resetting
During auto shop at Taft High in the 1960s,one of our budget minded low-rider classmates decided he would 'reset' his coil springs,while installed on the car,with an oxyacetylene torch.They referred to it as 'torching the springs.'
And yes,he managed to catch his car on fire which was hilarious in a terrifying way,but not as funny as the reaction of Mr.Howard,our shop instructor,who,when he realized what was going on nearly lost it completely.
I've never heard a teacher cuss out a student so completely and without ever actually using any expletives!
Thanks for the memory!
