I’ve
heard several drivers recently say that spring is in the air, and I’m
sure that must be true, despite the record setting deluge of the wet
stuff falling from the clouds these past few months. Why am I so
confident about what season we’re in? Because I’ve been watching
you buzzing around the house, cleaning and organizing everything
under the roof, including my crib that you refer to as the garage.
While
I do appreciate all your hard work to make my space cleaner and more
organized, I am feeling a bit neglected and underappreciated these
days. After all, you’re giving the house all your time, energy and
attention while I’m out here alone in the cold, shivering in
darkness for hours at a time. Where’s the love?
Don’t
I deserve a day at the spa; I mean the mechanics shop for a much
needed once-over? After all, I’ve been dutifully protecting you and
your precious family from the elements, including torrential
downpours and howling rain, not to mention those nasty tire eating
potholes, whisking you all about town in your various travels from
point A to Point B.
Okay,
I see you’re now laughing at the idea of spring cleaning for your
car, but I’m serious. Just look at the nasty dirt caked on my cabin
air filter! Did you know that stuff was once floating in the air you
and the family have been breathing for months with those windows
rolled up tight all winter? And don’t get me started on that other
filter lurking under the hood!
I
don’t mean to be a nag, but even though the weather outside has
transitioned from frightful to delightful; the long and scorching
days of summer will be here before you know it. Wouldn’t this be
the perfect time to give the old air conditioner a quick test run,
just to make sure it’s blowing cold air (unlike the hot air I’ve
been blowing at you this entire article)? Or even better; why not
give me a much needed day off at the spa for a thorough spring
cleaning. I hear they’re offering that at Valley Motorwerks!
