    Lexington was an easy drive IIRC, so was St. Clair. Might do one of those since Rochester is city like and 75 is all screwy. We'll see. I should probably get around to making appointments.

      Enjoying this thread, reminds me of a funny story (to me anyway) ...
      A few winters ago, we drove from Ontario Canada to Fort Lauderdale Fl. parked our /04 Grand Cherokee (HO, V8, great car!!) for two weeks while on a cruise. On our return, we drove across the Everglades Pkwy., then north to Fort Myers. On that drive, it felt that the car was rather sluggish, later we smelt hot materials, ah, the back brakes were dragging. The next day, I took it to a muffler / brake shop, asking the counter guy to check out the back brakes, later adding that I would pay for hoist time if he would loan me some wrenches to do the job myself in about 1/2 hr., "can't do that"). Anyway, the Jeep is on the hoist, two techs and counter guy are thoroughly going over everything underside for some time. Finally, counter guy comes out and notes, "yu have a serious oil leak somewhere but we cannot find the source". I then explained that we were from the frozen north and what his techs were seeing is a working man's rust prevention. I had just had the Jeep oil sprayed before leaving home. It was one of those "AH HA" moments.

        The Canada plates obviously weren't enough of a clue.

          Some people wouldn't know water if it was sprayed in their face.

            You're not wrong.
