My inbox has been brimming with press releases lately. Everyone from Danica Patrick's publicist to whoever promotes National Alpaca Farm Days seems to think e-mail blasts to journos are some kind of magical lifeline to keep their businesses afloat.
Most of the stuff I receive goes into the trash, but this one caught my eye as relevant to dream garage readers. First, Shell's contest includes the possibility that you could win a motorcycle or free gas. Plus Rick, the guy profiled in the release, is just too much. I can see cleaning motorcycle parts in Coke or marinating yourself in Leinenkugel's while working on your bike, but scrubbing a Benz with Perrier? Great that he loves his machinery, but I think he's missing the point. Garages are made to get back to your cave man roots. You can go out there and be your disgusting, overindulging, tool-wielding, beer-swilling, autocratic self. I'd like to take Rick out for a beer and lay it all out for him, you know? Dude, loosen up. Drive more, clean less, and Neanderthal it up a bit. Anyway, here's the release . . . enjoy.
