What is the best advise one-liner you know? Something that you "live" by or could live by or be posted on your shop wall.

My favorite is:

"Don't let the wish bone replace the back bone"

Here's a quick tip to let you know that VCCA members have access to Technical Advisors for all years of Chevrolet. It's sort of like calling a business and speaking to a "REAL PERSON". It's worth the price of membership!
Technical Advisor info is posted at: http://vcca.org/advisors.htm
Membership info is posted at: http://vcca.org/application.htm

While you can get a lot of information for free on the Chat site, sometimes the info that you REALLY need is only available from the right person. This is what “The World’s Best Chevrolet Club” is all about.

Years ago a VCCA member was asking the VCCA Technical Advisor for his year of car about what type of spark plugs to use in his vehicle. And, I will never forget the TA's reply because it is a total classic. His answer was:

"If it will screw in it will work!"

I'm with 42bill, it took me a long time to learn it and sometimes I learned hard way but it's the most useful advice you can give someone working on an old car.

Oh man, I just LOVE this one.....

K.I.S.S.

Keep It Simple Stupid.

We hear over and over in here that after replacing / re-doing all the 'hard things' that it was just a 'simple, little thing' that caused the 'problem.'

And, ain't it amazing, we've ALL done it.......



Bill.

I got some wooden round "to its" a few years back...LOL

John, it all depends on how you 'love' your neighbor...

Bet some local club could make shop banners with some of these quotes and make a buck or two...
