Hot Rods Quotes to live by...

Just read the thread “ How Long” concerning problem bolts, reminded me of a quote a mechanic told me when I frist started in the profession “ Something will get it”. While quite simple, I have applied that simple quote to a lot of things in my life, broken bolt or broken life. Thought maybe others here may have some pearls of wisdom that may help we mechanics and hotrodders. Bones
