Last month I realized just in time that I needed to my car inspected. I despise anything having to do with maintenance of my car. Getting the oil changed, having repairs done.. . car inspection. So, on a weekday off I dragged my butt, or rather my bumper, over to the Gulf at the Rehoboth Four Corners. I’ve been coming to this place for my inspection since I was 16. I never feel comfortable walking into the garage itself, yelling over the air compressors and power tools, and getting the attention of the only auto tech on. Thankfully, there were no cars there and the tech was sipping a cup of coffee quietly chatting it up with your typical Rehoboth local.. . plaid shirt, worn Wranglers, John Deere baseball cap. Tossed him my keys and was directed to sit in the one chair nestled in only corner not stocked with food, candy, and supplies in the convenience part of this station. Watched the Maury Show and passed the time laughing about it with the cashier. My car was inspected in no time and was waiting for me outside the front door of the store. Despite my hatred for all things car maintenance, visiting here on a yearly basis has a somewhat familiar, hometown feel to it. The same people, doing the same things, day in and day out. Last time I got to watch the Discovery Channel though, which was far more interesting than«YOUARENOTTHEFATHER!!» I recommend going to the garage at an off time for quicker service and wait time.
