OK,,,I don't get it??? Have always respected Pat's posts and his vast experience.SOMETIMES,,,,internet posting makes us feel like 'old buddies' and we may get 'casual' in our remarks and say things that we assume the other person understands our thinking/reasoning and we over assume.Thats internet posting for you.
That wasn't Pat getting out of that car after doing the welding then,,,maybe it was presuming a jokeing that would come across as an innocent friendly jestering??? I don't know,,,,but I think we have all done similiar,to some degree,,,since learning to do computer website posting after remarking/commenting with buddies in a garage/shop setting.
Maybe?
And by the way,,,,that video shows a mishap that could happen for many reasons,even with 'perfect' welds with a 4-link or homemade suspension components ,everyone knows that.
