You can’t imagine how happy and excited I was to purchase a
new cannolimobile! Now that I am in SWFL I just had to have a convertible! What
else would a diva drive???? I must say I look cute driving around with the top
down…the wind blowing through my hair…tunes jamming….ahhh the life of a cannoli
in SWFL does not get any better than this.
That was until my cannolimobile started to have some
problems. The oil light coming on was bad enough but I noticed it kept pulling
to the right when I was driving along. No, I was not distracted driving.
Speaking of which what exactly is a distraction when you are driving? I cause a pretty good amount of attention when
you see me along the highways….people stop, they stare or honk their horns.
Does that mean I am a distraction?? Just wondering????
I realized I had to get my cannolimobile looked at. Not
every auto place is able to do this. So I had to call around. After tons of
rejections I found Mr. B’s Alignment and Brakes in Cape Coral. What a find!
They are tucked in what I was told was an industrial area on SE 9th St.
Apparently they have been around for years and are well known.
Tyler (isn’t he cute?) took a look at my cannolimobile and
said all I needed was an oil change and an alignment. Alignment? What is
that??? Oh I learned it has to do with the tires and that is why it was pulling
to the right. Back in my little village I rode a bicycle around everywhere.
There was no need for a cannolimobile. All this maintenance stuff is new to
this cannoli.
I waited around for my cannolimobile to be ready. They had some
coffee available…a TV to watch…but I have to say the others waiting there for
their cars were entertaining. I received some strange looks, some smiles and a
few chatted with me. Before I knew it though, my convertible was all ready and
I was good to go. No more light and now when I am cruising along my car drives
straight as an arrow!!!!
From what I am told by those I showed my receipt to, I was
charged a really good price. I hear there are those who take advantage of
unsuspecting cannoli’s. They tell you that you need things when you don’t, or
they over charge for the simplest of things. Luckily for me Mr. B’s is not like
that.
The next time I need some cannolimobile work done I am going
to have to ask just who Mr. B. is? Does anybody know?????
