My wife took my car to get a $19 CARWASH
This friday my wife had the car an desided to take my car in for a surprise and got a shitty $19 dollar car wash. Car has all kinds of dirty spots specially the rims. Biy was I pissed. She said but they even cleaned the dash~!!! SOOO!!!
Worst part they put a ding in one of my doors. They gave her a card to a guy that does work for them to fix the ding.
By the way we really have shitty thin paint one small scrath goes al the way to the metal. WTF

I've got my wife trained now, she knows how to properly wash the car at the wand wash (ie: no foam brush) and knows NEVER to let anyone other than us touch our car! 
Now if I could just get her to drive around the bumps and holes in the road rather than over them...

It's only a car, guys. Even if I had a Ferrari I woundn't get all hyper at my girfriend for doing anything bad to it accidently. A car is something money can buy, but a good relationship with a peer is priceless.

My little girl tries to help me wash my car. Gets crap all over it . But how can be upset when I have 2 big blue eyes looking at me all exciteed because she is helping Daddy. Now if my girlfriend did that **** it would be different.

That being said, I have 3 dents on the crease line on my passenger side, and a key on my driver side. Each one pissed me off more than the last. And I park out in the boon docks when I go anywhere! But this guys right... Get pissed off, sure. But get your priorities straight. One time my step-mom grazed my baby... my '90 SHO, with her Camry. Drug the mirror right along the side. This AFTER I'd had it painted. Left a nasty dent- little wax got the paint out tho. Should have seen the look on her face- she was so upset, so sorry. As mad as I could have been... I gave her a hug and told her it was allright. Then took my baby out and gave her the ole' italian tune up. We all felt better.

Yeah man, like everyone said, don't worry about it too much. I mean she tried to do the right thing so don't be an a$$hole and get pissed off at her but rather at the shop that put a ding on your ride.
It could've been much worse (hopefully neither one of you ever get in accidents *knocks on my wood table*)
