Not my idea below, but finny enough to re-post
Dear Sheila,
Please send pictures of yourself, the 19 year old and the car.
Realize that the internal combustion engine needs to complete the following cycles: intake, compression, combustion and exhaust.
AKA... Suck, Squeeze, Bang and Blow.
Your husband was not having an affair, he was researching your car issues. He should be commended for going above and beyond to help you get to work.
I hope this helps,
John
