on the fuel
rail, or what was left of them, piece of rust.
Something like that, but worse:

So, i offer the guys to at least replace the clamps because this is to
dangerous... he said how much? can it wait till next year? I said NO!
I said bro, i'm busy like hell but i can not let you go like that, he said
again, how much? i tell him about 20$ for all the clamp + 1 hour... he said,
i will wait till next time.
2 kids in the back....
Plain frigging stupid person... so go die in you van, it will be your coffin.
Don't tell me i'm rough! yes i am, because people are ignorant, and that is
ok, my job is to tell them. So this guy probably tought that i was trying to
riped him off.
It was my Job to tell him, the following is NOT my job, it's something i did
so people can be more aware.

I'm so tired of telling the same story. 50% of people just don't care, go
and drive what could become your coffin.
I have so many ugly storry about stupid Vanagon/Bus's driver's...
Here a quick one: one guy, 87 Vanagon, good for the crusher, he paid 13k, i
fully inspect the van, pieces of crap, not much clutch left, not much brake
left, master is leaking, no compression on 2 cylinders, only 2 motor mounts
left (on 4).... I tell him fix the van, put it in your backyard until you
have moeny or sell it for 1K, but don't go in a 2000 miles vacation with
that coffin on wheel, you got 2 kids in the back and one is only a few
months old... he said ok, thanks Ben, he feels stupid... lately, on a local
mailing list... i see that he is still going in vacation and the van was NOT
fix... he his in a bubble of is own right now, he feel stupid that he bought
that van and he doesn't want to hear the truth.
Go kill your kids men, i have NO pity for this kind of person.
Believe me, i know how stupid we all can be, i was one of those guy with my
old 87, but now, i know a lot about those vans, and i'm sharing what i know,
me, no one told me anything at that time.
Ben
