So I'm at the car wash..

CQ7String · 12-31-2003, 07:18 AM

For some reason, I always have a metric ####ton of change in my car. So I'm at the car wash, and like a jackass I drop $5 in the quarter machine, add it to the already full cubby in my truck and head over to the 'vac.

$1.25 in the slot and off I go, happily vaccuming away all the wire bits from my stereo install, sand, etc.

I get the driver's side lookin' good, so it's time to do the passenger side. I toss the ol' hose across the car so I can walk around and start and.. SCHLOOOP - up goes about $20-25 in quarters.

It kind of sucked, but I couldn't help but laugh about it.

At least you know you were paying for a POWERFUL VAC!!!

U should have asked the guy there to get your quarters! But that is funny!!!

Mine kinda sucks.

My son and I drove moms car to carwash to get it cleaned for the holidays. All is fine until we try to drive out and the roll up door wont open I back up and the rear roll up door wont open. So there we sit while I contemplate my options. I left my cell phone at home. I get out and try to force the door up but no chance.

I seepishly grin at my son sitting in the car. I notice a door on the wall and began banging on it. Long story short some one got us out 30 minutes later

Yep- its funny how those things suck your quarters but not the dirt. Over here, you have to pick up the dirt and put it in the hose vac.

i sucked my pager up once in highschool. luckily the guy that ran the place was there...opened it up and I had to sift through all the crap in there to get it. it was once of the sickest things ive ever done...who knows whats in there?! worst part was it didnt even work anymore, not to mention i didnt want to have the thing anywhere near me.

i have a friend that dropped his keys through the drain grate in the actual wash stall when i was with him in the middle of winter. i pulled up the grate and he went swimming.

You should have gone back to the same vacuum with a fair amount of "doggie business" and make the owner work a little for his ill found gain.....there are no free rides
