Didn’t Play Much Hot Wheels As A Child

A driver has his car in the shop and tells me:

Customer: “My engine is overheating.”

I check the engine and see that everything is just fine.

Me: “Why do you think it’s overheating?”

Customer: “It burned my hand when I was touching it.”

Me: “Running engines will always be too hot to touch just from their regular functions. Don’t touch a running engine. That doesn’t mean it’s overheating.”

Customer: “Well, I don’t like it. Can you change the engine?”

Me: “Change… the engine? For one that won’t get hot?”

Customer: “Yeah. Can you put one of those Tesla things inside it? I heard those are good? If you can do that for under two hundred dollars then let’s get started!”

I’ve never wanted to confiscate a car and driver’s license more than with this customer…
