Terah has an amusing series about small-town mechanics.
In part 1, she talks to the mechanic. He doesn’t know of me, or my name… until she mentions what car I drive. Then he knows exactly who I am.
In part 2, she mentions that it reminds her of a dealership… except “if I were at a dealership, I probably wouldn’t have been sitting on a seat that had been pulled out of a van while listening to the mechanic sing along to the radio.”
