Q: I see you recommend waxing your car twice a year. I have owned more than 30 cars in my life and have never waxed one of them. When my car comes out of the car wash, it looks has good as any of my neighbors' cars. Have you sold out to the wax companies or should I have my eyes tested?

A: Sold out? That’s impossible. I am having too much fun writing this column to risk getting fired. Not everybody goes to the car wash. Many of us prefer to wash our own cars in the shade of a big tree with a cold beer. As to your eyes, see your optometrist.
