I love the car wash.
I remember from when I was a kid...it was fun, and magical, and well...FUN! We'd go on a Saturday morning then. Sometimes you could ride in the car, but at other places you had to get out and kinda walk along watching your car automatically go through the wash. It was kinda neat seeing the car do all that by itself...magical to a kid, I guess. Now, in these automated washes, you generally get to ride through, watching as the brushes and the foam and the water and who knows what else engulf your car...it's like Disneyland!
I don't often go through a car wash. Don't take the Z through (the horror of the thought, even!). I do take the truck through from time to time, though. YAY!
I usually go to the one down at the SoDo Costco. It does an adequate job. They "improved" it a while back, and actually do a worse job now, but that's progress I guess. They used to have the colored foam...you know, like on that commercial with the kid and the dad riding through, the Satchmo version of "Over the Rainbow" playing...blue, pink, yellow...now it's just white. A disappointment to me, but it must be progress. It also does a fine job of putting tire dressing on...that always looks good anyway. Now, if they could just figure out how to get the back end of the X, I'd be all set...it's not like it's the only SUV in Seattle running through there, so...progress, anyone?
