    Talking Missing Engine Mystery

    The other day I took my car to have it smogged. I had to take it to a smog only station, but that's a different story. The guy drove my car into the bay so I was watching him very closely. After he pulled it in, he popped the front compartment hatch, got out and opened it. Looked around and closed it. I thought that was a little strange. He then proceeds to open the trunk, walked to the rear of the car and opened the lid. Again, he had a strange look on his face. Then I realized that he couldn't find the engine. I couldn't keep from laughing when I walked into the bay and asked him if he was looking for the engine. He looked a little sheepish and admitted that was the problem. I pointed to the engine...I don't have an engine cover! I guess he thought that was part of the air conditioning or something. Funny experience.

    It would be great to make a huge jack-in-the-box to pop up out of the trunk and hood when they were opened. Even better if the mouth would move and say...vroom vrooom

    That little thing couldn't possibly be the engine in such a fine looking car!

    Whenever they open the front hood on my car I tell them it a hybrid.
