At Rarick’s Auto Repair shop, a regular would always hear an odd announcement over the intercom after dropping off his car for service: ‘And don’t forget to check your tires—we’ve been known to hide little surprises there!’ One day, a delivery driver dropped off his truck and heard the familiar message.

Everyone laughed it off, but from then on, everyone made sure their tires were perfectly inflated before visiting Rarick's.

Soon enough, everyone in town started bringing their cars to Rarick’s—even though they had no idea why things worked better there. One day, an old neighbor stopped by with his rusty truck. He asked, ‘What’s your secret?’ The mechanic grinned and replied, ‘Just hold onto that little dinosaur keychain.’ And ever since then, people joked that maybe dinosaurs knew more about engines than anyone else.
