<VV> Cool stupid stuff in the garage

[Dave Keillor]

Sure, I remember them from when I was a teenager -- and use them.  They
were basically just media blasted and the metal painted or plated.
Going further back, my grandfather used to own a garage and he re-built
batteries during the winter.  Also, some folks had their engines
overhauled every winter.  His garage was in Minneapolis and a lot of
people stored their cars during the winter in the teens and early
twenties.

Subject: <VV> Cool stupid stuff in the garage

As everyone knows I am cleaning out the garage of a lot of stuff I 
don't need because I am moving from four Corvairs to one.  Some of 
the stuff came from my grandfather who had Corvairs from day one, he 
was a member of the Central Coast Corvairs in California.  His name 
was Walter Schroeder and he passed away last year.  Between us at the 
craziest time we had over 10 Corvairs.

One of the coolest things I got from his garage after he passed away 
was something that only his generation would but and only something 
that a company would even make way back when ....

REBUILT SPARK PLUGS!!!!!

Really.  Shrink-wrapped in plastic are 6 shiny clean AC 46FF plugs 
that were rebuilt by somebody or the other spark plug rebuilding 
company.  He had another package of Champions also rebuilt.

I'm keeping those -- they are so much a symbol of that time and my 
grandfather.  Anyone else even heard of such a thing?  Of course this 
another example of something "rare" (how many unopened packages of 
these still exist) -- but nobody would actually want them to use so 
they have little value except sentiment.

Meanwhile I still use the Nology Beru Silverstone plugs and would use 
no other.  Amazing plugs.
