Friday At The Carwash

[04silverado1500]

Well Friday i left work early (around noon) so that i could get home and go to the local town celebration which includes a cruise night. The cruise night is pretty cool and involves a bunch of old cars gathering and cruising through downtown Lakeville. Well since i was planning on having my G8 in the area and not having time to wash it myself i decided to take it through a local car wash in the area. There are many locations and usually i stick with two specific ones. But Friday i was in a different area so i took it through that one. well as i watched go through the wash from the windows inside i noticed this one had a different washing mechanism which scrubbed the car in a weird direction/angle from the other locations. well not thinking anything of it i walked to the end of it waited for them to wipe down my car and drove home. Upon coming home i came around to the passenger rear door to grab my briefcase and noticed my gas cover is CLEAN RIPPED OFF! (the mechanism had pushed open the cap and then the spinners pulled it clear off!) At this point the F-bomb are flying and my mom and sister rushed out to the garage to see what was wrong. Boy was i pissed. I called up the car wash and told them the story and they went on to tell me that they had the cap and that they would put it back on. I decided to drive back to the car wash and some dip shit wanted to put the cap back on even after it had been run over and dinged up he continued to tell me how cheap new cars were put together and really started to bother me. At this point i felt like belittling the guy badly (lol couldn't help it) and asked where the owner was. He told me the owner had just driven off and that he wouldn't be able to replace the cap. I told him this was not the first instance where they had screwed up my families cars and told him about my carpet getting damaged (covered by warranty) and my dads rim getting curbed by the guard rail (his bmw 7series at that!) and told him this was starting to get unacceptable. I handed him my business card and told him if he didn't get in contact with the owner i would. I went on to tell him that my father and i are the owners financial advisers....talk about wide eyed brick shitting. Needless to say they are replacing my gas cap but what a tool. People these days....

Yeah, that sucks man. Now stay far far away from any automatic wash that has anything that touches the paint.
