Paris was not what I thought it was going to be. I’m not entirely sure why I romanticized it in my heart and in my thoughts but it was not the romantic get away I had hoped it would be. It’s my fault, really, I let myself believe in the American perception of Paris – the one they try to sell you at the travel agency or in commercials, even movies!

This forced me to look at how often I was having it regularly inspected, as well as the cost factors that are involved. I wanted to make sure that I would not find myself in a position on the road where I might need assistance when it could have been avoided even having hydraulics looked at for my car.
