I remember working in a Humble filling station (Exxon today) when I was a kid for 50 cents an hour. Had a couple of Hudsons come in. Really smooth running, sleek cars. As I recall you had to step down into them. The floorboards were lower than the door sill.
Then one day a guy came in with a Packard 2 door hard top and had a tire problem. I jacked the rear up and fixed the tire. I then let it down and the rear stayed in the air a good bit and the front was much lower than it was when I started.
I was scratching my head and looking at it when I happen to see the owner standing in the door (like he always did) having a big laugh. He called me over and told me that it had a air bag torsion system whereby you could do this and that with the suspension. Phew. I thought I had really done something wrong.
On the owner in the door, once upon a time I went to get a customer on the tricycle Harley we had.....the one with the box on the back like the Metropolitan Police had in large cities.
I didn't see anything wrong with it. I went to his motel, got off, motioned him on the box behind where I sat, got on and away we went. Both enjoyed it......but the boss went ballistic and as I was driving in the place, his index finger was pointing at me in a "get your #$% over here" motion and he had a real bad look on his face.
Needless to say, I kept my job but took the p/u after that.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
