inside my car at the car wash
music on
relaxing
feeling that underwater seaweed or giant squid on my hood vibe
yet the highlight
is getting to the end
seeing the ‘theme’ setup in a corner –
captain’s wheel, the bluest water, navigation devices
understanding why it is called
‘the lighthouse’
performance art at its finest and my clean car is merely a bonus
it’s really an immersive sensory art experience on the cheap.

We/me have honestly never gone to a car wash. My husband really does/did a good job with the car parked out in the driveway. Not so easy for him anymore.
But on a rainy day we may park it out in the drive and sit inside and I sing “Singing in the Rain.” :)

In another car wash, I had my then young son screaming with delight and at the same time had my dog scurry under the seat with me holding his ears and eyes shut with my hands! It was always a loud and ‘moving’ event.

It’s pretty entertaining to have a dog in the car when you go through a car wash.

I love being in a car as it journeys through a car wash, although I’ve sometimes wondered how the car came out the other side completely intact, especially when the high-powered dryer blowers kick in. The Lighthouse certainly lives up to its name with that display.
