car repairs – Lee Duigon

Before and After - Clean Fleet Auto Body - Metairie, LA

This weekend we got Patty’s car back from the body shop. You wouldn’t believe your eyes: looked like it just came out of the showroom. What a job they did!

See, the car had only some 20,000 miles on it. For what we would pay to have it repaired, we couldn’t get a used car anywhere near as good.

No, we are not interested in ever getting an electric car. That whole business is a scam. It’s a political program being foisted on us by villains who want to erase our freedom.

When Henry Ford made gas-powered cars available to just about everybody, he practically created the American middle class.

Please let’s not un-create it!

Remember when you could just go into any auto parts store and buy windshield wiper blades when you needed them, and put them on yourself in a matter of minutes? Can’t do that anymore.

Anco Windshield Wipers had this series of ads featuring two guys doing a rather fine imitation of Laurel and Hardy. I wonder who they were. I never thought to ask for Anco wiper-blades by name, when I needed some–but then I’m sure Laurel and Hardy would’ve forgotten that, too.

Now I have to go to my mechanic and buy these modular things which he has to install with special tools. I am happy to report that he doesn’t have Laurel and Hardy working for him. No offense, guys–but after seeing you try to deliver a piano (in The Music Box), I don’t want you working on my brakes.
