This story is a sequel to Car Wash
Few words in the English language are as terrifying as 'You're a car guy, right?' Minty's Mustang II is on the fritz and she wants an 'expert' opinion. If she wanted that, she really should've called an expert. Instead, she's stuck with me.
Special thanks to Admiral Biscuit for pre-reading!
Wait. Did you just restore all the damage?
What's so scary about that?

I really hope not, but that depends on if the genie considers the engine to be part of the interior. It's Minty's car (and her luck), so that's left to the reader's interpretation. So choose the happy ending, or the 'Oh Minty, Minty, Minty' ending.
...But even in the worst case scenario, there's a perfectly good engine sitting next to the car. We just need to get both the car and the engine to a garage, and all will be well.

It's always followed by someone trying to get mechanical advice. People automatically assume you can miraculously diagnose (and repair!) their car. I, for one, most definitely cannot. My standard response is 'Is the check engine light on?' and if the answer is 'yes' I then respond with Minty's line about lifting the hood to check if the engine is still there.
Oh, Minty. Never change.
A shame Discord in humanworld fics aren't quite as common.
But I like the ones where he's the art teacher or insane janitor or philosophy teacher at Canterlot High.
Hehehe
"Hello. We'd like to talk to you about your extended car warranty."
"AAAARRRRGGGHH!!!"
So…bit of a confession…I actually like the mustang II 😂
Wait this isn't an Admiral Biscuit story
Now I'm curious. Is it a human-ish genie or a ponified one?
Genie in a car, well then.

Me too! They're finally starting to get some appreciation.

I'm wearing an 'Admiral Biscuit Since 1977' t-shirt right now. Does that count?
11225950
She never will. At least not as long as I'm writing her.
11226387
Ponified for sure. I wouldn't expect a real genie on Earth. But Equestria? Anything goes!

I'm a genie in a car (In a car, baby)

My cousin has one. It’s a ‘74 Mach 1 with a foxbody 302

Perhaps in a way, we are all the biscuit
- Equestria Girls
- Romance
- Comedy
- Random
Equestria, where the friendship is magic and the romance is probably also even more magical. Well, usually. Sometimes, not so much.11227082
Nice! Any pics?

Unfortunately no. It always stays in storage
So I’m not the only mechanically-inept car enthusiast on the planet…

Indeed! My cars are maintained at regular service intervals - just not by me, personally. I like my cars to run, which is why I take them to garages.
