Car repair


 Picked up the car from some repairs today. Started perfectly but when I started to drive it, it made an awful noise as if I was dragging something beneath it. Out of the parking lot, I pulled over and looked around. Everything looked fine. I pulled back out into traffic when suddenly all the alert lights went off in the dash all at once. I came back to the garage to show them. They thought at first that a belt might have broken, but that wasn't it. Then they surmised that, having washed the car for me on this very cold day, one of wheels had frozen in place and I'd actually dragged it across the icy ground out of the parking lot before it started to rotate. This caused it to trigger every alarm on the dash. Reset, they sent me on my way.
