Car washing outsourced

July 27, 2005

I've made an executive decision: I think I'm going to go back to having my car washed by undocumented labor.

In the 3 years I've had this car no one has ever touched the paint but me. And what have I gotten for my efforts? Hundreds of hours of washing and waxing, and my bumper just looks like crap. (This picture was taken after I washed it-- it's chipped and ruined.)

My reasoning up to now has been that I would do a better job than a professional service--- but I'm not satisfied with my own work, so why not just save myself the time and let somebody else floss my spoiler?

Those places are like $15 to wash your car. And sometimes they stall trying to drive it onto the track thing. Is 1 hour of your time worth $15? How about after taxes?

Dear Rus, Please don't censor yourself on my account! I know a few choice words and sometimes I even USE them! p.s. Sorry about your bumper....at least you have one:) p.s.s. Kyrgyzstan was unbelievable and Taylor is great!

Oh, don't worry. I don't censor myself for you. I censor myself because my boss reads this. :)

Glad to hear you had a good time with Taylor! I read all about it on his blog. Ah, web technology.
