There’s more than one way to wash a car
Published by Becky S January 6th, 2005 in newsy, wtf?The ghetto car, which has not seen a hose since 2001, expresses extreme surprise at my resolution to wash it:
Everyone is fine. Silver lining: the last time the car had serious work done*, the body shop returned it all nice and sparkly clean. If the shop still provides this service, I get to cross one item off the 2005 to do list. So how are your resolutions going?
*This was after the airbag swiping incident of 2000, during which I called an ex-boyfriend crying, “why would someone take the front of my steering wheel?”
UPDATE: The ghetto car is totaled and will not be washed. R.I.P ghetto car.
klutz Newsy wtf?
I don’t think the body shop washing your car will let you cross off the item:
“Wash ghetto car at least one time”
It doesn’t say “get ghetto car washed at least one time”.
The verb “wash” appears to require you to take the action of actually washing the car. Sorry if I’m being a party pooper!
Aw hey, if the car gets washed, I’d cross it off the list, transitive verb or no.
Glad to hear no one was hurt. I now have to check my car to make sure it’s okay.
Hmmm…is Yoko implying that I hit her car? Never fear, Yoko, this happened in West Philly–your car is safe and sound in Fairmount.
When I read your post earlier today, it reminded me that I need to get an estimate on re-painting my bumper. After four years of paint slowly chipping off, it’s time.
psssssT! don’t look now but viggo mortenson visited MY BLOG yesterday
heh!
nice car!
Glad everyone is safe!
And it is good to see that Ghetto car can still smile.
Well one of my resolutions was to eat more fruit. I’ve been eating a lot of bananas, drinking orange juice and I bought red currants to try out a new recipe.
No, Becky, I wasn’t trying to imply that you hit my car. I’ve just become paranoid about things happening to my car when I park it some distance from my neighborhood is all. But my car looks fine.
I am glad to see the car is still smiling, but even more glad its owner can poke fun at finally getting a clean car (since 2001). I hope you get a replacement hub cap in the deal. I am sure a clean car with all it accruitiments (sp?)in their proper place will be able to navigate the terrain of Phillie better.
PS How do you folks in the Phillie area pronounce the “wash” word?
Sam is the only person who answered the question about New Year’s resolutions, so I assume that she and I are the only ones making progress.
Moon Pappy, I think Philadelphians say wash the normal way (none of this Western PA/Ohio warsh business). And no, no new hubcab. That would be insurance fraud!
I don’t make New Year’s resolutions.
Fuck.
Sorry to hear about your car, Becky.
Yikes! Does this mean that you’re going to get ‘Revenge of the Ghetto Car?’
Oh, and the resolutions thing.. a few years ago I made a resolution to stop making resolutions and I have stuck to it!
I often tell that joke around New Years and few people find it funny. Ah well.
Sorry to hear about the car, Becky. No more smiling I suppose.
I’m really sorry to hear about your car Becky. I know how much it sucks when a car gets totaled.
