Welp, I was spoiled having a reliable vehicle for 13 years! I am glad I'm really good at working on cars... before anyone says anything: yes, I've done this before. Yes, I have all of the safety protocols/equipment. I forgot to put the fire extinguisher, safety goggles, gloves and larger drip pan in the picture. Yes, the car I'm working on has an access hatch in the trunk. Yes, I've double-checked Seattle's laws and disposal instructions. Yes, this does interrupt my previously scheduled programming. I'm still waiting for parts for my Fiat. I'm currently driving a vintage Buick Regal. The car part issues, which is due to the tariffs, has even made it harder to get Buick parts and tools. My business has been greatly affected by not having a reliable vehicle. Thanks to all of my clients for their patience.
