The King is Crowned Originally uploaded by TedHobgood. Ok, here's what happened. It seems a little incredible, so I'll go slow.

I've had my freshly-washed Ford Contour for about seven months now, and I took it to the garage for the first time this weekend to tune up for the trip to Greenville to take the little lady back to school. Very routine sort of thing — new rear brakes and ...
