15
That one Tuesday where I fixed three cars before lunch and felt like a wizard
Ngl, I've been turning wrenches for about 15 years now, and I still remember this one day back in 2018 that was just unreal. I had a Ford F-150 come in with a rough idle, traced it to a bad MAF sensor in like 10 minutes. Then a Honda Civic with a coolant leak that turned out to be a loose hose clamp, not even a part needed. And then a Jeep Cherokee that wouldn't start, and it was just a corroded ground cable I cleaned up with a wire brush. All three were done by 11am, and I just sat there thinking, man, why can't every day be like this? Has anyone else had a day where everything just clicked and you felt on top of the world?

Oh man, those days are the BEST! I had almost the exact same thing happen with a Corolla, a Subaru, and an old Chevy truck back in 2019, felt like I couldn't miss if I tried.

Yeah I had one of those days last spring and I swear I was walking on clouds for the rest of the week. It's like the universe just hands you a perfect line of easy fixes and you get to feel like a genius for a few hours. Those days are rare but man do they remind you why you got into this stuff in the first place.
