Shop Class: [1/23]

[manofthemullet.livejournal.com]

As the students enter the shop class they'll find that the room has been turned into what appears to be a ghost town.

With multiple versions of Mac's beat up jeep.

"Today kids? We're going to be doing the MacGyver version of car repair."

Today's Assignment:

"Each of these jeeps have the exact same problems. Your job is just to fix *one* of those problems on the car. Unless you're an overachiever who feels the need to get extra credit."

"The situation is that you have been on a camping trip to this ghost town and you just found out that your jeep has one of the following problems:"

1. Cut brake line
2. Blown fuse
3. Crack the in the radiator
4. You lost the keys to the jeep
ETA: You can get into the jeep because there's no top to it. You just can't start it.

Mac points out each of the problems and where they are located for the car engine impaired.

"The list of items you have with you?"
A pack of gum
A ball point pen
A cooler full of food for breakfast, including eggs, bacon, OJ and bread.
Swiss Army Knife
Duct Tape (Duct Tape alone will not be accepted as a solution)

"I know some of you may not have any experience in car repair, so if you want to buddy up with a partner."

Nadia looked over the car and the supplies and settled back to think for a few minutes. She'd done a few car jobs with Cesar in Buenos Aires, and Mac's jeep would have been gone in 30 seconds there, broken bits and all.

She took a look at the radiator. She examined the fuse. She crawled under the jeep and looked up how brake systems work on google followed the brake line to see where the cut was and where the cylinders were. She nodded to herself, crawled back out, and got to work.

She took the ball point pen apart until she had just the outer tube. She glared at the duct tape, then gave in and used it and the pen to complete the brake line. She used a slice of bread as a filter and added the OJ to replace the lost brake fluid. She looked the whole system over again, then climbed into the cab and gently tapped the breaks to test them.

There was a soft *splooshing* sound as the duct tape came loose and the OJ came spilling out of the brake system. Nadia scowled. She hated duct tape.

She examined the system again, and the puddle of dirty OJ on the ground.

She looked at the radiator. She examined the blown fuse.

Then she grabbed the Swiss Army knife, climbed into the cab, hot-wired the car, and ate breakfast.

Sometimes you just had to go with your strengths.

"Looks good Nadia."

Nadia just gives Mac a thumbs up, as her mouth is full of bread and OJ. She's considering trying to build a contraption to cook the eggs and bacon, but it just doesn't seem worth it.
