Family

Momma with her children

My vehicle was on it's last leg and a mechanic said he would look at it for me. My last boyfriend spoke very highly of his work and I was sick and tired of getting cheated at inspection from the other mechanics I had been to previously. The first year I moved here, the first mechanic said "$300 Bucks" for inspection. I didn't think twice about his professional opinion and I had to beg my mom to help me. He said he put on a new muffler. The next year I went back to him and he said "$300 Bucks" and something felt off immediately so I went to a different place and this guy was just as shady as the last, he said "$300 Bucks" for a new emergency break and guess what, it didn't work before he "worked" on it and it still doesn't now. Feels exactly the same even though he showed me rusted breaks from another he had lying around. This mechanic used my car to get cigaretts too. He asked me if he could run to the gas station with my car and I was too shocked to be offended at the time.

So this mechanic works with not only his father but also his son. I had met his father earlier asking for help with my sewing machine strike plate. He said he couldn't help me but showed me this 20 foot snake he used to have that died. A Boa and I dropped of a picture the Friday before NYE 2021. Turns out my mechanic's father's mother died. I had no idea. So I tried to make elephants for them because when they lost her it seemed to rock the foundation of the family.

I keep saying "my mechanic" but he never did any work for me and let my car sit for months. Took me a bunch of courage to drop off this painting. He said his father put my snake drawing on his wall, I've never made it to anyone's wall before. I accidently got overly excited on the phone after learning that his father not only liked what I made but he wanted to keep it. I have no idea if they got this card I sent with the elephants. I dropped it off under the office door.
