Labor Day tends to sneak up on me these days. My formal school days are behind me, and my kids have embarked on their own adult lives, leaving this milestone holiday as little more than a long weekend bookmarking the far side of summer. Not to diminish from the intent of Labor Day, a holiday made federal in 1894 to celebrate the achievements and contributions of American labor, and a fitting tribute, falling after the heat of summer, a day to rest and reflect.

But for many, Labor Day marks the beginning of school season, and whether that means going back to school locally or embarking on a college or trade school education far from home, having a vehicle that’s safe and reliable is one more detail that eases the cost and stress of the new year.
