A mechanic had a customer who insisted that his car smelled like a bakery. After a long search, the mechanic found a half - eaten muffin stuck in the heating ducts. The customer had no idea how it got there. This story always makes me laugh when I think about it.
Sure. One funny mechanic story is about a mechanic who accidentally put a car's steering wheel on backwards during a prank on his apprentice. When the apprentice tried to test drive the car, he was so confused and couldn't figure out why the car wasn't turning the way it should.
A customer drove his truck to the mechanic shop. He complained that his truck was shaking violently. After inspection, the mechanic discovered that the customer had put on tires that were completely the wrong size for the vehicle. He had bought them super cheap without realizing they were not for his truck.
There was this mechanic who was working on an old truck. When he opened the hood, a family of squirrels ran out. They had been using the engine compartment as their winter home, with a whole stash of nuts in there. It took him a while to clean up the mess and get the truck running properly.
A mechanic was working on a small plane. He had just greased some parts and was about to test it. But when he started the engine, the grease somehow got onto his face. He looked like a clown with all that grease smeared all over. His colleagues couldn't stop laughing when they saw him.
Sure. One funny car story is about a man who accidentally drove his car into a small pond while trying to park near a lake. He thought he was on the right track but ended up with his car half - submerged. Another is a family road trip where the GPS led them to a dead - end dirt road in the middle of nowhere and they had to backtrack for miles.
Sure. Once I saw a little dog accidentally got into the car wash with a car. It came out all soapy and looking confused but also kind of cute. Everyone at the car wash was laughing.
Sure. One time, a mechanic thought he had fixed a car's engine noise. But when the owner drove off, it made an even weirder noise, like a duck quacking. Turns out he had accidentally knocked a loose part into the fan belt area.
Well, I remember a car trip where we had a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. While we were trying to change the tire, a group of cows from a nearby field came over and just stared at us. One of them even mooed really loudly as if it was criticizing our tire - changing skills. It was hilarious and made a rather annoying situation quite fun.
Sure. Once I rented a car and when I got in, there was a little toy dinosaur on the dashboard. It was left by the previous renter. I decided to keep it there during my whole trip and it felt like I had a little travel buddy.
One jalopnik funny car story could be about a car that had a really strange noise. Every time the driver accelerated, it made a sound like a duck quacking. Turns out a small toy duck had gotten stuck in the engine compartment somehow. It was quite a sight when the mechanic pulled it out.
