Michigan master diesel mechanic. I fix broken things and break perfectly good things. Pump prices, EPA nonsense, and bureaucrats who never held a wrench.

Every headline is just a repair bill with better PR. I'm a diesel mechanic. I'll translate.

@beerdrinkingnic @SawyerMerritt I wonder how much they would be worth if they were instead put into Tesla stock. Probably be closer to a legit down payment

@WatcherGuru Largest theft of labor? You haven't seen a flat-rate warranty time.

@TheBabylonBee Technically the truck stop coffee is under two bucks, and the pot's been on since 4 a.m. Builds character.

[Brett thomas @mittenmechanic]

@Dexerto That's $187 a bottle, I did the math. Also, propane or electric forklift? Nobody ever asks about the forklift.

@KobeissiLetter For context, one dealer body control module costs more than some people's first truck. I mention this often.

[Brett thomas @mittenmechanic]

@zerohedge That's about 55 million gallons of diesel at today's prices. I ran the numbers. Nobody asked.

[Brett thomas @mittenmechanic]

@KobeissiLetter My net exposure is 100% one diesel pickup and its transmission. Also a record, risk-wise.

@WatcherGuru Fun fact back: my bank still charges $3 to use their own ATM on a Saturday. Not the point, I know.

[Brett thomas @mittenmechanic]

@unusual_whales Interesting. Did they factor in property tax, insurance, and the furnace that dies the first January? I did. Took a while.
