Featured Remarkable Results Radio Podcast - Scott 'GONZO' Weaver
Meet Scott Weaver from Superior Auto Electric ... the world knows him as Gonzo fromGonzo's Tool Box.  He is published every month and shares his brand of knowledge and humor on 'Gonzostoolbox.com. ' No doubt if you earn your living on the service side of the aftermarket, you've either been to his site or read his articles or book.
He started working on mechanical things back when he grew up in Pennsylvania in a small rural area of the countryside. He would find an old lawnmower, tear it apart and see what made it tick. His dad had a collection of old automotive manuals from the 30's through the 50's that he would read from cover to cover. After a while a lot of it made sense to him.
