    Kilted Car Mechanics in Oklahoma

    I saw this today. Very cool! I'm not sure if I hotlinked it correctly, but you can always copy and paste to the site.

    The link worked fine for me. A nice little piece and a good common sense mechanic.

    Nice.

    I have considered working on my own car in the garage while kilted. Especially since the past month or so has been into (and WELL into) 100+ degrees F. But, I just can't get around the fact that it wouldn't be very practical when crawling underneath. Fine, I suppose, if all you do is interior and engine stuff, but I wouldn't want to crawl underneath kilted...It seems that it would be more cumbersome than anything once on the ground.

    I saw this today and it is definitely cool.

    It may not be practical as was said by Spartan Tartan, BUT, it did get him a lot of free advertising, and that doesn't hurt at all!

    I work on cars and bikes kilted all the time, no worries unless I have to slide under!

    A quote from the news clip: "He says he gets a pretty good share of giggles and strange looks, but, "this is the manliest man-wear you can wear," David O’Brien said."

    Ain't that the truth!
