The Car Wash

So...

 I drove home for christmas, it snowed like crazy- then drove back, salt all over the road and by default my car. 

 Monday I decide it's time for a car wash!

 I was supposed to be at a client all day, but the client wasn't ready for me so I had some time to spare- & 2 errands- grocery store, car wash.

Grocery store: Check

Enter: Car Wash.

I should've drove away after I pulled up and realized I couldn't pay there, so I have to reverse, park, go inside- now back to the wash.

As I'm pulling in I wonder... "should I have folded my mirrors in?"

 I have a 4Runner (like everyone else in Denver, mildly annoying) so it's a big car and a tight fit.

"Oh well, nothing's gonna happen... "

The wash starts up, I get on my iphone- facebook ap, great way to kill time.

THEN I here A loud noise- look up, the spinning brush has ripped my mirror the opposite way of where it should be, bended it back.

I freak out,

drop the phone,

hit my window button-

of course the window it automatic so it slides ALL THE WAY DOWN,
no time.

I reach out- getting wet- pull my mirror in.

Well, right about this time the previously mentioned spinning brush comes up from behind me and before I CAN pull back into the car- it slaps me in the face!

Not only do i have car wash face, my entire interior/ work clothes & phone are soaked.

I learned two valuable lessons on Monday.

#1. Fold mirrors in before entering the car wash.

#2. The spinning brush is not cotton rags as previously suspected, it's rubber.
