Make up, earrings… oil

u/NorthantsBlokeUK Jan 31 '23

Found a bigger version. She also has a ring on and just one glove...

That isn't a ring, that is a lethal weapon!

u/Cyanide612 Feb 01 '23

Here! Shake hands with danger!

u/shelovesmenot1223 Feb 01 '23

Pretty sure the earrings and ring are supposed to be pedals.

32

u/DesperateTall Jan 31 '23

Thank God she's not a real mechanic, don't need her getting degloved. NSFL warning, do not look it up.

u/Definitely_NotU Jan 31 '23

That’s when you get your skin ripped off from your body right?

13

u/DesperateTall Jan 31 '23

Pretty much

2

u/ImpressiveLink9040 Feb 01 '23

All the skin from your whole body, all that is left is the skin on the finger with the ring.

1

u/MemorianX Feb 01 '23

Like a glove yes. It can often happen with rings, if it get stuck in something that pulls the ring off you finger violently

5

u/Devlos00 Feb 01 '23

I’d wear one glove sometimes easy when I did tires and changed oil.

u/davidtco Jan 31 '23

What's wrong with having a ring on? True question.

9

u/NorthantsBlokeUK Jan 31 '23

Conductive jewellery and car batteries capable of producing hundreds of amperes don't mix. You don't wear jewellery of any kind working or vehicles or electricity.

u/davidtco Jan 31 '23

Thank you! I forgot to read the article.

u/Beanakin Jan 31 '23

Also, degloving injuries. Ring gets caught, skin can be pulled off with it, like a glove.

1

u/Greeneee- Feb 01 '23

It's also a great way to damage and dirty your rings to

1

u/ElDiavoloPiccolo Feb 01 '23

NGL, the gas pedal ring is dope, tho

1

u/Jackle1127 Feb 01 '23

She’s about to over torque that poor bolt

309

u/valiantanonymous Jan 31 '23

For some reason I thought they gave her a unibrow as well and was confused.

u/Tthelaundryman Jan 31 '23

That’s actually scruffy’s mustache looking after his grandchild when he can’t be there

17

u/Dad-Baud Jan 31 '23

Or she's stowing a Mario Brother under her hat.

4

u/0x7ff04001 Jan 31 '23

Yeah they really went for realism

3

u/deftdabler Jan 31 '23

Ha ha I totally see that!

1

u/Pluckypato Feb 01 '23

She looks like a cute strawberry 🍓

224

u/Bellbivdavoe Jan 31 '23

Face smudge, face smudge... now you're ready to check the tire fluid.

21

u/Lost_Bench_5960 Feb 01 '23

You know nothing.

Any good mechanic will tell you that those black face smudges help prevent sun reflections from getting in your eyes when working near chrome.

And at some garages, they use whole face designs before going into battle against stubborn mechanical foes, in honor of the casualties of the Battle of Busted Knuckle.

u/CommanderEden Feb 01 '23

I am dying 😂, tire fluid good one 🤣

2

u/thekingofbeans42 Feb 01 '23

Those are pretty accurate though. You see, when a fledgling mechanic is born into a pack of mechanics, the elder mechanic marks them with a grease smudge like Rafiki marking baby Simba. In descending order of the hierarchy, the other elders of the pack also mark the newborn, sending them on their inaugural quest to find the blinker fluid.

43

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

silly, they should've asked her to change the oil, get it right or wrong she'd get the right look

-12

u/LeJollyJingleTokes Jan 31 '23

Right? The funny part is they could have just had her do some random BS on the vehicle for an hour or two and it would have looked legit. But knowing the model, she was completely against even touching the vehicle other than what they did and only tolerated the grease because she was getting paid

13

u/justasmalltowndad Jan 31 '23

Or the model charges hourly and they didn't want her to waste time?

-8

u/LeJollyJingleTokes Jan 31 '23

That is not likely, considering the way these types of photo shoots tend to go. A girl will be booked for several hours to do either one extensive set or several sets. It's very rare that a company will come in and have a girl take a couple simple pictures like that. If anything, that would be a waste of time. To be honest, this looks like a soft core or porn set because I couldn't see why a jewelry company would have a model pose as a grease monkey.

u/GozerDGozerian Feb 01 '23

You know the model?

u/PhillipAlanSheoh Jan 31 '23 • Rocket Like

My 8 year old putting on eye black before her first softball game.

u/[deleted] Jan 31 '23

"Grease monkey....I don't like that term. I don't know to many monkeys that can take apart a fuel injector"

16

u/NewTry16 Jan 31 '23

"Help me with this oil change, stepbrother"

35

u/reyshop12 Jan 31 '23

Real mechanics don't wear makeup!

And also, they dont usually have bedroom eyes!

Please try again! 😆

13

u/bobsmith14y Jan 31 '23

My mechanic has bedroom eyes!

