Did it sound and feel like this <whiping head side to side, letting my cheeks flap, saliva flying all over the place>

Don't worry ... people have done worse ... at least you're the only one who saw yours. Good that you have a sense of humor about it.

I think you deserve some sort of Environmental Award for saving water by washing yourself and your Vette together.

At least you reacted quickly to get the window up. I have to admit I have done the same thing before - had the passenger window slightly cracked and began to wash the car.

Sounds like something I'd do!

And I do car washes every week, the guys at Oasis in Plano even pop my hood and wipe down the motor and underside of the hood. Paint stays in great shape. Seth, detail guysat 21st Century MC says her paint is one of the best black daily drivers he's seen. I'll take his word for it!

Cya!

I knew Id be in danger of you guys sending the vette police out to repo the car just for telling the story but I though it was too funny to keep to myself. It was only a laser wash; I just couldn’t stand having to be in work all day knowing I had a bug grave yard all over the car.
