coin-op follies

Tex Star Detail

Formerly TexasTB
With a week of bad weather, ice and rain non stop, we had a 60* day finally. Not a cloud in the sky. My truck was looking pretty bad. Mud cacked in the wheel wells and on the running boards.

I wanted to run to the car wash and blow the mud out. I didn't want a bunch of mud in my driveway when I washed it, so I took it there to blast the mud. I had running around to do, so I went later in the day.

When I pulled up to a carwash, it was packed. Wait....it was PACKED!

Cars out to the road, and this was a 2 bay auto and @10-12 bay DIY.
Lines out the wa-zoo. SO I go down the road to the next one.....same thing.
Then I remember a tiny wash, hardly anyone there ever.....again...packed.
I waited 20 minutes for a bay. I wasn't driving around anymore.

While I was sitting in my truck, I watched the people "wash" their vehicles...lol.

The way they ran over the car so fast was amazing. popping in quarters left and right. I swear a guy rinsed his car for 10 minutes.
Then another run out of money and leave with a half dirty, half soapy car.:passout:

The one that got me, was the muddy Suburban. Looked like it was stuck in a mud pit. Smeared the mud around with the brush, hung the brush up, rinsed, and left. Next car in the bay.......... black BMW:surrender And of course...they used the muddy brush........

I was tempted to leave some magnetic business cards in each bay, but being a business owner, I do not want another business advertising in my business.
I bit my tongue, rinsed the mud from my wells, and went home to wash the truck...............
