Mechanics on duty

Alan and George were kind enough to perform a vehicle inspection for me on the Ranger. 

Alan: Every inspection must include a thorough tire-kicking.


Alan: Suspension system seems to be in working order. Surprising given the way she drives this thing.



Alan: Tailgate appears to be stuck.


George: How in the heck do you pop this hood? 


George: Maybe there's a secret switch hidden up here.


George: Hey, Alan, come over here and see if you can figure this out.


Alan: Beats the hell out of me. Maybe we should ask the shop steward?


Lucy: I could open it but I don't want to ruin my manicure.


Alan: Your vehicle is safe to drive, ma'am. That will be $100. We accept cash, credit cards, or carrots.

    They are always there for you, doing whatever it takes to make the ranch run like a fine tuned machine. Help like that is really hard to find nowadays! LOL

    Don't you wish car inspections were that easy - you don't even have to leave your property! :)

    Cute! Reminds me of the first time we took our ATV into the pasture and how 'the boys' sized up this new critter. I got some cute pictures of it and makes me smile everytime. I needed this, thank you!

    They just wanted to make sure Moma would be safe when she took the green monster out...

    If they could turn the key, you'd be in trouble.

    Why do I have the feeling the Ranger would be in a million pieces if they had their way? They are so curious! And adorable as always. :)

    Making my living in retail sales, as I do, I'd recognize a tire kicker anywhere. *grin*

    How nice of the boys to provide such a valuable service. I'm thinking you don't leave them out there unattended with the Ranger for too long. The tricksters might runaway with the hubcaps and tire valves! lol

    A hundred bucks? Sounds like my mechanic. If he just walks in the garage it's $100.

    Still, your team looks pretty capable.

    :)
