A moment of silence for Tower Mechanics

I got an e-mail from Melissa one of my cape cod peeps. She sent us a story about the mechanic that we all used to take our cars to on Cape. Unfortunatly there was a fire early last week and there was significant damage.

We were all very sad to hear about the fire. The people who worked there were always so nice to us and they did wonderful work with our cars. Since we were poor mo-f-ers, and made $100 dollars a week, they were very generous and gave us very reasonable prices. They treated Quita very well....may she rest in peace.

OK now to the funny. Kate (Bumba) my oh so loved cape roomie who slept on top of me everynight (bunk beds) reminded us of an example of tower mechanic dedication. Bumba's car battery in her car died a lot and it made Bumba very very angry and sad. She finally sucked it up thinking she needed a new car battery for the 2nd time and took her car to Tower. The nice mechanic man did his once over and asked Bumba all very standerd questions. He then proceeded to get in Bumba's trunk, close it and had her turn the car off. Once this was done she let him out and he proceeded to tell Bumba she did not need a new battery. WOOHOOOO!! They just had to tweek her trunk light so it wouldn't stay on when she closed it. Hence the battery dying so much. BRILLIANT.

I now have a new standerd for my mechanics. Are you willing to shut yourself in my trunk to find out whats wrong with my car? No? Sorry, I won't be needing your service, i will be going elsewhere. A moment of silence for Tower mechanics. Your dedication will be missed. :)
