[Shop-talk] auto shop slang

[crothfuss at coastalnet.com]

Hot Damn Elton, 

   "Possum Pecker"!!  That's one I'd never heard.  I may be the only guy in the shop that immediately knew why you'd call it that, but I'm probably the only one with cats and possums living under their house.

   Our new car delevery guy has coined the term "Ho" for cars that the porters leave "hanging out in the street."

   Thanks to all for the help with this.  Great stuff.

Chuck
