Or picking them up off a bumper of another car, every night keys get lost somewhere...

We bought a car yesterday (surprise surprise) and it comes with tonnes of spare parts, we were going through some of the boxes, the lady had sold another car earlier and we found some not new and not perfect parts of the other car, she could not understand why she should call the guy that bought the first car (or advertise these pieces separately), until I explained in girl talk why someone would treasure these bits

Many moons ago my sister went to college to learm to b a mechanic - not because she loved cars (she doesn't even drive ) but she thought it would be a great way to pick up random greasy men
