I was paging through a magazine while sitting at lunch the other day, and an ad for OnStar caught my eye. It was a little story about how a lady had sent her car through the auto car wash, and realized when it came out that she had locked her keys in the car. The cars behind hers in the wash were backing up, because no one could get in it to drive it off. So, OnStar remotely unlocked her vehicle and all was well. However; Jackie didn't understand. It turned out that she has never been to a car wash where your vehicle goes though without you, while you watch it! I couldn't get over that; we have one in town, and I occasionally go there. But when I was a kid, it was a big deal to go there, and my brother and I would watch the car's progress through the windows. We just thought that was the coolest thing. There were other people hearing our conversation that day, and they all agreed that it was a fond memory for them, too. I told Jackie that she has to take her kids...they will love it! I could tell that she didn't appreciate the coolness factor, but how could she, having never been there before?
I never before thought about the auto car wash, and that someone wouldn't know what it was. Maybe I will take her there one day soon.
