To all my friends and acquaintances here on the forum, I want to share something with you. Today I start on a journey I never expected to take. I know some of you have been there..done that, or know someone who has, but this is all new to me. Today I start radiation treatment for lung cancer. I...

I know this has been talked about before, but I guess I'm just to lazy to look for it. I am using Wells Fargo for my credit card processing and the fees are outrageous. Is there an alternative to Wells Fargo to process credit cards? The only thing I'm using credit cards for is on my WSII in my...

Went to the Mecum Auto Auction at the Reliant Center yesterday. Not to bid on anything but just to see the cars. Hundreds of "awesome" cars were there. Surprisingly tho...the Corvettes and Mercedes went for the lowest prices. Some really fine Corvette and Mercedes all went for well under...

Hi Guys, I just had a customer have his car wash destroyed by someone driving into it. It will take a complete gantry to make it work again. I (we) realize that we may have to buy the whole system and that is ok. If anyone knows where we might find a Futura...SSA, Revolution, Impulse please let...

This has nothing to do with anything, just wanted to rant a little bit. You know those half round ice cubes that are made by your refrigerator? Well, I'd like to smack the s&)t out of the guy (or gal) that invented those. They are the biggest pain in the a$$ that was ever made. You try to drink...

I was in Dodge City, Ks last week and while there I get a call at 5:00 am from the police where my car wash is ,(Seabrook, TX) They tell me someone has crashed into my car wash and they need someone out there ASAP. I call my partner and he goes to meet the police at the car wash. Turns out some...

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous and Happy New Year. May 2012 bring in more jingle with less kringle...or more....

While on a trip for a family reunion to Okmulgee, OK I had the pleasure of visiting the Tidal Wave Car Wash there. I was pleasantly surprised. Everything worked, got plenty of time for the money and the place was well maintained. I often use car washes when on trips and seems that most don't...

Hi Guys, I am still looking for 2 complete express wash entry systems...auto cashiers, gates etc. I posted this before and got a couple of replies,and forwarded them on to my customer, but he told me that they were just the gates. Surely there has to be some closed or foreclosed washes out there...

I am looking for a used, but good express wash entry system and gate. Anyone have any leads on one of these? Thanks. Mike V

Hi guys, I need to rent a 20-25' flatbed trailer form Springfield, MO to Tampa, Fl next week and can't seem to find one anywhere on the internet.I need to move an automatic car wash. Does anyone have any ideas on where I can find one. I looked at all the listings on the net, but can't find what...

I visit the Forum every day as part of my morning routine but I don't always log on as sometimes I just want to see whats going on with others across the country. I'm always amazed by the wealth of knowledge and helpfulness of most of the participants on here. The times that I do log on is if I...

The danger to America is not Barak Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have...

I recently upgraded my card reader from the old style backwards card reader to the new two sided card reader from Unitec. The changeover was easy and only took a few minutes. Had to change out the CPU board (mother board) and drill out the holes a little bigger, but all in all it was very easy...

But this is a new one. A guy comes into my car wash and walks straddle legged to the meter box and deposits his money. Then he proceeds to wash his shorts. It appears that he has dumped a load in his shorts...maybe diarrhea???. Anyway he has brown stuff all down his shorts and legs. Now I can...

I am looking at installing an ADT security system in my house. Does anyone have any experience with this company?...good or bad?

The audacity of Obama to side with the tin pan ruler of a pathetic, impoverished, crime laden third world piece of sh-t country against his own country is embarrassing. But this has become the way of Obama, apologizing for the U.S. being the best country in the world, never did he mention the...

For all you Water Wizard fans out there, there is a W.W. free for the taking here in Houston. The owner just wants to get rid of it. He says it all works. I looked at it yesterday and it seems to be in reasonably good shape. Didn't run it, didn't turn anything on, just looked at it. It is...

Had a guy come by my wash on Tuesday, pulls up to the auto, buys a wash then proceeds to fill all the slots (credit card reader, bill acceptor, coin receiver) with that spray type expanding foam crap. Ruined the credit card reader and the coin receiver, but I was able to clean the Mars acceptor...

For those of you in the Houston area, there is an auction for a car wash tomorrow at 10:00am. It is a 7 bay s.s. with Coleman equipment. I went by it a few days ago...the wash sits perpendicular to the street, but looks halfway decent. Meter lids are push button, combo vacs all over, will need...
