"I need a cigarette and a stiff double of scotch" Eli grunted from underneath the car. "Nearly all of these damned bolts have rusted, I'm gonna need to cop them if I'm going to replace the drive train."
He pushed himself out from underneath with a grunt, standing and cracking his back. His hands caked black with congealed oil and the dirt from years of mud kicked against the under body of the car.
"I'm going outside for that cigarette. the scotch will have to wait though. If you need me, come find me."
With that Eli was exiting the garage through the back door onto the grounds. He fumbled around for a second until he could get his pack out and extract a cigarette. He lit it and crushed the menthol pack in the filter. Enjoying the cool burst in his chest.
"That old clunker..." he muttered under his breathe, exhaling a stream of smoke.
