RE: mistreated at the car wash
I have never taken my car in for others to wash it. Why should I when I can do it myself and KNOW what has been done with it. Some may think it a chore to clean their Mustangs, but I love to get outside and clean my car.

are you guys telling me that if you were a young guy (16-20) working at a car wash, and a badass car came through, that you wouldnt hit the gas a couple of times? give me a break, they just wanted to hear the beast, its not like the pulled a ferris buellers day off in the thing.

i would have walked over there and just gave them the " im gonna kill you" stare. i agree with what some of the guys say to a certain degree. if i worked at a carwash and a badass car came through, i would ask the guy to rev it if anything, doin that **** urself is just disrespectfull. i would have backhanded that motha.

I used to work at a car wash here in Miami when i was 17 and i wouldn't have done that. Its just out of respect...you don't play aroundwith other people's cars. I mean, reving it up's not really a big deal but it shouldn't be done without the owner's permission (i've washed a few Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Aston Martins and they all let me rev it up, but i made sure to ask first...BTW, Lambo's sound niiiiice withBorlas!!)

RE: mistreated at the car wash
Worked at a car wash once. Babied everyones car because its the right thing to do.
Would not take my baby to a carwash ever. No one touches my car except the
stealership. And then I am never 10 feet away from it. Leave it overnight, I think
not.[:@]

so yeah today decided to wash my stang... havent used it for the day so i drive to the local car wash which is like couple blocks away.... after they finished vacuming the interior... all of a sudden i heard a loud rev.. and i recongize my car and they were reving my engine! they prolly did it like 6 times! my friend said its bad to rev the engine especially when it hasnt been warmed up... i did like a 2 minute drive cuz the car wash was right there to my house... i was soo mad.. i didnt do anything cuz they probably wouldve messed with it more if i started a scene... never going to that car wash again!
