    Fun times at Paradise Car Wash!! Not!!

    So I was at the Paradise car wash in eagan...after taking the car out of storage and getting it washed off so I could put a good waxin on it....So I get out of my car and walk inside behind the glass following my car as it goes through along the conveyer belt. Well clearly they didnt turn my wheel back to the Straight position because it pops out of the track and the little spinner that was pushing it kept moving forward but not moving my car....

    ....its at that point that i notice hey that truck behind my car is getting closer...and closer and HOLY FUCKING SHIT rams into the back of my bumper and SLOWLY slides up the back of my car....it does this 3 f'ing times before the guy controlling the thing notices...meanwhile im banging on the one milliong inch thick glass trying to get their attention, but no no, hes too interested in his sandwich.

    So someone notices and stops the track....the manager gets in my car and tries to drive it back onto the conveyer...but soap + 480ish hp equals spin spin spin.

    So meanwhile i have like 20 people standing around me while my face is pushed against the glass almost in tears, all saying glad that isnt MY car...i swear to god i almost punched her.

    They finally got it back on the track and it pops out the other end....make a long story short they are paying Abba $500 to fix the bumper that is scratched to hell...THANK GOD it didnt break or bend.

    Anyway ya so thats my story of my cars first day out of storage

        Are they fixing it before or after they sing 'take a chance on me'?

        Sorry, had to.

        Best of luck. I'd take it somewhere other than Abra though.

          That sucks. Hand washing it yourself is the only way to go.

            Werd, That is a bad deal,and I am sorry it happened, but you really take your Cobra to a automatic car wash? HRMMMMM.
            It is a damn poor mind indeed which can't think of at least two ways to spell any word.

                  Yep well im not going to one of those ever again. I never had a problem with it before in the 3 years i have owned the car....however the ones i took it to in New Jersey (when i lived there) did a fantastic job...they hand washed each car, not brushes or anything.

                  Where else could I take it...i have some rock chips i would like to get fixed on my hood....I dont really know any good body shops.

                    Unfortunate.

                    However taking 'your baby' through something like that is easily frowned upon, especially when it's completely out of your control.



                    Lesson learned?

                      There is a place like paradise in Savage that does a good job. Also I have washed my car tons of times at the Savage paradise and they always do a good job.
