Say what?!!!

I've never had a car wash that had you put a baggie over the rear blade.


I know that new cars come with them. I just figured the people were too dumb to remove it.

Yep, full service car wash. I saw them in Indy all the time when I lived there. Mike's Car Wash and Kopetsky's both did it.

Well, that explains away my theory.

I've never used a full service car wash.

round here the dumbaz clean hand yuppies and soccer moms put them on broken/missing wipers so the arms don't scratch the window. I don't know why there is a rash of bags on rear wipers this time of year but for a while I thought it had something to do with scraping ice off the back window and accidentally breaking the wiper. That theory doesn't hold up though because these are the same fools I see going down the Xway @70mph with just a little bit of windshield cleared.

they're in cincy, too. i'm a big fan of Mike's...their $8 express wash is awesome, and they let you drive through again if you're not satisfied.

I know but I don't have a car that I can take through Mike's anymore. My daily is a Wrangler with a soft top, the fun car is the turbo, and the wife's car is a Z3 convertible.

If there leaving the bag on, I wouldn't call them "full service"!

The snappy car wash that I take my BMUU Touring to have wash during the winter months, put on the plastic bag on the rear wiper. Probably don't want to pay for a wiper arm for a BMUU.

OK, since you're pretty clueless how about just keeping them to yourself. Can you understand that?

If you failed to get the intended humor and sarcasm of that last statement, I fail to see the humor in your avatar and you should probably put that where it belongs too.

Oh wait. You're from Ky. No humor about that subject there, is there.

Is this FastPaster all over again?

I believe the term 'bosco' itself is rascist. Perhaps you should put that where it belongs.

I didn't take anything here to the personal level you two did.

And then it DID hit me after a couple of PM's from normal people about the return of the trolls.....

Yep, been here less than 2 years and 7K+ posts? Have a nice day!
