Wash Me

Driving behind someone whose speed is not even close to the limit is frustrating, especially when you are pressed for time and have a screaming toddler strapped in a car seat. Judgement happens immediately. If the car in question has any type of bumper sticker or magnetic cling that represents a belief, it will get drilled. "My chilD is on the honor roll at such and such school", "eat vegetarian, let the animals live" , "I heart my schnauzer" and even or especially the Christian " fish" symbol get put through the wringer of a challenged mind. You can easily fill in the blanks as to what type of comments are made about the slow car ahead. And if the time comes when you can pass said car you take a look to see who is driving, and another judgement call is made based on who was driving; an elderly or teen etc. Suffice to say that when you are behind the wheel, even on a carefree trip, things about you and your car will be scrutinized. Especially if you are slowing someone down. Now my question is what's the value or loss if the slowpoke has your radio station plastered to it's back end for all the challenged minds to see, and what if it's dirty? I say get thee to a car wash and crank it up.
