EDITOR’S CORNER


The groundhog has spoken – now it is time for us to get ready for Spring. Forget the numerous inches of snow (and ice) that covered the driving roads and focus on getting our cars ready to go when the road clears. In past years I have not taken advantage of a heated garage to attack winter car projects. I got a slow start this winter, but I did get some under-the-hood time during the Christmas holidays. A few minor repairs were performed but I keep dodging the big stuff.

Well, that is going to change. The Spring Tune-up has been announced and I for one, have been procuring parts for a much-needed update to my car. Brakes, replacement rubber components, rebuild kits – all on sale at Moss Motors – are now on their way to me. Now I just need to allot myself some time to install all these goodies in time to attend the Tune-up event.

See you on the road.
