The car wash

Going through the Delta Sonic car wash in Rochester is an unexpected joy!  Winter is hard on cars in the North Country.  Salt is a necessary evil on the roads.  It is needed on the roads to cut down on ice.  But it is rough on cars, causing rust.

The Delta Sonic is a premium car wash.  In addition to cleaning the car, they put a coat of wax to better preserve the metal.  And they spray a rust inhibitor to the bottom of the car.

Today, with the long line of cars waiting to go through the 4 lanes, it took me a little over 10 minutes to reach the tunnel once I pulled off the road.  Approaching the tunnel, you make sure all windows and doors and securely closed, take your foot off the brake, and put the car in neutral.  Then you sit back and enjoy the show!  The sights and sounds can lull your mind into a sense of peace.  I find myself, for the moment, forgetting about the rat race of the world.

Someone recently asked me if I had every taken my dog through the car wash.  No!  Not sure how Bailey would react!  She may settle down for a nap, or she could go nuts over this new experience!
