Charity Car Wash??

And a charity car wash it was.  LOL.  Last weekend i took Camper (my new car) camping.  He not only made the freeway drive ( a feat Vex, my previous car, seemed to have all kinds of traouble doing) but he also made it up 30 miles of dirt road up a mountain.  It was white knuckle driving and he got a few scrathes and there were some ominous sounding thumps and thuds, but he made it up and down.  (I’ll need to write Ford ans let them know their hardy little Focus made it to a camping spot where the only other vehicles where Toyota trucks..but i’ll so that later)

anyway, my car was a bit of a wreck.  Dirt and mud everywhere. I needed to get him washed but put it off for a week.  Then Sunday while walking Kala to go get my GoFast for the day, i passed a kids highschool carwash.  It was for the band. The sign said they wanted a new tuba.  It seemed like a decent cause.    so i took out 20 dollars from my bank that i could hardly spare and went to get my car washed. 

(it helped that one of the teachers was pretty cute..)

But it was the most disorganized car wash ever.  The front of the car got sprayed down and so did the right side. then someone came over ot wash the left side with a soapy sponge.  someone else came back and sprayed down the front of the car again and rinsed off the left side. 

Then someone sponded down the right side and another person came over to dry off the right side of the car with a towel.  Then a new Dodge charger pulled in and the kids all went to that.  The teacher sent some of them off to other cars again and so a girl picked up a second hose and sprayed down the right side of my car that the kid had just dried off. 

It was chaotic and i couldn’t help but crack up laughing as i watched these kids move here and there and randomly do one thing or another.  i gave them the 20 bucks (the car wash charged nothing, it was donations only) and went back home.

Later that evening i noticed there still seemed to be a layer of duct of Camper’s left side.  I just shook my heaad.  It had been entertaiing and a good cause.  It had to earn some kind of points with Loki.
