...just clean your car!

Today I started the multi-afternoon process of spring cleaning, including getting the beast ready for an upcoming wash and shine concours in May. I took all floor mats and lose carpet pieces out and cleaned them thoroughly. In the process I found a whooping 2 Quarters!!!

This is quite unusual - I had cleaned the car in these areas a few times before and found some coins that I removed. In the meantime, only myself and some mechanics / tire installers have driven the car. I never ever carry coins in my pockets. Yet, I'm finding new money. Is my car trying to pay me back?

Nicole,
So how much Benzine can you buy around San Francisco with 2 quarters?

Not more than a sip... Just as much as needed for one kick down!

Nicole,

I was there weekend before last and gas was "only" $2.35 a gallon for that California low,low octane unleaded. Can't even get 93 at most pumps, really scary.

I know it cost me almost $40 each time to fill my stinkin' Taurus rental car. Part of my love/hate relationship with the Bay area - guess which part.

Has it gone up again?
