@@dispatch444 thats i believe people should be driving these old vehicles or fully mechanical cars instead of these new efi computers on wheels. you dont need apple car play and a massage chair and you dont need to go 200+ mph to drive a few miles down the road to work. its to go from a to b. i guess people were more humble back then and didnt need much. people these days want a literal living room to drive around in with tv screens and recliners and all kinds of other useless features.

You may consider this comment to be invasive. I know you don’t have an email address or any point of contact (I’m sure you’re busy enough as it is) was just curious what it would take to bring in a young man like myself to shadow you. The odds of you reading this are higher than you accepting this offer and untrusting a stranger from the inter webs. But without trying you would never be where you are and without me asking I would never have the chance to get a response or for you to consider such a feat. I’m not asking to be paid. I’m not asking to be boarded. I’m not asking for anything more than to be in your presence for as long as you deem reasonable. I hold a valid drivers license. I am coherent and good with following directions. I come from a loving family who pushes me to explore opportunities and leave my comfort zone. And I hope you reading this (if possible) sparks your interest in having me out to help, learn, and be good company
