    A reason why Scott painted his car under cover is that it needed time to dry and that is best done without allowing debris and insects to stick to the wet paint while it dries or get rained on.

    I can’t deal with the loud breathing/exhaling at the end of every sentence from the lady that tells this story. I have tried to push through and keep listening, but it is just so apparent and it is painful to listen to
