"Maint req" is the exact phrase it used to inform me of its malaise. I know it is a little overdue for an oil change, timewise. Mileagewise, it is a little premature in its thinking. We don't drive it enough to make its mileage fit the mechanical timeline for maintenance.
What's the phrase? Driven by a little old lady in Pasadena? Except for the little and the Pasadena references, that is somewhat accurate.
Tomorrow the car will have to get up early to be first at the mechanic's door. I wish it were old enough to go by itself . . .

Technically, it is old enough to go by itself; the driver just needs to be picked up. That means me; I have to get up soo early to put it in the shop, or is that a sweat shop, or chop shop, we’ll see.
Our mechanic is at the bottom of a large hill. One could almost park at the top and let the car roll down in the morning. If we could get that parking brake on a timer... this could work!
It would be a smartcar, indeed, if it could stop by the mechanic on the way to buy a loaf of bread. Or something.
