I got stuck in the car wash yesterday!

BS
(prerunner here) would have engaged my locker and tore down the building, falling on the jackass behind me.

 

I ran a car wash and would still wash it by hand if I wanted a really good job done. My friends thought I was crazy.

Remember...Some carwashes REUSE the wash water and use new water for the rinse cycle. So if you live somewhere that they put salt on the roads and decide to take it to the car wash to get the salt off...well you get the picture!

 

omg
Anyone in here understand what happened.
The only time this man ever used his 4x4 was to make it over the little hump in a car wash?!?! uhm... thats like saying.
Good thing i got that towing package. Today I had to pull a tricycle outta a ditch! Whew good thing i spent that extra cash.

 

^^^ Dude why do you have to be like that?

Theres no need for that. He was just telling everyone that he got stuck and it was the forst time he used the 4H is his new truck.

Not everyone has to be offroad to use the 4x4 system..... Chill out man

 

LOL
I can relate -

I was installing new carpet in my basement, that the side yard had this "hump". (This was in my previous truck, a normal 2WD with no locker)

I backed my loaded truck up to the basement door so we can drag the large roll of carpet in, I threw in some remnants of old padding, but didn't add any weight.

The grass was wet.

I got stuck in my own yard.

I bounced between R and D - I rocked the truck -

Stuck in my own damn yard, LOL

I had to get my wife to drive it while I jumped my fat ass up and down on the rear bumper.

Soon afterwards, I had a shiny new 4WD taco in the driveway.

I then started wheeling in something other than my Jeep - ALL THE WASTED YEARS! LOL

 

Some areas with water restrictions won't allow you to hand wash. My area this past year has had extreme water restrictions & have kept them in place. Plus it is hard to wash a vehicle when it is 30 or 40 degrees.

 

haha thats actually pretty funny.

You jumping on the back of your truck while your wife was driving is just the funniest thing

 

Where is Bethelem?

It sounds to me your close to ATL. the water restrictions

 

When I had my S-10 Xtreme I was only about 4-5 inches off the ground and actually did get stuck getting out of one of these washes a couple times. My tire held the lever down and as I went to drive off, the tire rolled off the lever and it popped up and caught my side skirts. DOH! Luckily that time I was able to pull out backwards. Second time I had to get my wife to get out and hold the lever down as I drove out hahaha

 

Dont some of the machines hold you back or what your saying, get caught a roll back down on the levers the machine will think it a new car and start all over again?

 

There are new carwashes that do not harm your paint. Around here they are popping up everywhere. $4 carwash with free vacuum. Plus they recycle the water.
Here is an example of one: http://www.quickspacarwash.com/

I've been using these for years. When I meet someone asking about my truck. They are shocked it is an 05 & so shiny.

 

Theres a place like that in FL called Super Suds. They do a good job just a little over priced

 

I'm out towards Athens on 316. 20 minutes from Athens & 45 minutes to Atlanta(where I work, DOH!) The whole area Atlanta, Metro Atlanta, & booming counties were heavily restricted this past year.

 

+1

wtf??

LOL, I don't use car washes anymore, they scratch the hell out of the paint.....

 

Haha yeah my grandma breaks that rule by wtaering her flowers at night.

Its getting to be Very bad now

 

omg
I can see it now
"Cops is filmed on location in a city near you!
Ya we got reports of an elderly woman watering some daisies...
Were just gonna drive by see if theirs anything out of the ordinary...
Ya their she is... WE GOT A RUNNER! You chase her ill go around the block."

 

I did it when I would get home at 5:40am. Also a trick around the restriction. Have a landscaper plant a small amount, maybe a couple hundred worth. Then they get a permit for you for 10weeks of watering. And you can water eveything. My builder does this during restrictions on houses he is trying to sell. If the permit runs out, he gets the landscaper to plant some more for another permit.

 

haha thats a good idea

 

Dont be makin fun of my grandma now.

 

Hey I wish I could wash my car by hand in the winter. Simply impossible, I have thought about running a hot water line to a old shower mixing valve through my garage but my garage is not insulated nor heated. I considered piping it so I cold then drain lines each time but then it would be just a big mess. Only solution is to use the carwash especially a few days after 14" of snow drops and the salt spray and road grime are all over the car.

So for the Southern Folks that have never lived through a New England winter we sadly NEED to use a carwash on occasion.
