It couldn't take the pressure!

The most frustrating thing EVER happened on Monday.

Monday afternoon I found a few quarters and decided I should stop at a gas station and vacuum/clean out my car. After about 45 minuets of cleaning it was practically perfect! All I had left was to run it through the car wash.

(Keep in Mind: I have a Mazda 3 with manual locks and windows.)

I made sure all the doors were closed and locked and checked to make sure all the windows were rolled up and proceeded into the car wash.

I drove in and stopped. The Soap went around along with a light mist of water and I waited. After the soap soaked for a moment the high pressure water came around. It made a full circle around the car and then started to go around for the 2nd time. The water went around the windshield, and my drivers side door. Suddenly I felt water running down my neck and saw water spraying past my head! ALL OVER MY CLEAN CAR!

The pressure from the first time had forced the window down a little and when it came around again the water coming through forced it down another few inches.

Here are a few pictures of my WET car


Although it was frustrating that what I had just done was now dripping wet, and I was dripping wet, I couldn't help but laugh and take a picture.

This was a good lesson for me...
Things happen in life. How we react to those things is the determining factor.
I chose to laugh, and am still laughing!

That's pretty brutal though especially this time of year getting as cold as it is and whatnot. Your pour car has been though a lot, isn't that the same one that was broke into?
