I serenaded them with my guitar playing. That's good enough for me on short notice
At least they didn't come over and tell you to knock it off or catch a charge like interfering with a cop's duties. That's a pretty generic charge in many jurisdictions.
I took out an old Mercedes (prepared on Tuesday as they had Monday off) and came back down on power and blowing a bit of blue smoke.
It wasn't bad enough for me to have 'em come tow me home, but I'm pretty sure there's a gasket blown or something like that. I just babied it home as it wasn't all that far from home when I noticed it.
Well that sucks. It sure is nice when something like that comes up to have a couple mechanics on staff to take care of it for you. I would hope that things like that get them excited to figure out the issue and repair it good as new.
They told me they'd have it in the shop tomorrow morning and give me a report by tomorrow afternoon.
And the word is, I think, "comforting." As in, it's comforting to know I have two automotive engineers working for me. It takes away a bunch of stress I'd otherwise have, plus it lets me have a larger collection.

It's a pretty neat car.
