I got my car inspected just under the wire (literally, note wires in picture) at a local Sunoco garage. I found something interesting to draw and did it while the inspection was going on. The weather was unusually warm and bright so I was able to draw outside the door on a bench. When I finished and the car was ready, I noticed that the young guy running the shop was drawing an intricate map on a paper at the counter. I correctly identified him as a role-playing gamer. He said he used to run a game but his players had all moved away so he was left with only the game world illustrated by his maps. He enjoyed world-building for its own sake, no inspections needed.

Your sketch captures that garage atmosphere perfectly! It’s fascinating that the mechanic was into RPG world-building. I’m currently facing a similar inspection deadline while traveling, and I was just researching can you get your car inspected in another state to avoid any fines. Great art!
