    to wash your car?

    We had a break in the weather over the weekend, so I cleaned up the Great White Beast. I don't mind doing it. In fact, I do it primarily to tick the neighbors off.

    But what I do mind is EVERY time I clean the car I find more stuff to fix. This weekend's session caused me to find a missing center cap, a broken lens cover on a fog light, more scratches and dings than I care to confess to.

    This is why they make heart medicine.

    I hate that too. I don't find stuff wrong that often, but normally when I do it's when I'm washing my car.

    I wash my car and a couple of neighbors cars and from that it has developed into a side business when the weather permits.

    It annoys me too. More rock chips and scratches on a black car when they go all the way down to the white primer.

    More than that, this year is the repeated need for salting the roads. Now they have something new I've not heard of until recently...BRINING...so lets go out and put a brine solution pre treatment on the road first.

    Yeah I heard that term the first time I moved here. BRINING. So much for a southern car never seeing salt.

    Apparently, some of them have never seen a white chick do stuff for herself. I find they have nothing better to do than stare while I'm working, while their own cars cry out in pain.

    Hell yea it does when it rains here in florida. Sometimes we don't get rain for weeks and all the dirt builds up on the roads and its like you've drove through a snow storm. Or your near an area were there clearing for new houses and there burnning the trees. It sucks

    We have 3 black cars and a dark blue one. I told my husband that I'm quiting washing the cars. It's just depressing. If its not door dings, it's cat scratches down the hood.
    I think I know why the neighbors are starring at you The men are liking it and the women are jealous. I bet they throw dirt at your car when your not looking.haha

    I don't have a dog anymore My husband has a little taco bell dog. Unfortunately, he's inside. I used to have a rott, but because my husbands dog would pee when it got scared, my dog started to pee over it to cover it up. Thats alot of pee. I gave him to our tattoo guy. I still visit him on his birthday. He wouldn't have been mean to a cat anyway. He's a big baby. Just wants to play.

    The neighbors cat sometime sits on the hood of my Cobra and always sits on the 01 Monte. I ran out of my house and scared the **** out of that cat. Needless to say that cat doesn't come over any more!

    I use a pressure washer on our farm that has a burner for getting the water hot and it will take paint off if there is a chip on the car, I had a chip in my trucks front windshield and it exploded the chip into a gouge and huge cracks. I tend to stand back quite a ways.

    Who in the right mind would not watch their hot neighbor wash her car anyway?

    Maybe they don't like to see their husbands watching you wash your car
