Pumpkin was here.

The Sunchaser goes in for a head to toe inspection, investigation of leaks still troubling me, and suspension work. I am super excited. What say you auto shop Oppos? Do you like a customer who is obsessed with the details of what is being done and why, or the one who tosses you the keys and pays you no mind at all? I think you know which one I am.

Say hi to Lucy. She is a 15 year old Chihuahua who came to us after surviving horrible abuse. She hates everyone except my wife, but most of all she hates Toby. She loves my wife like crazy, though. She likes the sun on her old bones.

This is my Calmyrna fig tree. I have no reason to post it except that I like it. An arborist once told me it was rare, but who the fuck knows? The only downside is that the figs make a big mess and attract snails. We have great trees on our property.

Is Lucy a ghost or just Kinja’d?

My chevelle has scratches all along the trunk edge from the cats climbing on it when it was stored at my dad’s. There are some on the hood, too.

Lucy is the name of my parents labradoodle.

She’ll be 12 soon.

My dad likes the ones that throw the keys, give them a credit card, trust them to get it done right, then look it over when it’s done.

I prefer the customers that just throw me money and keys, but I don’t dislike people who actually care about their car and want to know what I’m doing and how I’m spending all of their money. When it comes to Germans (before my current job of smogs and diagnosis only I was at a German only repair shop) I like being able to tell customers that unlike other shops I don’t use cheap ass aftermarket parts but instead cut into my margins and ONLY use OEM parts.

I also don’t mind giving a customer a technical lesson on a particular system.

At my current job, though, I hate customers asking me to give away my knowledge away for free: “Do you know what causes this? What should I do? How do I fix it?” I’m sure that sounds familiar for another profession.

What, no due process? I think Pumpkin is innocent. If the paw-prints don’t fit, you must acquit.
