Selena copied down all the notes dutifully. She looked up and raised her hand. "There are the auto mechanics and transmission mechanics," Selena said. She thoght that was the right one. It was either that or she mixed it up with the other book.

Vashti again set to work writing down all the jobs on the board. Her hand was starting to cramp a bit from all the writing, but she wasn't going to complain. It really wasn't that much writing; she was just writing really quickly. After setting her quill down, she stretched her fingers and hand a bit, raising her other hand to answer the question. "There are people who need to fix the breaks and things like that on a car."

Keeley hurriedly scribbled down all the jobs on the board. There was a loooot! When she was fiinally done, she pondered the question for a bit. Hmm..... umm.... uhh.... she really hadn't had much to do with cars in Germany. But in New York, there were cab drivers. Did they work on cars? Not nescisarily. Umm.... who were those people that made cars look cool? "Umm... the people that design cars? The uh... I don't know. But they make new models and stuff."

"I think there are people that change the oil...or whatever in the... car. I forgot what they were called..." she said after quickly lowering her hand. Okay so she didn't memorize everything in her book, but at least, that's what it said. And her book was never wrong so far!! Especially what the machine thing was called. A car! Not a carp. Mwaha!

"Does a tire specialist count?" Rafe said as his hand bolted to the air. "The make sure the wheels work fine...like to have traction so the automobile doesn't slide and stuff in rain or snow?" Rafe raised an eyebrow. He had no idea if what he was saying made any sense.

Destiny only knew how to pretend to be a muggle car, she didn't know anything else about them! "Someone can specialize in car windows..I guess." she said raising her hand.
To her, it was a good guess.

The place where the smoke coming out at the back. The people who would fix that." Kay said not even sure if they did fix that. Cars smelled bad to her.

Abby scribbled down the list that the professor had put up on the board. As she did so, she listened to his next question. Cars, huh? She tried to think of something that the others hadn't mentioned yet. Clearly, there were a ton of muggle repair persons. But Abby couldn't help drawing a bit of a blank. Raising her hand slightly, she said, "Sir, there are muggles who work on seat belt replacements," she said. Yeah, it was a tiny part of a car. But still very important all the same.

"Maybe a bit of tangent, but in Muggle Car racing, they have Pit crews, they are like a team of Mechanics who change tyres, fill fuel tanks and ensure the engine is running efficiently." Patroclus thought it maybe a stretch, but most of the other uses of Mechanics had already be said.

Cadence decided to raise her hand when she didn't hear her answer said aloud. "Professor, body shop specialists. They repair detents in cars, repaint them if they're scratches... those sort of things," she said with a smile as she continued taking her notes.

"Like....if someone's car had broken down on the road these people would come and see if they could fix the car. I think they had companies called like the AA or something." Which sounded funny to Brody because what did an A have to do with a car?
