Reporter Barb Scott recently asked Teague Park School fourth-graders: “What does your family do to get the family vehicle ready for spring?”
“Me, my Mom and my sister clean it out.”
“Not really nothing.”
“Mom, Dad and me usually change the winter tires and get all the winter stuff out of the inside; stuff like the brush we use in the winter to get the ice off the windshield and brush off the snow.”
“My grandfather fixes up his motorcycle with new oil and he checks to make sure it’s running right then we take our car to the shop to get it fixed.”
“Um, sometimes we go ride somewhere, then we clean it or go to the place where they wash it. I have two younger sisters and we help clean.”
“Well, we start by getting spring tires, we clean it out and everybody in the family helps. Of course we wait for all the snow to melt then we just drive.”
“My Mom switches the tires and cleans so it’s like a fresh car. She cleans the mats under the steering wheel. We have a van and there is a seat that pops up so she probably opens that up too, then re-checks everything.”
“We wash and repair it in case something happens. We all help.”
“We always clean and my Mom has the snow tires changed at the store.”
“We clean it out and then we put spring tires on and wash it and then it’s done. Mom does everything and I help.”
