Gateway clean air program

Can be a hassle, espically with older vehicles, and can get costly if you don't pass it.
1. Get your car running yet?

When two people are arguing or having a misunderstanding, 'clearing the air' means having an honest discussion about feelings in order to move past the conflict.
Person A: "I think we need to clear the air after what happened the other day."
Person B: "Alright. What do you want to say?"
Person A: "The other day when you said what you said, it really hurt me."
Person B: "I only said that because you hurt me by saying what you said."
Person A: "Oh I see. Well, I'm sorry I said that. I didn't mean anything bad by it."
Person B: "That's okay. I'm sorry too."
