I'll second that -- for about two weeks I worked in a wrecking
yard in Bremerton Washington -- I'm no wimp or quitter, but those
guys were insane imbeciles -- they were going to die/get maimed.
No thanks!

In fact, the one job I recall was yanking a torque tube rear
from some big AMC. The car was stacked on other cars, and as it
slid off to one side, about to kill me and the mouth-breather
I'm working with, he jammed a driveshaft or something to prop
the rambler up to the next car over, which leaned, but he kept
yanking on the TT. I was actually scared for my life.

Would that clown (and his boss) torch out a gas tank? Oh yeah.

Some people simply need to be told what to do and how to do it.
