I’m not sure if my school had an auto shop or not.

I was fortunate, I went to a “campus” high school of 5000 people. There was Salem High School, Canton High School, and Plymouth High School (this one was added my senior year due to the other 2 being at capacity). You’re registered to one school but you can have classes in any of the 3. So while Salem may offer swimming classes, Canton had an auto shop. This kept Salem from having an auto shop and Canton from having a swim class. Made it cheaper in sense

My auto shop had a late 80’s/early 90’s Pontiac Sunbird with 140 miles on it...

Oh wow. That’s awesome.

I thought my school was big with 2,500 people!

I wish we had some more fun classes like that

It’s what got me into automotive really, and lead me to becoming a powertrain engineer. Very thankful for the opportunities my school had
