Default i had to do an emergency wash on my car last night in fvckin 25 deg weather...and it was windy.

i was driving on I-95 behind a truck and all of a sudden i smell this crap like hydraulic fluid...my first thought was oh fvck what broke now? then i realise its all over my windshield. I look at the truck and theres a nice spray of fluid coming from the "tractor" part of the big rig. fvckin sh*t sprayed all over my car, i hit the wipers to clear the windshield and it smears like whoa!

so at 1am last night i ran to the self serve carwash in hackensack and sprayed down my car for 6 mins in the freezing cold. i sat there going thru each pressure wash step the stupid machine does kicking myself the entire time for taking my wash mit out of the car the day before *doh*

the only cool thing about it was on rinse it doesnt use as hot was as during the soap cycle so i sprayed it full blast straight into the air and it came down *almsot* like snow...maybe a wet snow...which quickly iced up and i slipped on. brilliant.
