  • You can say that again! It says “jazzy”, either her name or describing her rims?  (It is a yellow Ford Mustang if you can not tell.)
  • Must be true? If they say “professional” it must be true.  It is on the side of a laundry mat.  It seems like everyone is starting a car wash and also closing them. Their old sign, or maybe new people?
  • Mars TRC-6512 MDB Coin acceptor problem I have never had a problem with my MEI coin acceptor, but it is terrible trying to clear the jam from the bottom chute. Of course I probably was not doing it right but that is another post.   (The coin catcher was not full but I wish t...
  • Make hot water in the air? I really like the idea of strapping things to the ceiling or making a porch or shelf in your equipment room.  At one of my Dad’s washes this is how his boiler is mounted.
  • Mist N Sip X-Treme bottle for dorks?  Do people really use products like this?  But if it is X-treme maybe I should try it?

  • Have you ever run out of chemicals? To test the chemicals I made a foam brush setup and even used a “super foamer” (second photo).  I hooked up the yellow air compressor to a large broken air compressor in my garage.  I also have a bucket full of water to clea...

  • Your new car might KILL you? According to healthycar.org the “new car scent” is really toxic chemicals in your car.  All I need to do now is harness that toxic chemical to make my car smell better!  http://www.healthycar.org/press.releases.php
  • Spot Shot hit the spot Greg suggested trying some Spot Shot and today I purchased some. I will be interested to see if it sells. I purchased it from the Dollar Store. The person behind me had to ask how much somthing cost, like always. I should have said $...
  • Go GREEN: recycle like Elio Valero, 42! This guy is my recycling hero; he stole a 40 foot aluminum street lamp and he is “disabled”.  What the Police should have done was watch what Miami Recovery & Recycling place was going to do with it.  They said they don&...
  • Condoms are for Married people only! I was going to the restroom at a “nice” gas station (the kind with the condom machine). The vendor says that only married people can use the condoms unless you want AIDS.  Well, I am paraphrasing (read below). “Althoug...
