I am somewhat frugal.
What I mean by this is rather than get into my car, drive to the car wash....throw some money in a box a let a machine wash the car, I think: it's going to rain overnight so let's leave the car out of the garage and get a FREE car wash!
Some of you might be saying "I do the same thing". Great, we're on the same page.
Thursday evening was FREE car wash night as rain was in the forecast. What the forecast neglected to remind me about was the previous week of snow and freezing temperatures. Why you ask?
Well, when I got up Friday morning and looked out the door while letting the dog out I noticed something strange: THE CAR WAS GONE!!!!!
As the rain fell throughout the evening the snow melted exposing the ice on the driveway. We have a 200 foot driveway with about a 10 to 15% slope...just enough for the car to slide down the driveway overnight and stop just shy of the main road.
Has this ever happened to you?
I know I won't be opting for the free car wash while the driveway still has ice on it again.
