the way to know they don’t love you yet

When you say “my car needs to go into the shop but I don’t know how to get to work if I do that” and no one says “I’ll give you a ride.” It was more along the lines of “Enterprise has good rates…”

Of course, that’s assuming I can get to the car rental place in good time. Enterprise picks you up, but is there one close to the good mechanic? Probably not.

The trouble is, of course, my coolant system is leaking. I got a new cap and the rest of the system goes poof. Typical.
