    Local charity using my wash for fundraiser

    I have had mixed results. Once, the girls club came and I allowed them the use of two self serve bays. They did not advertising and only got a few of my customers. It did not work out well for me or them. Another time, I had high school cheerleaders. They had let people know and they were...

    Are we naive or what?

    So, we should beat the oppressive extremist society by becoming more like them? No more double standard? We should be like them? Wow.

    Are we naive or what?

    I guess if all muslims believed that you should kill all infidels, you would have a point. People in this country are typically prosecuted for their actions, not their beliefs. Should we then outlaw the religion? I can think of one prominent religion in the US that teaches that they should...

    Are we naive or what?

    I think you all miss the point. Either this is a free country or it is not. I agree it is in poor taste. I do think that we built Christian churches at the site of many indian slaughters. This is not being built on the World Trade Center site. This is approxiately 6 blocks from the nearest...

    Are we naive or what?

    What do you mean? Are we naive? My family has been here since the Mayflower. The pilgrims came to this country to avoid persecution for their religious beliefs. We have fought to keep this country free. Now we should discriminate based on religion??? If we do, the Taliban has won.

    Buying tires on-line

    I almost always buy my tires online. The other day, I got a set of Michelin snow tires for my BMW. Regular price $350 each. Closeout price $139 each with a $70 MIR on 4. I had them mounted locally. The Michelin snow tires ride smoother than the OEM tires. I usually buy mine at tirerack or...

    Obamas Father in question

    Nice to be part of a website where so many enlightened individuals have an opportunity to "show" their "opinions". I mean everyone has one, just some think theirs are prettier than others.

    Gun(s) At Your Car Wash

    Uh, very bad legal advice. It depends on the state and the city. Some states require open carry and some states forbid it. Some states require permits to carry a handgun open or concealed and some states only require a permit to carry concealed. I guess with the recent US Supreme Court...

    10% Tanning Tax is Racist

    Spousal exemption is 100%. The current estate tax situation was created by the Republicans. They are the ones that passed the bill which included a sundown provision. Yes, the estate tax is horrible. If your NET ESTATE is more than 1 million and you do not leave anything to a spouse, then...

    10% Tanning Tax is Racist

    Wow, taxing a luxury that is proven to cause cancer. The next thing you know, they will tax cigarettes. I am all for sin taxes. Tax the crap out of alcohol, cigarettes, gambling establishments, tanning beds, and drugs. That is not to say that I don't drink, gamble and smoke, but I would...

    Treadles Laserwash 4000

    Ugh, my laserwash 4000 has treadles. I get a lot of complaints. I would like to upgrade to the virtual treadles. The upgrade seems cost prohibitive for me. Any suggestions??? I have found used ones but then my installer has wanted a fortune for the install.

    Super Bright ACW IV display by dixmor

    OK, I have no stock in anything, but I thought I would re-hash in case anyone has missed the greatest thing since sliced bread. Dixmor has created a replacement display for the ACW 4 and 5. Instead of being 1/2 tall bluish green letters that are unreadable in direct sunlight when the display...

    A well wouldn't help me much. My sewer bill is over double my water bill.

    Dixmor ACW display

    I installed one of the new dixmor displays too. It is better than sliced bread. Best $360 I have spent. I installed one and will be ordering another for my other display too.

    Stringers and gunfire - a fun way to spend the night

    Yes, Texas has a stand your ground law, not really a castle doctrine. However, shooting at someone making an escapein a parking lot is not standing your ground. I read that article too. It was good. One thing it pointed out that I had not considered was to never say that your gun went off...

    Stringers and gunfire - a fun way to spend the night

    The castle doctrine does not apply to this situation for lots of reasons. 1. It is not the owner's castle. Texas does have a stand your ground law. 2. There is no threat of harm. 3. The guy in the truck was legally there. Also, the castle doctrine is a DEFENSE!!! A defense is something...

    Stringers and gunfire - a fun way to spend the night

    I too carry a gun, and I agree with this guy's advice. In most localities, you would go to jail. Criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon is a felony in most jurisdictions. Self-defense is just that, a defense...something that is brought up at trial.

    My biggest car wash challenge...

    That was one of my biggest challenges so I replaced my Rowe's with Mars parts. It cost me $700 per machine and was well worth it.

    Charity Wash~Take 100.

    I personally have not found an organization which can sell tokens without an issue. My typical charity fundraiser is to have the highschool cheerleaders come to the wash. I let them use 2 self serve bays for 3 or 4 hours. They keep the money that they receive as donations and don't pay...

    Best combo vac combination

    My combo vacs with shampoo or fragrance do a whole lot more business than my standalone unit next to vacs. I have combo vac/fragrance and combo vac/shampoo. I also have standalone fragrance and standalone shampoo.
