@edgarblythe,
I remember, only partly, a similar situation. When I last drove, things stayed ok; there is a primo volvo place here, and I didn't dislike them the one time I went there. I also liked an ordinary mechanic, being used to a good one, a neighbor back in Venice.
I'm in a plotz scenario. I am not driving now but that is recent, as I've gotten mildly more rickity. I've had weird eyes, though I didn't know it then, growing apprehension later, diagnosed when I was 48, re night blindness and poor peripheral vision, turned out to be retinitis pigmentosa.
But, mine has not varied. I got a letter from where, I don't remember, I think UCLA, if I had any birth defect.
Yes, I was a blue baby.
I also have little sense of smell.
In the mean time, my vision has been checked forevermore, and has been steady.
Still my same self, I drove a zillion miles and I still have a good record. I will put mine up easily.
