Kyle,
    My daddy had a service station, (remember those?) three bays, one 
alignment rack, one general services and one for longer term projects. 
 There were two gas islands with three pumps each, regular, unleaded and 
hi-test.  I remember this well.  I learned to do my mechanicing here.  I 
tuned up my first car here, a '66 Chevy II, it was a customers car, but 
daddy watched me like a hawk.  Then, he let me do some of my own service 
work.  I'm only 35,  and he sold the station in 1980, so I was fairly 
young at the time.

>That's the way I learned mechaniking - with my dad "supervising."  I was 13 when my grandpa gave me his '46 Willys CJ-2a, and I just tore into it with dad sometimes there and other times letting me do my own thing.  It runs great now almost 13 years later.  If it hadn't been for that project, I may be sending my car to Jiffy-Lube for oil changes!
