Andrew's Truck Got a Bath

So the nasty little truck that Andrew proudly drives to and from work each day, got a bath today!! And I don't mean that it was outside while it rain really hard...or it got driven through the standing water on the road. I mean a legit car wash type bath. And maybe if he is lucky, I will take the time to clean the interior at some point in the near future.

Now why I am so excited about this - well first it hadn't been washed in...ohhhh...three years and second, I hate when I brush up against it in my work clothes because then they get nasty all over them.

So instead of threatening Andrew that I was going to trade it in, I washed it for him. But if the dang, stinkin', stupid, inadequate brake light system fails for the sixth time (yep, already happened 5 times) or gets recalled for a third (that's right Chevy recalled it once and couldn't get it right so they did a second time last month) - I will trade it rather than getting it fixed. But it is paid for (thanks to the Ouzts') and one car payment is much, much better than two.

I am only slightly upset that my hard-earned tax dollars went to a company that needs three times to figure out how to design a brake light system...not to mention how angry it makes me that the Ouzts' paid hard-cash to have it repaired at least three times, we paid once, and it has been covered by recall twice.
