All the signs were there. Her perpetual PMS. Lack of communication, intimacy. The whole 9 yards.
Back up. Let me start earlier. She has been working a lot of evening shifts lately. Being a tree hugging environmentalist she carpools with this co-worker of hers. I have met that guy before. Looked like a limp wristed fairy to me, so I didn’t really mind. I would rather have someone with her in case she has any car trouble, but it seems that they have become a little bit more than friends. You know the scenario, the phone calls that hangup, she starts wearing nice clothes to work, talking about him all the time, etc. I don’t know what to think. If I’m out in the garage when she gets home (usually after midnight) he just drops her off and leaves, but if the lights are off in the garage and I’m in the house (they think I’m sleeping) they sit out in the car for like twenty minutes. I asked her once what they were doing, she said “just talking”…whatever.
So last night I decided that I’m going to see what really goes on out there. I left the garage door open, but turned all the lights out. About the time she usually gets home, I went out and hid behind my car in the garage. In a few minutes, his car pulls into my driveway, and I’m hiding behind my car. What I saw next was a nightmare before my very own eyes. I noticed the engine seemed to be leaking a little oil :O. Is it something I can repair myself or do I have to take it back to the dealer?
