Ok, so last Friday night it’s down to 8 degrees (F) and headed for below zero up here in the great white just south of north. (Rochester, NY) It’s been snowing on and off and we’ve gotten maybe a foot of fluffy stuff in the last 3 days. So what am I thinking? Man, the poor truck’s a mess and it’s too cold to wash it in the garage. Sad, huh?

So what does any good Ford truck owner do? Yupper, I call the local Delta Sonic “touch less” car wash and ask the girl if they’re actually open and dumb enough to wash stuff. “If you’re that crazy, so are we” she cheerfully replies. I’m off like a fart in a windstorm.

Fifteen minutes later I’m sitting at the end of the process whilst two guys carefully towel off my perfectly clean truck. I give them a few bucks, slap the light bar back on the roof and they open the door. Apparently the big guy decided to have some fun with me. It’s snowing sideways. I drive my Oxford White truck out into the storm in the full “stealth” mode. Driving is like snorkeling in a vanilla milkshake. What kind of fool am I?

 

I am intrigued by that phrase, "...off like a fart in a windstorm."

If you farted with the wind, wouldn't you go with the fart?

Conversely, if you farted into a windstorm, how would the fart even escape?

As Mr Spock would have said, "I find this fascinating."

 

I get nervous about washing in temperatures like 8 degrees in heated car washes. Im afraid that the water might be too warm and crack my windows if they are too cold.

 

To address both of our concerns, what about a warm fart?

 

Great story!

That sure would make a great title for a song!

 

What about a warm wet one?

 

Come on guys.............. this thread is really starting to "stink"!

 

Meanwhile, back at the ranch. My original question was around me being the only one to have a problem driving a dirty truck in single digit temperatures in a snow storm. Then, of course, the thread went right down the tubes...

Man...that's got to be the best story I've heard in a long time. Except for that one time at band camp....

 

They fart in band camp?

 

No no... I think he was referring to "AMERICAN PIE" the movie...


"... and then this one time, at band camp, I stuck a flute up...."

aren't you glad they made a movie of your exploits?

That way, these comments don't need to be autobiographical!
