How do you keep a very standard, twice repossessed Honda Civic bought from the Polish dealership in good shape? Take it to Aladdin's Auto Service, conveniently located behind the movie theater at Fresh Pond in N. Cambridge.

I was checking prices at the Valvoline and the Jiffy Lube near my workplace. Traffic was terrible heading back. Well, changing oil has suddenly become a job that costs 37.99--this is for standard oil, no synthetic, no "high mileage" BS oil (also known as snake oil).
Suddenly, I remembered: Free lunch for Teacher Appreciation Week! Screw Jiffy and Valvoline, I'm going to Aladdin's after lunch. One catered Au Bon Pain lunch later, I leisurely drove to Aladdin's, where I was offered tea ("Persian but with Indian origin") and a plate of cookies and a bowl of fruit welcomed me. I heavily sugared my tea, and kicked back with Tim Gunn: A Guide to Quality, Taste, and Style. Mahmood (Aladdin) and I kicked back and talked fashion while one of his associates worked on my car.
Brakes are shot. Huge surprise, when the highway practically stops at the 93/24 split every morning. You think opening the breakdown lane would help, and the whole "against traffic" thing. No. Oh well. "Dad..." (or in my case, "Tata...")
