I was offered free repair recently - to replace a wheel on a

Is there another excuse for making that drive? A park that you wanted to visit?
A restaurant that you wanted to try? A friend you haven't seen in a while? A
fair or festival that sounds like fun?

When SWMBO and I have to make a drive for a reason that we aren't thrilled
about, we try to find a way to make an adventure/day-cation out of the chore.

We do the same. I also wonder if you called ahead if they would do the
repair in a short time. Go have lunch and come back for it.

I like to drive so any place at any time works for me. I've done a 60
mile round trip many times because a particular bakery had the best rye
bread in New England.
