MERRY CHRISTMAS

A Christmas Market in Germany. I know it has nothing to do with cars, (other than that you may need one to get there.) but it does have something to do with Superior Auto Works. You see, Joe (the owner) is from Germany, and I (Dutch) am from the Netherlands. So for us it's just a little bit of home. It's something that's part of our heritage, and also something we would love for everybody to experience. Someone told me once that it was as close as Europe would ever get to a "tailgating party". The atmosphere is wonderful and to stay warm in the snow people gather together around fires and drink Gluh Wein. (a mulled wine that is warmed up.)
We at Superior Auto Works hope that your Holidays be filled with joy, and perhaps a little Gluh Wein with some good friends.
Have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!See More

A LITTLE SNOW HUMOR

One winter morning a husband and wife in northern Michigan were listening to the radio during breakfast. They heard the announcer say, “We are going to have 8 to 10 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the even-numbered side of the street, so the snowplows can get through.”

So the good wife went out and moved her car. A week later while they are eating breakfast again, the radio announcer said, “We are expecting 10 to 12 inches of snow today. You must park your car on the odd-numbered side of the street, so The snowplows can get through.”

The husband went out and moved the car again. The next week they are again having breakfast, when the radio announcer says, “We are expecting 12 to 14 inches of snow today. You must park….” Then the electric power went out. The couple got worried, “Honey, I don’t know what to do. Which side of the street do I need to park on so the snowplows can get through?” The husband said. "Let's ask the neighbor, maybe he knows!"

The couple knocked on the neighbor's door, and asked him if he heard the end of the radio message. "No" he said, but then with the love and understanding only a good neighbor can have he said, “I have watched you guys move your car to either side of the street for the last couple of weeks. Why don’t you just leave it in the garage this time.”

Ice, Ice, Baby

We all know the season's upon us! Snow and ice on the roads. Please be careful and take your time getting to your destination. Just in case you forgot since last year what it's all about. We included this video to serve as a reminder.
Enjoy this Christmas season, try not to make a trip to the body-shop.

A motorist runs a red light and is photographed by an automated police camera. In the mail a short time later, he receives a photo of his car committing the infraction and a citation for $60. Instead of paying the fine, the motorist mails the police department a photograph of three 20-dollar bills. Several days later, he gets a letter back from the police department. Inside is a photograph of a pa...ir of handcuffs.

A Texas rancher was visiting a farmer in Israel. The proud Israeli showed him around. "Here is where I grow tomatoes, cucumbers, and squash. Over there I built a play set for my kids, next to the doghouse," the farmer said.
The land-size was modest, and the Texan was surprised. "Is this all your land?" he asked.
"Yes," the Israeli said proudly. "This is all mine!"
"You mean this is it? This is all of it?" the Texan said incredulously.
"Yes, yes, this is really all mine!"
"Well, son," said the Texan, "back home I'd get in my car before the sun'd come up and I'd drive and drive and drive, and when the sun set, why, I'd only be halfway across my land!"
"Oh, yes," replied the Israeli farmer wistfully, "I used to have a car like that."

INTERNET DIAGNOSTICS

While zooming along on the information highway in a car called Google, I noticed the incredible amount of so called knowledge, insight and "how to's" when it comes to fixing cars. I eagerly perused through much of this info and came to the conclusion that it doesn't leave one any wiser. Most information can be helpful, if the situation you are experiencing is exactly the same as the person who is ...describing his/her qualms or praises. The likelihood of that being the case is slim to none. There are to many variables that come in to play with diagnosing a car problem. The best answer is: "Have your mechanic check it out" (and by that of course I mean Superior Auto Works:) ). He knows your car's history and quirks, and will be able to diagnose all the problems. It's easy to surf the net for cheap fixes, or short cuts. The problem is, they're typically not!
