Call in – Humble Mechanic

Hi everybody!
It has been almost 3 months since I last did an update on the Cabby. There are a few reasons for that. The main one is, I have not touched the car in that long.

When we last left our hero
I was driving her home from my work on Thanksgiving. I was almost home when a fuel line broke and started pouring fuel. While it is a very simple and cheap fix, I just have not gotten to it. And to be honest, I am not a fan of working on the cold garage floor.

It is a strange thing for me. I am either all in or all out on projects. I spent so many hours last year getting the cabby built. I think I needed a break. Plus driving a convertible in winter is not nearly as fun as in the summer. I am starting to get he bug again.

Until I get the fuel line fixed, this is how she sits. Luckily I am not too concerned about the “paint” 😉 And yeah, I know my Passat needs a bath.

I know that today was a short update. I wanted to fill you all in on what is happening with the cabby. I guess I should have said what is not happening. In the last Cabby update I go into more detail about this years plans.

Call in show
I set up a call in line on Tuesday. Now I have a way for you to call in your questions. I would love to hear from you guys with your questions. I really want to get this segment rocking, but I need your help.

Hey folks,

Last week I asked you guys if you would be interested in me adding a “call in” feature to the site. A place where you can call and ask a question. Once I had a few questions to answer, I would shoot a video or record a podcast and answer them.

I set up a widget on the right side bar. Just click the link and you can call and leave a voice mail. How freaking cool is the internet. There are a wide variety of topics we can cover. Below is a list of topics off the top of my head:

Volkswagens
General Car repair
What does XYZ car part do
Should I DIY a specific repair
A shop said my car needs ABC-123 repairs, what do you think?\
Tools <~ This one excites me 🙂
Questions to ask a mechanic
What to look for in buying a car, new or used
Anything about being a mechanic
How Flat rate works

I am sure there are a million other things that people want to know about. I have spent 2 and a half years talking about it. Now you have a chance to drive the ship!

I would really love to make this a weekly thing. But I need your help to make this a success. How can you help? Well, start by calling in. Then share the site. If you are on a forum or Facebook, let folks know.

Oh, one last thing, don’t think that you HAVE to call in a question. You can still contact me or email me, Charles(at)Humblemechanic(dot)com. I wanted to give you another way to get my advice. Your question may also help someone else too.
