The funnel is just set out of the way right there
I hope you don't forget the funnel is there and then close the hood on it...
A few things wil happen...
First...you will dimple your hood and indicate a good spot for a hood scoop...
Second...you will invent the worlds first accordian funnel...and then be able to market it to folks that have their trunk stuffed with so much stuff...that they don't have room for a funnel in its normal state...
Along those lines...that reminded me of something...
I worked at a mechanic shop that gave you (paid you) only twelve minutes to do an oil change on modern cars...and a lot of them had a belly pan you had to R&R to do the job...
I did not work there very long...after the first couple of paychecks...I packed my tools up...
Anyway...this woman's car came in and she needed us to pull the wheels...
So...'Where is the locking lug nut key?' was the next question...
'Uh...idaknow'...was the answer...not in the glove box or in the console, either...ok...gotta look in the trunk...
You know when you 'pop' the trunk...normally the lid comes up an inch...or a fraction...
THIS one practically flew open...from all of the 'stuff' in it...
It looked like her mommy had kicked her out of the house...and planned to rent out her old room...all of the 'stuff' in it was 'stuffed' into the trunk...
I just needed to get the missing lug-nut key...but I had to deal with all of this 'stuff' and ....believe me...it was tough to get it all back in there after I finally found the key...on the bottom of the trunk...
At least I found it...but I did not get paid for the additional hassle...
As a matter of fact...I was getting paid very little for everything I did there...
That was one of the reasons I left that job...I am not going to subsidize someone else's transportation costs...
I gotta make a living just like everybody else...and with the crap a mechanic has to go through to make a living...it better be a fairly decent one...
Sorry, funny how things will remind you of a myriad of other things...
Anyone else have any parallel situations..?
