The Great Car Wash Shortage of 2021

Man, we had a snowstorm the other day, and we got hit with brown snow. Not a very common thing here, but our winter has been pretty dry. So wind storms out in the west desert are stirring up the dirt and salt and sending it our way. Mix in snow and you have every car in the region looking like it hasn’t been washed in 10 years. And social media exploded with people freaking out about long car wash lines and the filtration/recycling systems getting pushed to the limit. Cars were getting scratched up and not cleaned. And in scumbag fashion, all the gas station car washes raises their prices because every lemming in Utah just had to get their car washed yesterday. The comments in social media were pretty golden. But I went out for dinner and saw a line of cars a quarter of a mile long near my house. Ridiculous!

Anyway, I didn’t want to leave the dirt, silt, salt, and other pollutants on my Xterra either. But I have this crazy invention at my house called a garden hose, and I made a spoof video that has made more than a few people around here chuckle. So I thought I’d share it with y’all. First the Covid, then the toilet paper shortage, and now The Great Car Wash Shortage of 2021. :D

Haha nice! Yesterday I drove over to our crappy neighborhood diy car wash that’s NEVER very busy and there was a line. Said nope and drove back home. Washed off the windows so we could at least see... the cars can wait.

Then today we got it properly dirty so it’ll be worth washing later.

I read this whole thing thinking, why are they waiting in line instead of rinsing off at home? Funny.

It was funny to see. I had read about long lines during the day, but didn’t quite believe it until I saw them. Fools.
