Why is Bubba such a popular machanic?
He does work in Cali. NJ. FL. ND. even over seas. Just last night I noticed some more of his work. I have a slight leak at my ps cylinder. Well the one line has been cross treaded into the cylinder. My friend (a machanic) if it is just a slight leak "don't touch it" his words " If the pull tab is missing and the can is not open, don't open it" :cheers:

A Chevy is supposed to leak. If you fix that PS leak, the tranny will start leaking. Then the valve covers will leak. You tighten those and the front seal will start dripping oil. Did I mention the water pump?
So ya just gotta let 'er leak a little otherwise she'll leak a lot! So sez Bubba...

Re: Why is Bubba such a popular machanic? (comp)
Yeah, bubba is everywhere. I was under the car trying to adjust the strut rods and noticed the adjuster nut was stripped. So I, no wait, I mean "bubba" found a ford lugnut and used that to replace the old stripped adjuster nut. I am just worried that the vette is going to become tempermental becuase of the ford nut. :sad:

Kinda like Mr Goodwrench (works everywhere) only on an amateur level with tools likened to a 10 year olds. :lolg: :lolg: :lolg: :lolg: :lolg: :lolg:
I know Bubba works for me, just not on my car.

Re: Why is Bubba such a popular machanic? (Eric R)
Ever notice that Bubba has a sticker on the back window that says "Ain't Skeered" That is the reason he works on Corvettes so much. He isn't scared of anything no matter how large or small. Bubba does work that no one else will even dream of doing.
For years Vette owners have carried their cars to shops and even dealerships that would tell you straight up that they do not work on Corvettes. Carry it to Bubba and he will get right to it. Bubba is proud to get to work on a Corvette just to get to test drive it!! He even gets bragging rights about how he fixed that Corvette for some guy that even paid his bill when he picked it up and didn't even haggle about how much it cost.
Bubba, you are my hero, and you can fix anything with a hammer and a 1/2x9/16 wrench!!!
