 The day was going by so slowly to her. What time did she start work? Nine? Noo it was eight. She had to go to the bank early today. Then she opened her mechanic's shop early to start work on that one car. That VW with the faulty brake line which she is replacing. She looks over at the VW and is glad that she finished that job up. The owner will be over soon to pick it up. Laying on her sliding plank. She pushes herself under the classic Stingray that she is to figure out what the problem is. Her bright shoes and fuzzy leg warmers being the only things visible from under the car. The outside garage door is up. Though she isn't expecting too many visitors. Thankfully she has the air conditioning on even if it is on it's last leg. It still is helping move the air around with the warmth from outside.

It had been a while since he'd delt with his car and needed to do anything but it was time to take the thing in. He sighed and drove to a mechanic his friend told him about. He walked into the shop and looked around. It was annoying having to take his beloved old car in. It wasn't his favorite thing to have to take it in. Most mechanics didn't know how to handle such an old car. He walked in more and saw bright legs poking out from under the car and smiled. "So did the car swallow up a fair maiden?" He grinned softly. "Are you the mechanic or is the mechanic somewhere else?"

Reaching up she checks different things trying to figure out the problem. It is while she is about to start to get to work when she hears someone enter the shop. Lowering the wrench she hears what is a males voice and pushes herself from under the car and sits up on her rolling bench. Looking him over she chuckles." Well I sure as hell would think that the oil on my hands would definitely mean I am the mechanic." Getting up she wipes her hands on a rag and looks over at him again." So what brings you to my shop? I haven't seen you here before."

"Yes I suppose you're right though I didn't see the grease on your hands before when I made the comment." Nico looked her over more and smirked waiting for her to say something. "Well I've got a problem with my car and before I let you touch my car I need to know do you know anything about old classic cars? A lot of mechanics can't handle old cars very well and I'd need to know if you can handle them or not. So how good are you think them?" He didn't want to offend her but figured it was better to cut to the point first.

Harley smirks."Well now you do know. I own this shop. Harley at your service. I'd shake your hand but.. grease." She looks at him as he asks about her ability and scoffs." You think I can't work old cars. Classic cars are what I specialize in hunny. I don't do new cars that often thank god." She goes over to two well taken care of classics." These two are my personal classics. I restored them both and got all the original parts for them. Cost a pretty penny but worth it." She turns and faces him." So what beauty is it that needs my help? And please be aware that some cars parts are harder and more expensive to obtain. If you aren't good with that then find another shop. I'm here to get the job done right and with as much of the original parts as I can. If I can't find something then I will let you know and talk of alternatives of newer parts but if given the chance of a original part I go with that. So with that on the table. You good with those terms or are you gonna go find another shop?"

"Well I suppose that is good to know that you own the shop. I'd hate to offend the owner or anything like that." He grinned and teased her a bit. "It's nice to meet you Harley, I'm Nico. Grease isn't so bad but it is rather difficult to get out of clothes." He shrugged. "I don't know what you can or can't do that's why I asked." He followed her over to the two cars and looked them over. He watched her quietly as he thought. "I've got an old classic thunderbird that needs some checking over. I don't mind paying for the original parts those seem to work better than the new stuff if you can get your hands on it that is." He laughed as he listened to her. She was rather adorable if he had to say so. "Yes I'm good with those terms. I'd shake your hand but you've still got the grease all over it."
He winked and teased her a bit more.

Harley's eyes light up at the mention of a classic thunderbird." Oooh! Where is this beauty? I'd love to take care of her and get her purring like a cat in good condition." She nods." Parts might take me a little bit to get but we will have to see what is ailing her first. Take me to see her won't ya?" She laughs." Yeah. Well maybe another time we can do that handshake. Now come on." She is already walking towards the shop and over to find the car."I'll need you to pop the hood so I can take a look."

Nico watched her eyes light up and chuckled. That seemed to make her really happy and it was pretty cute. "It's parked out front where the customers are supposed to park. Where do you think it would be? Just be gentle with her and it'd be great if you could get her working again." He shrugged. "I'm in no rush I can get a rental car while you look." He nodded. "Yes later." He headed out to where his car was. "You're the mechanic can't you lift the hood up?" He headed to his gorgeous classic car and watched her to see how she'd react to it. "Careful."

Harley chuckles."Hey I was just checking.I've had someone park in the employee spots before. When I used to have an assistant. High school kid who loved cars." She nods." I'm always careful. You have to be when dealing with classics." She goes over and see's the car and lets out a squeal of delight." She's a beauty!" She walks over and lifts the hood up and takes a look. " Mmmm.. Well.." She starts to do a preliminary check and looks over at him again." Oooh! You have most of the original parts. So tell me in detail what is going on with her. Telling me what is going on helps me figure out where the problem is."

Nico grinned over at her. "Alright I suppose that's a good reason to check. That's annoying that anyone would want to park in the employee parking spots if they aren't employees." He grinned and nodded again. "I'm glad you are." He grinned more and chuckled slightly when he saw her reaction. "So she is. I take good care of her." He explained the problems his car had been having going into a lot of details about everything so it could help her as much as possible to be able to fix things. "Yes I do. I don't like using other parts they never work as well."

Harley nods." Yeah. Definitely had a time arguing with that customer." She shakes her head. She nods as she listens to the car and moves to get under the car. Looking and checking things." Well. I think I know what is going on, but.. I would need to find the part. And I don't think it will be easy." She gets out from under the beauty and looks at him." If you would. You can drive her into the shop through the second doors. Gonna keep her inside.Classic's get priority in my shop when it comes to storing for the night. Though I will work on her in spare time on the littler things. But I am gonna have to search for the part."

Nico shrugged his shoulders. "Whatever it will take is fine with me. And don't you mechanics like a good challenge? Wouldn't it be boring if it was all routine?" He grinned and moved to his front door to get in and move the car. "I appreciate that a lot. I would hate to have my car out here at night. Who knows what would happen to her or what people would do to her. I would really hate for her to get worse rather than better." He got into the car and waited to be able to pull her into where the mechanic directed.

Harley chuckles." Of course we do. Though depends on how hard the challenge is." She wipes her hands on the rag that she has in her pocket and nods. " Yeah, I like keeping the classics safe. They have been through years of things. Better to preserve than to let them get looted. Though this area is fairly okay. Low crime." She directs him to where to park and takes a bottle off the counter that has tools and takes a swing. It gets hot outside after all.

Nico grinned at her. "That sounds like the beginnings of an excuse. Enjoy the challenge and show you can do it." He teased her and smiled. He watched her wipe her hands with the rag and looked around for a bit. "You know I like the classics seeing as I am bringing you an old classic to fix. and preserving them is important too. Keep them in good condition so they can continue to run. You're preaching to the choir on that one." He smiled. "Low crime is good." He parked where she motioned and walked over to her.

Harley looks at him and laughs." Oh hunny, I don't make excuses. I'll enjoy the challenge.. And curse all at the same time. " She grins and sticks her tongue out." Yeah but come on. Let me preach. It's like what I do.. It's my forte." She laughs and moves to pick up her water bottle and takes a swing of it and nods. " Yeah low crime is great. Means better service. More customers." She looks at the car again." Looking good. So.. Here.. Lets go to the office and you can help me fill out the paper work.. Like how to reach you yada yada yada. The boring stuff."
