*disclaimer - This is an OLD recording. Mike and I recorded back in the spring. For some reason, we had massive difficulties recording, and the audio turned out awful. It took 3 different people to get the audio to the point you hear it now, barely listenable. My sincerest apologies for the quality. Mike deserves better.

Your tools are your livelihood as a mechanic... What happens if they're gone in an instant?
