Means your dumb American car was trying to tell you it wasn’t feeling right for awhile now I should have reminded you again last week What kind of noise are we talking about?
Take my car tomorrow babe I don’t want you driving up the coast with your car like that I’ll take a lyft to work instead And if you don’t end up at a meeting you can pick me up If you want
Yeah of course I’m sure It’ll cost us more for you to Lyft to Malibu than it does for me to go to work And then I get to see you like 45 minutes earlier in the evening which sounds amazing actually Because that’s how pathetic I am
yeah if i do end up having to go it'll be for lunch so i can definitely pick you up after work we could get dinner
[ as promised, he sends a video of him turning the ignition over in the parking deck. richie drives a muscle car so it's always loud to begin with, but when the initial roar levels out there's a ticking noise from under the hood. his hand can be seen tapping the dash in rhythm with the noise for a second, then the feed pans to the dash, where no extra warning lights have gone on other than the check engine light. ]
[ Despite any protestations he might have been able to conjure up, Eddie’s mechanically minded brain engages watching the video, pausing and rewinding and turning up the volume a couple of times even though he arrives at his conclusion in under ten seconds. He closes the one or two browser tabs he’d googled of the car’s make and model on his work computer. ]
You’re in luck I think your baby’s just suffering from a minor case of a cold And by that I mean I’m pretty sure it’s just a problem with the battery The gauge is all fucked up but it’s no big deal it’s an easy fix I’ll take a look when I get home
The reality is that you should probably just call AAA to come and check it out for you while you’re just hanging out at home I’m just being selfish because I haven't fucked around with a car in awhile and I miss it I love you dearly
If you don’t mind letting me tinker around a little bit I don’t think it’ll take me too long to get it going again And if I don’t fix it we just call AAA and go from there
Bored as hell today Half the team is out on site andI’m alone with my thumb up my ass until someone needs to be told what to do Typical
[ after a second there's a selfie! richie in the elevator on his way back towards the condo and winking dryly at the camera. he's in his leather jacket, band tee underneath that eddie's stolen a few times. ]
ballpark guess how many times have we sloppy made out in here
God you're so fucking handsome I love the way you wear that jacket Are you asking me to pretend to have counted the number of times we’ve gotten too handsy in that elevator Cause it’s a lot Like at least 20 We can do better than that
