Me and C-Purv spent the day in an auto-mechanics world where we learned their beautiful sayings and dabbled in their rich culture.
Tire rolling is their most celebrated art and sport. Not everyone is aloud to compete, but the story goes if you are challenged to roll a tire; you must compete or be forced to wear used paper funnels on your elbows all day.
Although C-Purv's daring ice jump seen below did gain him some notoriety in the awards ceremony,
unfortunately he did not beat Chuck Jones who bravely rolled a tractor trailer tire across the interstate.

One might think this is just a disgusting water filled ashtray. I beg to differ.
In order for an auto-mechanic to earn his right of patch; or his name patch on his jumpsuit, He must pile one hundred and twenty cigarette butts in an ashtray to form a spiritual tobacco oasis. The number 120 is symbolic of the number of ball bearings in a standard automobile.
If any cigarette butts fall onto the pavement they are subjected to an evening of ridicule and must start the whole ceremony all over again.
It looks like someone is about to get their patch! Just fantastic!
