Mythbusting, Tuesday, 8/4

[tyler_gone]

Class met in the Danger Shop today, and Tyler was notably subdued. He didn't feel right but was trying to hold it together enough to teach.

"Car myths," he said, once the class was gathered near a parking lot of simulated vehicles. "Sugar or bleach in the gas tank will kill the engine, a potato in the tail pipe will blow up the car, mothballs in the fuel tank make a car run better, a penny in the carburetor ruins the engine, an egg will fix a crack in the radiator. You've probably heard stuff like that -- the ones of you from worlds with cars, anyhow."

"Today, we're checking them out. 'Additives' " -- finger quotes on that word -- "are over on the table, and every pair of you gets a fake car to screw around with. If you're going to try to blow it up, handwavily let me know so I can get up the shields. If you don't know how to drive, pair up with someone who does. I'm passing out a diagram of a car's engine that should get you started."

"Questions?"

"It's really not," Sam assured him. "You could always try to learn too. It wouldn't kill you, probably."

Chuck groaned. "I am not sitting through those classes."

The boredom of that may very well kill him.

"I didn't mean the classes. I meant have someone teach you, one-on-one," Sam said.

Chuck eyed Sam. "And who would I do that with?"

"I'd offer, but if I'm going to be putting my life in your hands, you're paying me for the lessons," Sam said, laughing softly.

"I'd gladly pay you," Chuck said, smirking. He did not point out that money wouldn't do him any good if Chuck killed them both. "But I wasn't aware you even had a car."

"My dad has a car," Sam said. "Dean would kill me if I touched the Impala."

"I don't want to touch the Impala," Chuck said. "She was mean."

"Why, because she would only have sex with Dean and not you?" Sam asked.

"No, because she lectured me about hurting the two of you," Chuck said.

Re: Play with Cars [8/4]

"Really?" Sam asked, smiling. "You haven't hurt me in a good long while, if it makes you feel any better."

Chuck smirked. "Yeah, well, I've been putting in an effort not to do that."

"That's the good person inside you trying to get out," Sam said with a nod.
