first time for everything :p
I took the car to a car wash cuz it was a salt mobile. I picked out what i wanted to be done, wash, clean the wheels and underbody wash to rid the salt.
Going thru the car wash, everything goes well...till I'm sitting there and the brushes and water stop spinning. I hear the wash making this winding down sound and i'm like...hmm.
Then I see all these people (employee's) running along the side of the wash trying to fix something. So one of them comes up to my car and says the hydraulic just went south. Put it in drive and go very slowly :p
So I pull out and he washes the car for me in the self-service bay. Now, the temp is 16 degree's outside. He finishes and I ask him if he had some towels to dry the car. He runs inside and gets some new micro-fiber towels and starts drying...too late. The water droplets are already frozen
After that, he goes back inside and offers me a full refund, so i got a free wash
(and the underbody wash already happened in the beginning, so that was good).
Kinda sux for all those people waiting in line or just arriving to wash their cars

Ya...if u'r not careful, u'r hands will turn into ice too :p
I remember a few years ago when winter was in the 50's and 60's...perfect car washing weather. This year sux for washing yourself, gotta go elsewhere to get that stuff off yer car.
