He drove an old international pickup that somehow had the steering wheel nut threads mostly stripped off. He would be driving down the road and hand you the steering wheel saying he was tired and it was your turn to drive. Scared the bejesus out of me the first time, but he always took it back and got a good laugh out of it. Same guy when helping him as a pre-teen rebuilt an engine (too young to remember what). When getting done handing him tools, there were 16 long 1/2" bolts left over. The engine fired and ran. So he threw them into a bucket and drove off. Apparently with my knowledge gained years later, it had to be an engine with 4 bolt mains and he didn't' put in all the bolts.</blockquote>
