I pride myself on ability to steer left wheels into carwash.

Maybe it’s a complex from my youth I haven’t figured out yet... maybe it’s my dad ripping me for not backing the boat in correctly....

But there’s something about flying into a Benny’s type or BlueWave with the attendant giving positive gestures with no correction as you drive the left wheel side confidently and swiftly.

I also like to let the car ahead get 2-3 sections in front before moving; drives the employees wild. Like their life depends on getting you in directly behind the last car. I respect that just not going to do it.

Now that you bring it up, I’m damn proud of my ability to do this as well. Thank you for bringing awareness to this matter.

It crushes my soul when the Take 5 Oil Change guy gestures left or right. I feel like a total failure for 15 seconds. Then he brings me a diet coke and I forget it.

What special kind of stupid are you to think being able to put a tire on a spot is a special skill?

I went 6 times in a row once with no correction.

You’d have thought I lost game 7 of the World Series the way my wife huffed and puffed when I had to make a minor right correction on the 7th time.

Personally, I think any way you slice it, being able to hit the right spot is a special skill.

I mean, your wife certainly thinks so.

Drifting around a roundabout or parallel parking by sliding in is a special skill, the awareness of where your tires are in relation to the car itself is just a mundane part of being able to properly drive a car. This is some participation trophy level self-praise.

it’s quite the coincidence.... I don’t read TD enough to realize this is the case. I’m glad however that this is a bigger issue of the times and that it has now been fully aired out for the OT to decide on how to proceed.

My sincere apologies if you have already talked about left wheel alignment confidence at car washes.

I did it to perfection for a job while I was in college, funny part is in between driving strangers cars all day we were eating loratabs and taking gravity bong hits in the pressure washer prep tank

I do this daily. Truly can’t believe people pay me money to do it. It’s easier than dialing in the left tires at a car wash.
