rainy days and mondays...

...don't ALWAYS get me down, but.....



so i go out for lunch and come back with sun shining so bright. so i say, "self: why not leave the windows open so you don't get in a hot stuffy car at days end." so i do.


then of course, we get this downpour! i completely forget about the windows. about a half-hour later, someone else comes back from lunch...'hey, bri. u know ur windows are open?'


yikes! seats completely soaked...cd cases soaked...school textbook soaked. hair dryer duty currently underway.


so...when is someone gonna invent a car-rain-alarm that goes off when you're dumb enough to leave the windows open in a rain storm? better yet, why not just have a sensor the puts the windows up automatically when it rains?

i did this a couple of weeks ago. but it was a good excuse to get my car detailed/shampooed. it smells MUCH better now. and it's cleaner!

i bet that feature comes standard on james bond cars. Q thinks of everything.

i watched the new one on friday. i've seen it before but still so good. i love all the inventions he comes up with and the dry humor used in counseling pierce brosnan.

automatic seat dryers, missles that soak the enemy car seat, and a sensor that closes your windows are all standard on the Bond-Cruiser

i did this to my dad's cadillac the other day. we went in for the bookstudy and he shut his but i forgot to shut mine. downpour. not only was i wet from running through the rain to the car but then i sat in the wetness. that is why i'm not allowed in the el dorado.

i used to do that all the time, the best way to dry them out is leave your car running with heat on full blast for like an hour or more. it does more then the hair dyer could believe me.

My mother used my car once and left the sunroof open. She didn't realize that she had left it open until about 1/2 into a heavy storm. I had 2 inches of water in my car. I ended up renting one of those shot vacs from home depot. my car's never smelled the same.

*saturn commercial voice* shut...UPPPPPP!

definitely get it shampooed. what's it cost, like 65 bucks. your car will smell new. and people will be impressed when they get in it. (i'm not saying they aren't impressed now. but, you know.)

ok4now ok4nowOG 2002

(oh trust me, they're not impressed now)

skaorsk8 skaorsk8OG 2002

hahaha. maybe they are impressed on the INSIDE. Just a thought.
