So yesterday my sister Nina and I brought Maggie Mae( My Mazda 3) to her Gynecologist appointment.....i.e.- the mechanic at the local garage.
Well, we was there for about 30 minutes total. The mechanic went up under her front end. Then under her rear end. Back and forth a couple of times making these sounds like..."hmmmm"....."huh" .... and "Ahhh, I see" and such.....A very thorough examination indeed.
I started giggling then turned to my sister and mumbled- "See? Gynecologist- that's the same things mine says while he's/she's doing an exam."
My sister literally strangled on her mouthful of tea and said "I'm going to stand over there next to the door- you are being BAD!"
And she did. She was still laughing tho.
So, then the mechanic asked to drive it around the block and I handed him the keys. He did, then parked it and repeated the process. Then he asked his boss to take a test drive. He did then the boss parked Maggie and they conferred about 15 seconds and then told us exactly what we needed to order. Once the parts arrive my sister will call him and he will set up an appointment for "surgery".
We went directly to the O'Reilly's Auto Parts store, ordered them and they should arrive today.
So very likely Maggie will have shiny new parts within the week.
And I'll be able to drive like a normal person instead of an 85 year old senior citizen.
I may get the discount- but I'm still a young driver in my mind.

Inquiring minds really want to know if the gynecologist asks to take 'er out for a spin during the exam, and if the gynecologist asks if the boss can take 'er out for a spin too.
... and, oh yeah... what parts were ordered?
LOL- Yes- they both had a go at going around the block with her- the older Doc took WAY less time than the younger Doc tho- final result - Front Main Struts only as opposed to the whole front end assembly I thought it would be. So....Yay!!
Next on the agenda will be the brakes, and a new headlight from the before I got her Incident. In case you all ever get to upstate South Carolina- The deer here are suicidal- twilight, around 11pm and just as dawn breaks are their trigger times. And just hibernate and don't go ANYWHERE during Rutting Season.
Wait- that was for Maggie- not MY Gynecologist. ROTFLMBO..... I don't think I've ever had one I'd even consider anyway- so no great loss there, eh?
I'm quite familiar with deer. We have some of the largest deer in the country, and yeah, they're a tad reckless in their regard for life.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! I really want to know what you consider your struts and your front end assembly!! Maybe struts = legs and front end assembly includes your unmentionable lady parts?!?
Front and rear end assembly would be arms and legs. Engine and transmission would be major internal organs. Gas tank would be stomach. Exhaust would be... well.... you know. And I think we ALL know about the headlights- and it;s defo not the eyes (so why are all the ladies putting those gawd awful eyelashes on them now??). And I'm( or the Driver-) is the BRAIN of the system. (See why there are so many accidents now- look at the brains of the autos out there....) smhl......
I've been to your neck of the woods a couple of times and you are right- your deer are huge!! I think the general deer motto is "YOLO- so GO for it!"
Maggie is scheduled for surgery in Tuesday!!!!
