The Mechanic and The Cardiologist

A Lexus mechanic was removing a cylinder head from the motor
of a LS460 when he spotted a well known cardiologist in his shop.

The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come
and take a look at his car when the mechanic shouted across the
garage, "Hey Doc, want to take a look at this?"


The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working.

The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked,
"So Doc, look at this engine. I opened its heart, took the valves out,
repaired or replaced anything damaged, and then put everything back in,
and when I finished, it worked just like new.

So how is it that I make $48,000 a year and you make $1.7M,
when you and I are doing basically the same work?"

The cardiologist paused, leaned over,
and then whispered to the mechanic.......

"Try doing it with the engine running.”

Ba-rump, bump. Dish!!

New vehicles are about as complicated as the human body. Mechanics able to fix them are about as uncommon as competent cardiologists.

Tell me about it; in the past (before auto computer intel)we could work on our own + any part was not more than $15.00. Good by straight 6.In 1966 I used a bobby pin for a rotor in my Barracuda.Not today.
