    Wait, I never noticed!

    mechanic: So, does it make any noises or can you smell anything burning?

    customer: I can't really hear anything, maybe a little hiss or sizzle once in a while. And nothing burning that I can smell. It actually smells really good and I'm getting hungry!

    mechanic: aha! I got u fam.
