Summer Nights and Dashboard Lights

Summer Nights and Dashboard Lights
I'm not what you say "car guy", at least in the traditional sense. Give me the key and pop the hood and I'm as useful as the pair of hands in a football game. I've never done anything mechanical in a car that makes me an easy target for dishonest mechanics.

("What say you? I need a new pin cushion of air conditioning and you give me a good deal? Done. And while you're there, go ahead and do that" needle Tires / defoliation "you said last time.")

I have owned two cars in my life and now goes to the large parking lot in the sky later this week, I scrapped them both. (This means that I have a perfect record when it comes to non-compliant vehicles. I will also say that my first car technically was not "trashed", but rather a gift. My father suggested that I do. would depreciate the value of the vehicle on my taxes I ended up using the short form file, which meant there was nowhere to give me information on a vehicle if you are keeping score at home, that Sacco: 0. IRS: 1).

Rejection of a vehicle can be a very emotional moment. Some will remember all the work they put into the engine to improve its performance. Others will remember the last weekend washing and waxing the outside to get the perfect shine. And do not forget those who get teary-eyed about the many trips they shared with their car at Taco Bell drive-thru.
