Terrible Car Wash...

Ever been to a self-service coin-operated car wash? Well, if you haven't, consider yourself lucky. They're terrible. At least the one I just went to on S. 3rd behind K-Mart in Abilene, TX. I spend $6.00 worth of quarters trying to get my truck clean. I didn't use all the options on the selector. I used (1)tire wash (2)bug gut loosener (3)pre-wash (4)foamy soap wash (5)high pressure rinse (repeated steps 4 and 5 three times each). After this, I drove straight home, only to find (1)my tires were still orangesh-brown from mud still being on them (2)chrome rims not shiny, had a thick haze on them (3)dirt and spots all over the body of the vehicle and (4)bug guts all over the front. I then used my own supplies to wash the whole truck again. My bottle of soap, tire cleaner, sponge, and water probably cost about the same as my coin operated self-wash of $6.00 AND I could probably wash my truck 7-10 more times with these same supplies before having to buy more.

Now, you may be thinking, "Daniel, it takes so much longer and so much more energy to scrub the truck yourself than it does at a coin-operated car wash." Well, this is also false. My hand got just as tired waving the high-pressure sprayer as it did doing my karate-kid, "daniel-san", wax-on-wax-off circles with my sponge. Also, it took me a good 35-40 minutes at the coin car wash and only 15 min at home.

Here are a few other advantages of washing my car at home:
(1)No hose dangling from the ceiling/wall to bang in to my truck while I wash.
(2)The crazy west TX wind does not blow all the water out of my sponge before it gets on my truck. At the coin-wash, the wind was blowing thru my stall so fast and furious, the water/soap was blowing away before it even sprayed over to my truck.
(3)I can dry and vacuum my truck for no additional cost.

To sum things up: Don't go to the coin-operated car wash.
If you don't have a driveway or street to wash your car in yourself, come to my house. I'll let you use my driveway for free.

Intruders? Bring 'em on...

I'd hate to be the villian who messes with either of these:

Okay, so I keep saying this is the end, but we just keep adding, so here are some more pics of the bar (I really do think it's done this time):

Bittersweet Goodbye...

Well, it's a sad night. I'm driving to Goldthwaite tomorrow to meet the prospective buyers of my Titan. It looks very promising that the deal will go down. As excited as I am to be out from under that debt and having the ability to put more money towards student loans and our house, I'm really sad to see the Titan go.
