He finished eating and went out to the garage and got in his car. He pulled out the driveway and drove off down the street. "Wow this engine sounds great" he said driving down the street. He pulled up to a red light and stop Tony pulls up beside him in his 57 Chevy Bel air. "You got skills with your hands army boy but do you got skills behind the wheel of a car" he asked as he revs his engine. Duke didn't pay him any attention and revved his engine twice.

They sat and talked until a customer came in need car repairs on her truck. "Can we help you ma'am" they said as they stood. The lady told the her truck was having some problems with the engine. Duke checked it and her engine wouldn't start up right away. She went in the office with Duke as he wrote her a estimate on her truck. She signed it and he signed it as the person who was working on it. She called a cab and left then Duke pulled the truck in the garage. He started working on it after a few minutes he had the engine out and on the work bench working on it. An couple of hours later he finished working on and put it back in the truck.
