At some point this past winter - with all of the road construction down East - I managed to drive through some wet road paint. I had finely-dispersed yellow & white spatter all over the driver's side of the car. Today, I took the Camry to Automasters on Dixie Drive/Hwy 64 to be cleaned and detailed - inside and out. They did a BEAUTIFUL job getting the paint off and the car clean. It looks and smells like a new car.
When I dropped-off the car this morning for service, local real estate queen, Billie Wilson, was in the waiting room (it's my understanding that some of my neighbors-on-the-wrong-end-of-Viewmont might be coming out of hibernation with regards to getting something done about our crappy roads & cul-de-sacs - alas, since the state is for-damned-sure not going to do anything about Ms. Wilson's failure to maintain the roads of the community-she-developed to state specs - the only alternative I see is residents uniting to sue Ms. Wilson). Billie was dressed-to-the-nines and getting her Mercedes (the Mercedes she can more easily afford because she didn't do right by all of the homeowners she sold houses to) washed.
It was a classic Asheboro encounter between "rights" and "wrongs". She pretended she didn't know me, and I ignored her.
Anyway, a friend picked me up this morning - and another friend dropped me off when the car was done. It was around 3 PM - and we happened to drive by the new Sheetz gas station at the intersection of Hwy 64 & Dublin Road. The parking lot was full and there was a line around the building to get in ?!?

In my neck of the woods, the "right" types have their motorcars picked up at home and returned, thereby negating the chance of having to be in social contact with the "wrong" types.
Hell, I just go over to the Black Dog Car Wash at Sedgefield and do it myself if I'm feeling "right", and if not, I stay home and do it in the driveway with a pressure washer. Now, if I'm feeling really "right", you know like I could run the world, I pay extra when I pump my own gas at Sheetz, and use the automated wash.
Most of the time, I just wash it at home.....
