Once a year, we have to take our cars to what they call Air CARE. It is a place where you pay $24 dollars so that they can check to see that your car is not a polluter. One can not get their car licence for the year, untill you do this. Every year about this time, I go there, pay my money, have it checked. It always passes. So having better weather, I decided to get it done yesterday. One hased to have the car warmed up good. or it will flunk. So I go thrugh the warm up, and head down to air care. Every thing was going good, no line ups. In fact , I was the only one there. Drove right in, and they started the check, and guy said, come out here a minite.I went out , and seen my tail pipe was about to drop off. He said I should get it fixed, and I agreed. So, with a new tail pipe, an muffler, I will try again to day.

Knight had a day like that too today…worked on the old 1967 English cars…mine is supposed to be sold…but the buyer is lagging in picking it up. He lives 2 hours away…Knight said…got Tom’s car in front of my car now…I said…until I have money in hand that is still MY car! He better call his old friend and remind him…it is not his car until I sign over the pink! Cars sit too long in our driveway…batteries wear down and so do we
Ya cars are like people, you got to keep them running, or they rust up.
We used to have yearly mandatory safety checks here in Oklahoma but we don’t have them anymore. That’s not quite the same thing, but ours only cost $5. I sure hope that you don’t have to pay another $24 tomorrow when it passes.
