When I started going out with ACWGF, one of the things that she did, that boggled my mind quite frankly, was get her car washed. The rest of this post is going to explain that statement, so hang on for the ride.
First of all, the exterior of her car gets cleaned much more frequently than the interior of the car. I don’t understand how all the stuff that’s in her trunk, much less the stuff in her back seat, can accumulate like that when she is fairly dutiful about getting the exterior cleaned. It’s like if someone were to have plastic surgery because they were concerned with their looks, and then go drink the warm grease leaving from the cooked bacon on a Sunday morning. The inside and outside don’t match up, know what I mean? Anyway, it’s not enough to really be something that bothers me, so I just clean a few handfuls of junk out every now and then.
Now, 90% of the time she gets her car cleaned at a drive-through wash place. The other 10% she cleans it herself, and she scrubs the shit out of it. Front to back, top to bottom, inside and out.
Okay, back to the other 90% of the time. Whenever we go through the drive-through wash place, I get kind of excited. Not in the filthy way you were thinking about, but more in a little kid way. See, I always washed my car by hand when I was growing up. One of my ex girlfriends only washed her car at one of those power wash places. So the first time I was ever in a drive-through car wash was when I started going out with ACWGF. I think I was 21 or 22, and I haven’t exactly led a sheltered life, though I guess you could argue that I have now. That brings my total number of drive through car wash experiences to between 10 and 20. It’s still fun for me, I just stopped keeping track.
I think the greatest part is when WE go to one place and get the 6$ “ultimate” wash, and the little read out screen says, “YOU HAVE JUST PURCHASED THE BEST WASH MONEY CAN BUY!” It’s funny enough to me that I took a picture of it. I’ll post it when I figure out how to get it online.
