Annual Car Wash

I did my annual car wash last week. My boss was out of town and the weather was going to be 70 degrees this weekend so I figured it’d be best to take care of that task in the morning before I head in to the office. I knew the car wash lines would be INSANE this weekend and that feeling of urgency to wash my car never sticks with me for long. Best that I handled it immediately. Before I went through the car wash, I retrieved lots of good recycling from my back seat & gathered up all the hats, scarves & gloves so that I can pack them up with the winter stuff. I discovered not 1, not 2, but THREE umbrellas!! About two dollars in change. There were 3 balled up Wendy’s bags, an endless number of empty coffee cups from Dunkin Doughnuts, a dress I’ve been meaning to get altered for months now, and a plethora of pens and pencils. I get my new CD player installed on Wednesday – so I’ll be able to listen to Will Hoge in the car with my sun roof open in no time. All the recent spring like weather makes all this much more exciting!

At the car wash I was approached by a very large black man. He was was gettin’ down to slow jams over there while drying off his car – and I guess he just thought I needed to make a friend. Or a boyfriend. He had a big ole smile and in his most sultry, slow jam kinda-mood voice said, “Hey pretty lady – how you doin’ today?” He proceeded to convince me that I needed my tires to be sprayed with his magic tire spray stuff. It would really pimp up my car or something, he said. He went on and on about how much he “respected a female” that cared so much about her car. He noted how hard I seemed to be working to make my car look nice and for that I should allow him to spray (“free of charge”) all my tires with his tire magic. I was flattered! It was nice to get the credit I deserved for purchasing a $6 car wash at the gas station! It takes dedication to drive through that bristly wash room once a year! THANK YOU car wash Mac-Daddy for the praise I needed.

Since he was so generous in his compliments I allowed him to spray my tires with the magic tire spray love potion. And he was right! That shit made my tires look dope! Dope I tell you!! Unfortunately, the drive through car wash didn’t get all the grime from my factory hub caps....so basically I had shiny black tires with dingy, dirty, grimy factory hub-caps --

I drove off and waved a big thank you to the car wash mac daddy – but I decided not to leave Eric for him. I didn’t get the impression that he knew me that well......