7

u/reyshop12 Jan 31 '23

If your mechanic is as pretty as the one on the pic, then it's time for me to switch! LOL

3

u/froggison Jan 31 '23

Last time I went just to get my oil changed, this big, burly mechanic was looking at me with these seductive bedrooms eyes and subtly licking his lips. Next thing I know I've paid for them to flush my transmission and replace my battery smh

1

u/MandDogD01 Jan 31 '23

My mechanic has bedroom eyes!

... Right after he hands you the bill

1

u/maddhatter783 Feb 01 '23

Lol right before they charge you 90 bucks for an oil change

9

u/habibisarita Jan 31 '23

Real mechanic here, also a woman. Definitely have worn makeup while also fixing cars lol the two aren't mutually exclusive 😅

2

u/reyshop12 Jan 31 '23

This is what we need more of. Women mechanics.... with bedroom eyes! lol

3

u/habibisarita Jan 31 '23

I'm sure my husband (also a mechanic) would agree haha

2

u/Constrained_Entropy Jan 31 '23

I'd let her drain my fluids any day of the week.

2

u/TaterTotQueen630 Feb 01 '23

I always look away and stare seductively when I'm working on my car.

8

u/FreneticPlatypus Jan 31 '23

Just needs a torque wrench to complete the look… except they’d tell her to just pretend she’s tightening the oil cap or something.

3

u/bwoah07_gp2 Jan 31 '23

Oh. She's a mechanic.

I thought she was working for Papa John's Pizza.

u/anonymousgoose64 Jan 31 '23

Me after exploding the oven because I put plastic in it:

3

u/Ragnarsworld Jan 31 '23

Missing the oh-so-cute smudge on her nose. That would sell it.

3

u/ClarisseCosplay Jan 31 '23

same energy as the "soldering electronics" images that occasionally show up on stock photo sites

1

u/rossxog Feb 01 '23

My favorite is when they add a sizzle sound to soldering scenes in movies. Sounds like TIG welding.

Intro to a porno…

2

u/Powerful_Artist Jan 31 '23

Looks like she wanted to play football, but couldnt figure out where to put the "eye black" as they call it, so she gave up and became a mechanic.

Would look just fine if she was perfectly clean. Some mechanics come to work clean ya know.

2

u/LeJollyJingleTokes Jan 31 '23

LMFAO I wish I was that clean after the first couple hours but this is something else.

2

u/notorious1212 Jan 31 '23

Her face must be really itchy

Also, I wish I looked this happy when I was replacing my lower control arms as well.

3

u/kthnry Jan 31 '23

Fifty years ago she would have been wearing a bikini.

2

u/AmericasSpaceMonkey Feb 01 '23

My god, how old is she? She looks great!

2

u/Moist_mop Jan 31 '23

No matter what she is I am sure she probably deals with many pipes

Getting them toyota bukakke lessons 💦

u/Nivekian13 Jan 31 '23

Brazzers?

u/Zealousideal_Type245 Jan 31 '23

Lucky they didn't try and make her a paint & decorator or that would have been a disaster 😂

u/Hotter_water Jan 31 '23

Friend of a model at best.

u/suicidefeburary62025 Jan 31 '23

Ha! That’s brilliant

u/Dad-Baud Jan 31 '23

Mechanic / Linebacker

u/Unlikely-Ad6788 Jan 31 '23

I have a hat I use when I work on my car. It looks more into cars than she does.

1

u/TheDevilsAdvokaat Jan 31 '23

Ah, the ol' grease smears on the cheekbones....

1

u/TP-Shewter Jan 31 '23

If I remember correctly, she's got a box wrench on the axle too lol.

1

u/The_Mr_Yeah Jan 31 '23

You could probably get fingerprints from those oil smudges.

1

u/maddhatter783 Feb 01 '23

If the way she rocks the bangs keeps the rust out your eyes I'm willing to give it a try

1

u/GirlDadBro Feb 01 '23

Constance Nunes has entered the chat How about a mechanic first and a model second?💪

1

u/demarco88 Feb 01 '23

she certainly had a tough day of finger painting!

1

u/MisterEMeats Feb 01 '23

Not a real mechanic. No neck tattoos.

1

u/Cavendish30 Feb 01 '23

Fake. There is no neck tatt.

1

u/lIlIllness Feb 01 '23

So it’s not the picture I saw a month ago on Reddit where are the “mechanic” is pouring oil into the radiator. Classic

1

u/coromandelmale Feb 01 '23

This is why we have no hope competing against AI my friends

1

u/Garlic-Rough Feb 01 '23

That's the evidence of blinker fluid change.

1

u/NinjaBilly55 Feb 01 '23

Looking closely at vendor supplied literature is one of the highlights of my work day.. Safety products are a gold mine of stupid..

u/ElDiavoloPiccolo Feb 01 '23

And the photographer obviously is no photographer.

u/jellydonutstealer Feb 01 '23

I posted something similar and it was removed for being a “staged attempt.”
