A career mechanic, trained under my father, and his father before him. You see, Nameth Auto Shop has been in the family for ages. We weren't like those other places. It was our legacy and pride. |
'''WHAT DO YOU STILL CLING TO?''' I sure do miss a good football game. Shoot! I'd even watch basketball if there was a good match on. These days, seems no such possibility. Team owners seemed to have dried up. | '''WHAT DO YOU STILL CLING TO?''' I sure do miss a good football game. Shoot! I'd even watch basketball if there was a good match on.

That spot o' grease you see there? That's a badge of honor. I'm not ashamed of it.

Ever since that time when the weird stuff went down, I could heat metal just by lookin' at it. Could make flame spontaneously flare up from a pool of oil or gas. Came in mighty handy when there ain't no welder's torch on hand. Heard some people call it pyro- pyro-kintic something or other. |
