Happy Birthday Car!
Dec. 11th, 2013 10:15 amI want to wish my car a happy 15th birthday! It's now officially the car I've put the most miles on ever -- just recently passed the 123456 mark on the Odometer. My last car that I sold to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
abernat in 1998 was just slightly under that mark when I delivered it.
Unlike that car however (which was about to explode and I was really worried about whether or not it would make it down to LA), my current car seems to still run just as well as the day I bought it. The CD player eats CDs and the radio knob has come off, but the engine seems to be doing fine, knock on wood. Somewhere along the lines I learned that maintaining a car is important, and we found a great local mechanic I trust who keeps it in tip-top shape.
If you're local, I highly recommend Frank at A-1 Auto Tech, 89 Pioneer Way in Mountain View Ca. It's more expensive than Jiffy-lube for oil changes and tire rotations by a factor of 2, but the trust factor is really important to me.robszewczyk's sister is the one who originally recommended it to me and I've been going there ever since. Once I took it elsewhere for a "free oil change" at the dealer and they mis-threaded the filter and dripped oil all over my garage. You get what you pay for, and I've been really happy at A-1.
