Out here, not only are there drop-off car fix-it places
that really fix them, they do it at seemingly ridiculously
low prices, and they ask you to leave your keys in the
ignition or on the visor. We also have full-serve gas for the
same price as self-serve. There's a real drive-in movie
theater on the edge of town. We're 35 minutes from a Starbucks
or real boiled bagels, though.
