    Young and didn't know any better.

    A picture I have seen twice in the last week and lifted for your viewing pleasure. How I miss the days of being young and not knowing any better. The rabbit holes of our past is here in this unknown picture.

    The no shoes is evidence the pic was taken in Bakersfield.

    Must be photoshopped.  Isn’t there supposed to be a huge red stain/puddle under that thing?

    I noticed the shoeless work. The puddle is between the tranny and the kid. He looks to have absorbent material under the tranny.

    If that picture is legit... I give that kid a high five for working on an automatic transmission. Something I would never do, even as an adult. I only ever have removed them and sent them off to the experts...

    We had a gravel driveway and I would change transmissions and what ever else in that driveway.  Even laid out in the snow and worked on cars/trucks.

    Which third world country was this?
    Kidding. In all honesty major respect for guys that did/do have to work in those conditions.

    Re: Young and didn't know any better.

    That third world country could have been Canada Bob.
    When We moved into our new house in the winter of 1978,it had a stone driveway. I can remember putting on a snowmobile suit and changing the starter of our  1970 Ford Club Wagon.
    I had to do it at night after getting home from work, no jack only a trouble light to see.
    I also got a winter story about walking back and forth to school in the snow uphill both ways in two feet of snow.
