So on Wednesday all the grade 9’s got to go to work with there parents or somebody else. I went with my stepbrother to Richmond Auto Body North Vancouver(A.K.A. R.A.B.). If you want to know more about this place click Eh, just about everything u need to know about that place is on that link. Anyways I chose to go with my stepbrother because if I went with my Dad I would have to probably clean up the mess he makes in somebody’s backyard, because he is a landscaper, and I dont like doing that, and if I went with my Mom I would be bored at a office probably spinning in one of those chairs all day long. With my brothers job at least he works with cars which I like. Speaking of cars there were these two cool cars that were there, one was a really old Jaguar XJS V12,
That Jaguar is only have as cool as this car. 
This is an older BMW I’m thinking approximately a late 1980’s to 1990 BMW M5 maybe M3, with all of the weight reduction possible and a roll cage and a bucket seat. My brother had to drive it like just a couple of metres to get it out of the way and it was awkward for him to get out of the car because of the roll cage, and he said “People say they want a roll cage, no they dont because it’s pretty hard to get out of the car.” That was probably the coolest thing I saw while I was there.
The other thing that I got to do was go into the paint booth which is where they paint cars/parts of cars. The guy who was working in the paint booth told me basically what he had to do. It’s something like a three coat proccess, u put a coat of paint on it, wait ten minutes until its mostly dry. You then do that again, then once its mostly dry you put the clear coat on it which makes it look shiny, he wouldnt let me in the paint booth while he was putting on the clear coat becuase it is insanely bad for you to ingest, so for that he needed a mask. Oh and the paint is insanely expensive. These little paint things that you pour, are no bigger then a pop can and there like $50 bucks and a good size can is like a couple hundred dollars. 
One of the cool things that my brother gets to do is weld. Right now there is a recall for BMW’s on there baby seat clip thingy, you know the thing that you attach the car seat to in the car, and becuase R.A.B. is a certified BMW autobody most of there cars are BMW’s so my brother has done so many of them that he’s starting to get bored with them because he’s done it so many times. He gave me his old welding mask to borrow becasuse its worse than looking at the sun, it was pretty cool because the metal melted down into a puddle that you could faintly see because of the mask, the welding tool he was using was transfering electricity to the end of it which was making it really hot which caused the metal to melt which makes it so my brother can reshape the metal.
Here’s another thing that happened a transformer from the sixties blew up outside. No, not a transformer that can change shape I’m talking about the ones that give you electricity it was still pretty cool a giant 12000 volt chunk came off.
One of my brothers co-workers owns a Alfa Romeo with a V8 in it and it does brunouts in 3rd gear, if you don’t know what that means here are the simple terms, small ish car + big engine = it go fast. Another guy has a 500 horsepower mustang that also goes very fast, and is a very cool car.
Thats basically everything that happened I just did homework the rest of the time.
I personally think that my take your child to work day is one of the best, don’t you think so eh!
