INTO EVERY LIFE A LITTLE RAIN MUST FALL

It seems that my poor 2011 Chevy Cruz has seen more than its fair share of downpours such as a deer on a suicide mission and a few other fender benders. We’ve replaced the heater, the clutch and, currently she’s in the shop for more pricey repairs. Yet I cling tenaciously to her. She’s paid off, after all.

Last week when I took the car into the shop the wide-eyed mechanic looked at me like I had flown a spaceship into his garage. He gasped, “It’s a stick-shift.”

“Yes, Captain Obvious, it’s my millennial anti-theft device. Please, just fix it.”
