So I hate my cats!!!! As I went out to take my wife to lunch in our new car today I find cat prints all over the hood. being OCD I cannot stand it. Brand new car. I swore to myself I would never go thru a car wash in my car. I picked up my wife and start bitching about her cats and what needs to happen to them and she proceeds to tell me about this eco friendly car wash up the street from work that people take their cars too because they are almost as good as hand wash. So we had a rare sunny day here and this place was real busy with only two kids working there. I pay my fine and proceed thru the car wash. wife and I are chatting and about half way thru it is just pouring in there and I spots what i think is tail light but i cannot tell. 10 second later boom I am running into the back of this vehicle by this time I am in shock and denial. this shit ain't happenin, then boom I smack into it again. now shock is starting to settle a little bit and my mind is registering this may be real. I look into my rear view mirror just in time for boom. I puts on the brakes and start cussing, my wife is yelling honk the horn and boom I hit the car in front of me again. I cannot get out of the vehicle because it is torrential down pour in there and the big side monster thinging wants to kill me. About that time they got it shut down. What is the moral of the story here my fellow camaro owner and inthusiasts? PS i did not kill anyone but it was touch and go for awhile. just had the clear bra installed the day before.

I had some issues at the car wash (self wash even. You would think that would be safe

) at first they said they weren't going to cover it but then I sent in a dispute with the BBB. Then they covered the damage. Yours is a bit more obvious than mine was though so I am sure you'll be fine. Sucks though...how long have you had that thing? I would have murdered the cats lol.

My car is three weeks old. I custom ordered it from the factory and waited for it to show up at dealer.

Get an Attorney and own that car wash and the company that made the track system......This is unbelievable!

007s 'Vert · 01-19-2013, 07:06 AM

you think YOU have a cat problem? heck I just got used to seeing cat prints all over my car everyday, got a friggin "crazy cat lady" that lives next door, has about 20 damn cats, and we live out in the sticks, she believes she needs to take in every friggin stray cat that gets dumped and abandoned on our dirt road.....its starting to get old, the damn cats walk through the mud and decide to party on top of my car.
whats weird is the fact that they are "ninja" cats because I never see them, but every morning I have a fresh mud track over the top of my car!

I have installed this for people with bird problems here in NY and they work great. For some reason people still train pigeons out here, and they crap all over everything. With the ultra sound they do not come withing 200 yards of the sensor - http://www.bird-x.com/yard-gard-prod...hp?page_id=137

I believe they have one that works for dogs/cats as well. More humane than shooting them with a BB gun or regular gun.

Nobody washes my cars but me! If you want it done right...

A Camaro sandwich is awful

This is one of many reasons I don't go near a "guided" drive thru car wash. If I need a touch up and don't have time or the energy, I use the hand wand or no touch car wash.
