The Car Wash

I finally figured out how to work the winter car wash system here in Missouri. It’s kind of crazy. I’ve never been in a place that stayed below freezing for such long periods of time. So, it snows like crazy. The salt and dirt are all over the roads. It stays like this for a long time and cars get nasty! I’m talking salt rocks forming and drying all the way over the car door handles even if you park in your garage. It makes me crazy!

If you’re lucky you’ll have 1 or 2 days where the weather is above freezing and the slushy splashing ice all over the roads dry up enough to sneak in a wash. You have to go that day and baby, it is packed! If you don’t catch those days you’ll end up with a gross car the entire winter, or you’ll have to pull out a hose and wash yourself in the freezing outdoors and hope your faucets don’t freeze and burst.
