A Little Too Late

The GT uses a new synthetic oil blend ( 5W20 ) and we thought it might be wise to take on a quart in case we ran low between changes. It's our pleasure and policy to seek out and patronize the classic old country stores which survive along the backwater towns and byways of the state.

Here we have pulled up on the tiny town of Dorchester, S.C., which is located in, but is not the seat of Dorchester County. The seat of Dorchester County is St. George, which is also a very small town, but all the people and businesses, tires and temples, nuts and bolts are in Summerville. Go figure.

It looks like we got to Porter's General Store a little too late.
