I Want a Bumper Car!









    Can you imagine just how wonderful our driving experience would be if we all drove these fantastic bumper cars? We would be smiling, laughing and enjoying our ride. When was the last time you saw a motorist smiling as they passed by? All I see are frowns from the clowns. My parents used to say people still smiled while driving in the 1940s, but that started to change in the 1950s.

    In any case, I'm smiling every time I drive just to piss off the non-smiling grumpazoides. I sure do get strange glares from people. If they think I am totally crazy, they be right! Like the song says, You have to be crazy to keep from going insane.

A Real Tire Pro!

    Who would have guessed, Camp Verde, Arizona, hides great a secret? We have the best automotive repair shop on the planet and its name is Tire Pro Automotive!

    I have been driving for over 50 years, but there is no truth to the nasty rumor my daughter spread around recently, that included, but was not limited to me driving wagon trains in Camp Verde's early years. Nor to the rumor that I am older than dirt, although that point could be argued. During all those years of driving, I have never had the kind of service and professional car care that is provided by the Tire Pro team.

    It seems to me that if something is good, we should shout it from the rooftops. With so many businesses failing in the Camp Verde area, it is good to know my favorite grocery store, Bashas', and automotive repair shop, Tire Pro, are here for the long haul!

    If you need some quality car repair at a fair price, go see my friend Jared and the team at Tire Pro on Finny Flats Road across the street from the Bashas'. Do what I did during the short wait to get my car fixed. I pigged out on belly busters at the Bashas' bakery!
