I swear I thought I saw him post he was retiring. 
I can’t remember where, but I guess it was a joke?

Maybe best to do some self reflecting as to why people would believe he would give up racing instead of wasting time “pranking for views” 🤷‍♂️

I don't know how you're coming that conclusion.
The machine to the right looks older, but if well maintained, it can still make precision parts.
The blue machines in the background look newer.

The wood benches and pedestals are always going to be dirty.  They're making parts out of metal, and raw metal isn't delivered perfectly clean.
What would you expect?
You can build benches out of metal and cover them with something, then recover them occasionally, but wood is going to get and stay dirty.
I don't see a bunch of crap on the floor.  It seems the benches have simply been in use for a while.

It's unfair to judge the shop by the wood benches.  Let's see what kind of tolerances they're holding.

My favorite cliche to use when touring people through my plants is, “We don’t work in a museum….”  Not that things need to be ignored and neglected, but when I see machines that are perfect, like they were just installed earlier that morning, I wonder how productive the plant actually is. And some of my manufacturing machines have been well over 60 years old. They may not have looked brand new, but their functional maintenance was meticulous.

Agreed!

The first machine shop I worked at stayed well organized and pretty clean.

We spent the last 5 or 10 minutes of each day cleaning up. Everyone pitched in.  It made a big difference, and I believe being organized helped the shop run more efficiently.

Also, some of the machines were re-painted each year or so.  This was good for meetings with potential customers.
