"Did that really just happen?"

Well we had an interesting night!!!  This was written by my friend Joanna.....

Jess picked me up and we go over to Nicoles for a little while. Around 9PM we were headed home. As we were driving down the road, I notice a car that has stopped in the middle of the street and turned its lights off. I kind of chuckle and a say, "Ha, that car just........" I stop because I realized that "that car" was MY car!!!!!!!!! Sure enough, we get right past it and Jess stops. Of course its my car!!! E's seat in the back, crunched trunk, the whole nine yards!!! The mechanic has taken MY car out for a joy ride at 9PM!!!!!! Again, baffled. Now, I can understand taking the car *during business hours* to check on things while driving. This test drive would of course take place *around the place of business.* The mechanics shop is in Woburn which is about 20 minutes away from where we currently were. Not cool dude, not cool. So, Jess backs up just a little bit and asks the guy what he's doing. The conversation went a little like this. 

Jess - Hey, what are you doing?

Guy - *no response*

Jess - Hello, what are you doing?

Guy - *dear in head lights look*

Jess and Me - Excuse me, what are you doing?!?!!

Guy - Oh um..hi. I'm the mechanic. 

*Jess looks at me. I'm trying to figure out what is going on.*

Jess - Ok, well why are you driving her car?? That's her *pointing at me* car!!

Guy - Oh, yes yes. Hi!! I'm the mechanic. Hi!! *Waving at me as if he knows me. I've never met this guy....*

*By this point, I'm a bit nervous because I have no idea what's going on. I have E in my lap, its 9PM, a strange guy is driving MY car, and he's not giving me a reason to really trust him.* 

Jess - Ok, well that's great but maybe you need to take the car back to where you are working on it. 

*I'm a bit scared as to how this could play out. Two girls yelling at this guy who's driving MY car. I just don't know what to do.*

Me - That's my car dude. I don't know what you're doing. Let's just go Jess. I don't know what to do......

As we drive away, I'm trying to wrap my brain around WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!?!!!!! I'm sure you're wondering why we didn't just get the car back from him then. We were two girls and a baby on a dark street trying to not argue, but certainly arguing, with this local Grenadian. I was scared and didn't think getting in the guys face was probably my smartest move. If I did not have E with me, I would have certainly jumped out of the car and demanded for my keys since *obviously* he's fixed the car. We get home and Matt immediately calls Musa to tell him the situation. I guess Musa calls the mechanic because we got our car back yesterday. Who knows if it's actually fixed tho!!! I'm sure praying that it is. We will DEFINITELY NOT be taking our car back to that guy!!!


Hahaha, (Jessica here) oh my goodness! I think we were both just in shock we didnt know what to do!!! I wanted to just follow the guy back to wherever he was planning to go! But by the time I dropped Joanna and baby off he was gone (as I expected)....  Well as she said she got her car back the next day, so thats better than the alternative :)  Yet another adventure and memory from Grenada!!
