POOR CAR

SWMBO has been busy recently staging our garage for a sale in about a week.

It is filling with "stuff" that she and the BRD are hoping to get rid of in return for some "filthy lucre".


The problem is that over abundance of goods has forced my beloved car to be parked outside.

And when a winter storm has just graced our area with rain, ice and snow the poor automobile has taken the brunt of it, sitting silently and uncomplaining but no doubt suffering.


But the sun is back today and the temperature will be climbing up into the melting zone over the next couple of days.

The cheerless owner and, I'm sure, the vehicle itself can't wait.

  1. A garage being used for a car. What a novel idea.

    Not long and it can have its space back I'm sure

  4. Nope, those are the BRD's. Incidentally, I've already bought one of her cookbooks.

  5. Everyone here is running around to do chores today before that snow hits us here tomorrow! My car is inside! ;-)

  6. To paraphrase Enya
    "Sale away, sale away, sale away"

    Make sure they don't sell your snow brush.

  7. You'll just have to buy some of the stuff you already own. :)

  8. Your comments about your suffering car reminded me of Robert Klein's old routine:

  9. The car can cope. I love groj sales. They don't work around here in the winter.

    Hoping to do one this summer. It's not a time to get money, but to get rid of junk. Hence, groj.

  10. At least it's temporary. Our poor vehicles never get any shelter, but they hang in there year after year.

  11. That car looks like mine used to look when I still lived in Illinois.

  12. Hope the snow and frost are gone and life has melted back into warmer times.

  13. In line with Mr. Phil Perisich's comment, many people here in France use a garage, not for parking a car out of inclement (or other) weather, but as a tax-free adjunct to the domestic dwelling space. Such an extension usually includes such items as a sink; a washing machine; tool store, etc..

  14. Tom, my garage also houses a washer, dryer, many tools, and cabinets and shelves for storing other "stuff". It's basically a two car garage that only has room for one car now. And actually NO car with the accumulation of sale items.
