- Ummm... Gee, back here in the middle of nowhere
- (Indiana) we still have free car washes put on by local youth
- groups and the like at our local gas stations.
-
- Hand washed. Hand dryed. But if you really want
- quality, nobody knows your car better than you, so you should
- it.
-
- (I speak from experience here, at both ends of the
- car, the washer and washee.)
-
- As the washer, I was dedicated to give the best job-hey,
- maybe I could get a tip, but I had to do a quick job because
- maybe another car will come by and be a bigger tipper, or
- actually bother to tip.
-
- As the washee, I noticed the washers being in the same
- hurried rush as I was, and wondered what people would think of
- my if I was just as thorough in my daily shower (Can you say
- STINKY GUY!) I thought so.
-
- So, I decided to get off my lazy but and wash my car
- myself. Course, this was when I actually cared about my car
- and had the time to wash it. Now I have a different car that
- I really don't care to much for.
-
- Just my $.02
