If I was a mechanic, oh, the things I would fix on my suburban! I’d fix whatever it is that makes me feel like the top half of the vehicle shifts forward off the frame when I hit the breaks.  I’d fix whatever it is grinding in the front and back tires – probably the breaks! I’d put new rims on that weren’t peeling, and I’d rotate the tires when they needed to be rotated. I’d fix the stupid sensor in the right rear wheel that tells me it can’t read the tire pressure, but it’s been reading it just fine for the last two hours.

I’d change the oil on time. Put new wipers and a new wiper motor on the back window. Put a new bulb in on the main headlights so I could see at night without having to put my brights on all the time. Fix the passenger side mirror that doesn’t move in or out like it’s supposed to do . Repair the switch on the back door so I could open it without using the key fob, and also so I could open it when it won’t open at all with said key fob at 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

I’d also fix both back passenger doors that don’t lock nor unlock unless it is around 0 degrees Fahrenheit. (A person just cannot understand how fundamentally annoying it is to either roll the window down on that side when someone needs in– or crawl across the seats to unlock the door. My arms are too short to just reach back and unlock it. However, this week they are working great. -15 will do that!) I’d fix the back seat warmer that no longer works. Then the sensors on the back bumper so that the back up parking assist would work. (you know it beeps at you if you are too close to a car, or the curb, or a tree planted right by the curb.) I’d fix all the rock chips as well.

I’d fix the dent in the front bumper from when we were moving cows home, (no, I didn’t hit a cow!) Also, the ding on the hood where Bomber (our bucking bull) tried to show me who was boss as we ran his butt out of the pasture. Obviously, I won.  I’d fix the grill that cracks every time I hit a pheasant. And install new headlight covers – or get that fancy cleaner to clean them. They are so cloudy. (Don’t forget the light bulb from above.) I’d replace the side cover on the back seat that won’t stay on and the hitch cover that needs new clips.  I’d solder on the little springy thingy hanging on the back window – probably runs the back window defrost. Also, figure out why my air ride system makes it feel like I’m driving a tank over a rock pile?!?

In reality, I’d need to be an auto mechanic AND a body shop repair person.

 I think I’d leave the sunroof alone. It works perfectly.
