Happened to me over last winter, we got about 8-10" of snow in a short time. Headed home from work and noticed a late 90's early 2000s caravan with the flashers on. Snow was still falling at a rapid pace, it was dark and viability sucked and her flashers were dim. Ask if she was ok and she said her van just died and stopped where she was.
Grab a flashlight from the work truck and have her pop the hood. Find the serpentine belt off but in good shape, all pulleys ok. A bunch of snow packed in the belt area like she hit a snow bank or something. She tells me I won't be able to fix it and that she has someone coming from a town about an hour away on a nice day. My ratchet didn't fit into the tensioner from the top so I used a long bar and flathead screw driver from the bottom. 5 minutes and a jump start and she was on her way. Funny how some folks just assume others don't know anything and try to be all high and mighty about their friend/family member coming to their rescue. The whole time she was on the phone with her rescuers doubting my abilities. Thought about leaving but there would have been an accident for sure, my truck almost got hit even with the hazards and lights on. I didn't see her until I was within 50 feet

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
