Yep.
*Luke brought over one of several toolboxes and went to work loosening the hinges. He did so carefully, working with Bard, so that they didn't scrape up the car any further.*
*Once that was done, he got a solid grip on the hood and looked at Bard.* Okay, let's lift this off. You got it? Okay. One, two... *strain* Three.
*They walked awkwardly with the hood. Luke smirked.* Four .... *They set it down on a cloth spread Bard had already had the decency to put in place.*
*Luke let out a 'whew' and walked back.* Tell you what. It looked a whole lot lighter covering that engine.

And it's a whole lot lighter than that engine too, but at least we don't have to pick that one up with our bare hands.
*he pulls a handkerchief from his pocket and mops his brow* You know, it's too damned hot to do this. We're a couple of idiots.

Pssh, speak for yourself gramp--
*Luke looks outside to where a cool breeze blows past the Sycamores in Bard's yard. He shakes some sweat from his forehead.*
*clears throat, lifts voice* Yep. Yeah. Yeah, we are.
*The Jag is put into drive. With some effort, Bard and Luke push the Jag out into the driveway.*
*Once it was parked, Luke turned to Bard.* I call driver for the cherry picker.

*Bard gives him a look, sighs, and smirks* What the heck? it's not lik you can do any more damage than you already have.
First things first though. Let's clean up what's left of the hoses and get that carburetor off.

Any more damage than I already have...
*Luke runs back and grabs a pair of goggles and calls back.* I wasn't the one who took it out for a spin, crash-landed it into the Brink, and expected to drive it away, man.

*Bard peers into the car eyeing the disintegrated hoses with dismay. This is going to be a mess*
No, you were the one that started the car without my permission and compounded the situation by setting it on fire.

*Luke gets on the bed-roll and wheels himself underneath the car.*
Technically, the motor oil started the fire...

Technically, my boot is going to connect with your butt if you keep talking.

*It was probably good Bard couldn't see Luke's grin. He disconnected hoses from underneath the car, not being particularly careful, given how they basically fell apart in his fingers.*
*small laugh* Yee-eeah. Alright. C'mon, you don't really want to start that again.

*Bard works from the top, removing the hoses and belts that he can see. All of it is pretty much useless, except for the metal connectors which he saves and places in plastic bags for later use*

*Luke slips into his own little world as he works, cleanly and methodically. When he's satisfied that he's finished with the hoses, he wheels himself out and jumps to his feet.*
Hey, I'm gonna get a pan and get that coolant out of there.

*Bard nods, concentrating on cleaning up the mess left by the disintegrated hoses*
I've got one over in the corner by the tool rack.

*Luke finds it without a problem. He goes through the steps, fairly intent, but enjoying himself. He removes the radiator cap, places the catch basin below the radiator drain, removes the radiator drain plug, and let the radiator drain... He did the same with the engine block.*
Nasty s**t. *from underneath the car* Hey, what smells worse than coolant that's been sittin in an engine block for four months?
*When Bard doesn't have an answer, Luke grins and says.* Absolutely nothing.

*snickers from underneath the car* Hey! I admit - I had my part in that, but no way am I responsible for the collective stench that is the guy's locker room. That was a group effort.
