When Y and I moved to Brooklyn, we gave our Toyota Corolla to my folks who have been driving it for the past nine years. On my recent trip to visit them, they let me borrow the car so Y and I could get around and out of the city during my sabbatical. One of the highlights of the 14 hour drive back to New York City was crossing the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge from Staten Island to Brooklyn on the lower deck.
Also, I want to give a shout out to Woodard’s Auto Center in Nahunta, Georgia for getting my old car up to snuff–new plugs, new battery, new tires, oil change, and winterize–for the long drive north. If you’re in their neck of the woods and need your car or truck serviced, Mr. (Jimmy) Woodard and his sons Jim and Tim are highly recommended!
Tomorrow, I’ll share some of the things that I did to the car’s interior to make the drive as comfortable as possible and avoiding a potential fire due to a rat’s nest.
