Panic sets in

When I got my oil changed last, I went to a different location (got sick of Jiffy Lube). They’ve got a car wash there, and they gave me a card for a free car wash (the cheapest one, but still … it’s a free car wash). I was a little leery about going through it. I went through it only one other time. And it broke down that time with my car IN the car wash. They sent me across town to a sister store to finish my car wash. By that time the soap had dried on my roof and left nice marks. I think they’re FINALLY gone (this happened a couple years ago).

But my car was a little dirty. After parking at the fair grounds during the fair, my car needed a bath. So I decided to stop on my way home from work (since I drive past it on the way). I went in to get my code and then drove around back to go through. I punched in my code and rolled up my window. I rolled up my window. WHY THE HELL WON’T MY WINDOW GO UP??

I’ve mentioned previously that my driver’s side window sometimes just dies. But it’s been fine for quite some time. And it picks today of all days to die. When I’m waiting to go through a car wash. A car wash that throws water all over my car. If the window doesn’t go up … I’M GONNA GET WET!!

Luckily it was only about 1 inch to 3/4 inch from being closed. I pushed it up and kept trying to roll it up. By the time the soapy water hit, it was only open a crack. And I managed to get it completely closed before the water rushed faster. Only a little soap and water leaked in. Thank goodness for that. I really thought I was gonna get soaked. Damn gremlins. :censored:
