I stopped going to an automatic car wash because the drier sensor was set so low it saw under my truck and would turn off the blowers. It is a stock 4X4 Ex, i no longer go there.

I saw this new invention the other day. It's a building shaped like a tube. You drive in dirty on one end and you come out clean on the other end. I think they call it a car wash. You need one Brother. :-)

How hard can it be to hear over a stock V-10?!

BTW, I almost never eat at McD`s (maybe once or twice a year) and when I do I feel sick afterward. just the thought of it now is making my stomach turn!!!

Speaking of going through a drive through........................ easy, easy, e-a-s-y!YouTube - Bus Stuck in Drive Through

Went to Vegas with a buddy two years ago for the NASCAR race. I have an 04 Ex with 4" lift and 35" Toyo MT's. We decided to make a run down to the Forum Shops at Ceasar's Palace one of the nights. I pulled through self parking and couldn't find a spot but I noticed that the Valet had plenty of spots. Now of course it took a 5 point turn to get back into the Valet lane, and when I pulled up I turned it off and got out. The kid working there, along with his boss, stood at the driver's door. They looked up, front and then to the back and finally back at each other. The kid looks at me and points over between a bunch of high end Lambo's and Ferrari's. He said, "Keep your keys and you can park it right there in the middle of those cars, no charge. We are worried we will damage your truck." I looked at my buddy and we just cracked up. I backed it between a sweet Lambo and a bright red Ferrari, locked it and laughed! Imagine they were too scared to drive a big truck but not the six figure sports cars!

Absolutely the funniest moment, aside from the wife making it in to the parking garage that had a 7'6" marked entrance and a 6'9" exit causing a big traffic jam while she backed out the entrance!

Every diesel I have seen in a drive thru shuts the motors off when it comes time to order and pull up at the window.

Depends on my mood if I shut'er down or tell them they have a sh_tty speaker and leave. Maybe if the equipment were not placed on level with the pansies it would work!
