So, I decided that my little red Landrover needed some attention to detail since it decided that the radio was going on strike.  Drat!  I can barely drive without musical accompaniment.  I have been very good to my car since it is one of the many tools I use in my business.  But, slowly, it is revolting, given the many, many miless I ask it to go to do Broker Price Opinons, listing appointments, and buyer consultations.  I understand.  I wouldn't want to work that hard either, oh, that's right, I do!  Plus put in hours working on price opinions, printing off open house sheets, purchase agreements, listing contracts and all the other attendant paperwork that goes with listing, buyer and selling homes.  Well, little Red, you are nice and clean, given your dratted black carpet that shows every little flaw, and you are all armor-alled and nice smelly, and have all your eyes wide open again...so we can take you out with buyers who will ignore you and look at all the beautiful homes your owner will show them!  They will be very pleased with their new homes, and I have you to thank.

Hi Suzanne, We do ask a lot of our cars don't we?  Well I'm sure little Red is up to the challenge, all spiffed up and ready to go ! :-)

I put over 30000 miles per year on my car

I "detailed" my car a few years ago after a long Winter had taken it's toll upon the interior cleanliness.  Much to my surprise, I found a bank envelope tucked between the back seat containing several hundred dollars I had totally misplaced after cashing some checks at the bank six months prior.  So in the end, I got a nice clean car for my effort AND some "jingle" in my pocket as well.

A poor car in this business can certainly take a beating, I'm thankful that mine has hung in there and done well so far.

Mary: little Red and just plain Red are doing well and surviving.  It's going to get some more nice treats on Thursday for its hard work on my behalf. 

Andrzej - We put a lot of miles on for our work.  And, sometimes we actually can get money back for all the times we run for no return!!  I love it when that happens!

Tom - no such luck.  The car was broken into in my own driveway, ransacked and if there had ever been such an envelope, it would have been their reward for their dastardly deeds.  But, you were well compensated for your effort!  Sometimes, it's good just to go through it and see what you don't need to haul around, wasting gas.  Thanks. 

JL - we certainly need to maintain the equipment we have.  My motto is if it's worth having, it's worth maintaining, especially these days.

I have my car wash and vacuumed every weekend, and then once a quarter it gets a serious detailing, inside and out, and a good wax and buff. Keeps the car looking nice in the 11 months of hot San Diego sun.
