My car didn't start, so I couldn't take her out on the date. After calling her and apologizing profusely I wandered back out to my car to try to figure out what was wrong with it. Now it took a while to open the hood, but once I did, I looked at my car engine for the first time in my life. I remember watching an old movie where there was a gas station attendant who really came out and pumped the gas into the car. He also checked the oil by pulling out some long stick of a thing, wiping it off, pushing it back down into the engine and then pulling it out again.
After a bit of exploration I found something that pulled out of my engine, and the black gunk at the end of it seemed like what my impression of what oil should look like, so I wiped it off, pushed it back into the engine and then pulled in out again. Yeah there was oil on the end, so I figured the oil was okay. I did notice a few pretty icons on some different caps and stuff, so I spotted a place to put the oil if I ever needed oil. I then slammed down the hood and tried to start the car again.
Well it didn't start, so I was back where I started. I called my date again and explained that I worked on the car and couldn't get it working. She said she didn't know I could work on cars and I said yeah sometimes I work on cars. I guess I should have been truthful and said once instead of sometimes. Either way, I was stuck and it looked like I wasn't going to do a thing. It looked like nothing was going to happen the whole damn evening.
