paid $30 to get my car washed and vac'd last wednesday.
then on friday my poor car broke. my parents towed it to their house so they could drop it off for me on monday to get it fixed. well there was more wrong with it than the problem on friday. anyway i get it back thursday after paying $1068.00 for repairs and it is FILTHY!!! greasy hand prints and tree sap and bird crap. (my parents kept it under one of their damn trees from friday afternoon till monday morning.)

the sad part is, i am more upset about the wasted wash job than the money it took to get it fixed.

1. That's why I never wash my car
Doing so is certain to wash away something that's holding it together! :rofl:

Sorry to hear you're having troubles...I hope this is the last of them! :-)

3. You too?
I'm afraid the dirt is what holds it together too. :rofl:

2. are you crazy?
I would rather sit in bird shit than have to pay one grand in car repair bills. I would be annoyed about the grease hands though, they should have cleaned that up.

5. That's a good point...
Worth complaining about, I think.

4. Don't wash it again
You must be tempting the car gods or something. :scared:

I would rather wash it several times than repair it once. :)
