I hope everyone had a satisfactory Halloween. It's never been a holiday I celebrated beyond the age of fifteen, but people certainly seemed like they were getting into character.

That is the phrase, isn't it? Although I never understood the lure of some costumes. Although I have to commend you, City, for not having a someone dress up as a werewolf where the impressionables could see it. ~~And myself.~~

At any rate. I've examined the Garage from tip to bottom, and decided that it's in fine condition, if a little bit dusty. Is anyone looking for a job? I would prefer you at least know the difference between a diesel engine and a gas turbine engine, but if I have to teach you, I suppose it's entirely possible.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Wow. I don't got much of a formal education on it but I'm pretty good with my hands.

Are you familiar with cars?

Sure, wind ups to hot rods to that new Dodge Viper. I do motorcycles too.

[A pause as she considers this.]

Are you afraid of expensive cars?

Can't afford'em, that's all.

Good.

Come in tomorrow, and we'll see how you fare.

Am I preparing for a test?

Do you want to be tested?

I just want to make sure that if I leave you alone with a wrench and my Porsche, I won't have to kill you when I get back.

With a Porsche? Yeah that's a good idea.

And a Jaguar, and an assortment of bikes.

Mostly it will be cleaning up the rest of the garage, for a few days.

Grunt work ain't nothin' I ain't ever done before.

I can at least promise you that it won't be you alone doing it.

I prefer to have a hand in everything going on in my workshops.

So where's your shop?

Do you know where the Coliseum is?

Been there, yep.

I'll meet you there.
