Car Goes to College
Well, today I dropped my car off at the local community college to be painted by inexperienced students yet overseen by an experienced instructor.  It was a strange feeling leaving it there for the next month or so.
I drove it there with no front bumper, no headlights, no wipers, nor any turn signals and no tail lights–ya know, all the stuff they all check at inspection. I at least hung the center brake light out of its hole. I had the wife and kids behind me in a van. But, my biggest fear was being pulled over for having no lights. Thankfully, I didn’t even see any cops on the way. I saw like two on the way back though. 🙂
He said it would be done by just 2 or 3 students. So, it’s not like the whole class is going to have their way with it. I asked him if I should give the students a fruitcake or something for their trouble. But he said that normally people just bring donuts in the morning for the whole class. That’ll work, but I want to think of something more creative than that if I can.
Oh, and I showed him the side skirts. He said it wouldn’t be a problem for them to half way fit one and then for me to come look at it. So, I’ll get to see if I like them before going though with the whole thing.
My sister has loaned me her car for the month. She lives in NYC and never took her car with her. So, it’s available. Thanks!
