Expensive Car Wash

I would never pay $9,000.00 for a car wash. Even for my SD F350...

Would you? If you had the money?

Especially not that guy. I saw the way he was fondling that Maserati. I wouldn't even let my wife get that friendly with my truck.

Did anybody else catch the comments about the bucket? "Specially imported from America"? It's a freakin' Home Depot Homer bucket! They just about give them away!

Some people are really **** about there cars. This is really true in the sport car world. The guy in question here puts about 80 hours into every car. Most people in the US never put 80 hours into there cars for cleaning and waxing in there lifetimes. I really never understood the depth of car care you could go to until I bought the Vette. Not that I would ever spend that kind of money though.

Don't worry about those $9,000 car washes, I'm doing them for only $900. That's ninety percent off. Call for appointment.
