So a friend of mine recently had some work done in the engine compartment of her car. Apparently, the mechanic neglected to fully reattach the interior plastic wheel well of my friend’s Honda Fit when putting things back together. So tonight, in the dark and by herself, my friend happens to be driving a few miles from my house when she suddenly hears a hell of a racket coming from the front area of her car. She pulls over to see what happened and, as you might be able to guess, the not-fully-attached wheel well dropped down, was caught by the front tire, and then ripped half off with the other half now dragging on the road. Being that she was about 25 miles from her place, I got the call to see if I could help.
My friend knows I like knives and she said to bring one. I grabbed my trusty Ratweiler hoping it would do the job. And boy did it ever. It was very tight quarters between the front wheel and the bodywork. In fact I could not really get my big hand in there at all. But I did get the Ratweiler in there and it was just the right length to do the job. Sharp, narrow, and long, that Honda Fit plastic wheel well didn’t stand a chance against the Rat. Now the only question is whether the mechanic will stand a chance against the customer come Monday morning. I know who I’m betting on.
