!!Danger philosophy follows!!

Anyone doing more than simple maintenance on a fiero needs a good moaning chair.
To the best of my knowledge the moaning chair is the invention of Harold "Dynamite" Payson, a New England boat builder.
The concept is simple. If you crack a rear clip when removing it, strip out a bolt, drop a nut right into an open intake, or crimp a brake line with ill advised jacking ,you stop and sit in the chair.
A good moaning chair should be in the garage by the car. It should be comfortable, but not too comfortable. It should have a back so you can slouch and have a good moan. Foot rests are optional.
To use the chair you get a mug of coffe, a glass of water, or a can of beer, what ever you prefer. Take your drink and sit in the moaning chair. Sip. Moan. Call youself an idiot. Complain at the !@^*%&% GM engineer who designed this piece of !%&)%&. Ask why the Gods hate you so. After one or two Coffee's, waters, beers, whatevers. Get your ass off of the chair and get back to work.
It actually works. Really. Try it. Mr. Payson is one smart man.

*Adds a "Moaning Chair" to his list of items to buy for the garage*

Seriously, that's a good idea. God knows I screw up enough in the garage!

I actually set up a couch in the work area of my shop. When I'm trying to get something just right and it isn't going my way, I lay down on the couch and figure it out.....or I drink a beer.
