Default Bubba got me..

Looks like he JB welded the overflow fitting back on the top of my radiator. Crap. Now it's got to come out.

That guy is everywhere. Seems he has had his hands in most everyones cars. He did the same thing to mine but it was at the fill tank on the fender well. The small tube that came out and went to the radiator.

Do you ever wonder what all of the bubbas do for a living?

Nuclear physicist, missle silo technician, president of the federal reserve etc...

Scary thought if you really think about it.

there is a fine line between bubba and genious. Bubbas are found in all walks of life, I bought my vette from my uncle, an engeneer, turns out he is a bubba. Need to get into the engine bay? no problem!, he just cut out the inside of the fenderwell and duct taped it back in.... all his "repairs" have translated into a lot of frustration for me, the best thing he did was not drive it for the last decade he owned it.
