Alternate Route

Nov 8, 2008 - Ask Dub Schwartz!

Dear Dub,
I did something really stupid the other day. I didn't pay attention to the fact that it was fall and the leaves were coming down. It had rained the night before and we went out for a drive to view the fall foiliage.
To make a long story short, I came to a leaf-covered turn in the road and the front end lost traction and now I'm looking at replacing some bent suspension parts.
Can you cut me a good deal on the repair?
Andy

Sorry to hear that Andy! I may not be able to cut you a great deal on the repair, but you can enjoy some compimentary chili from the Emporium while you wait!

This time of year is almost more dangerous than the first snow of the season, because at least with the snow you think about it being slippery. With leaves on the road you sometimes remain blissfully unaware until it's too late and you're hydroplaning your way into trouble.

Enjoy those fall foliage drives folks! But save the water skiing for the summer.
