4.7l woes and rant

I have a buddy that i went to auto school with back in AZ that lives in near Stillwater, Minnesota and hes a mechanic and does alot of side work. I visited him a couple of times and seeing the cars and the trucks he works on doing brake jobs and what not.. HOLY CRAP i cant believe the amount of rust on the cars he works on to where i can see it being a real pain in the *** to work on! Glad i live in California, besides the shitty politics hear.
