#128 Care and Maintenance

 

As far as my cars are concerned, my primary function is to take them in for maintenance as often as possible. My mechanic shares their viewpoint, except he also sees me as the guy who pays for that maintenance. If I could figure out some way to extract myself from the middle of this arrangement, we’d all be a lot happier.

Except then I’d have no cars to drive, the cars wouldn’t have anyone to take them to the mechanic and the mechanic wouldn’t have all of my money. Actually, giving up those last two wouldn’t be bad. It’s the transportation thing that I can’t get past. Like most people in challenging relationships, I’ve decided to take the bad with the good.

My relationships with new cars are always full of hope and promise.

    Are you the Kevin Cummings who attended grade school in Rotterdam, New York?

    Hi Karen–

    I’ve lived most of my life west of the Mississippi (except for a four year stint as an Air Force brat in England). Never been to Rotterdam.

    Regards,
    KC
