my apologies (sincere or otherwise) to those of you who(m) for some reason regularly check in for yet another car wash update. it's not that i haven't been documenting them or lost interest (which i never really had) in the subject, rather that i have just not been using one of late. that, look you see, changed somewhat as the second month of the year drew to a close.
i have, for the most part, or indeed mostly, been skipping a (fairly) frequent trip to the car wash due to having no wish to upset the mojo (or juju) of my present vehicle. quite sensitive, it is, to be sure. no idea why verk have issued it to me, unless they are hoping when it inevitably goes up in flames it does so at a point at which i am in it. up to now it has been off to the menders (garage) five times for five issues with the engine, or whatever. yes, i have suggested to them that they might want to consider issuing me a different, somewhat more reliable vehicle, but then again if they wish to pay me to keep taking this one to the menders rather than getting on doing that which they (ostensibly) employ me to do do, well, precisely how much of an argument do i contest here?
the above picture is, i think, just one in regular, standard VHS mode. via the swanky app what i have on my phone, although the have updated it so the record button is right on some ridiculous "google search" button. if it isn't broken don't fix it is, apparently, no longer a thing. next up, though, will all be in that curious "negative" mode. i didn't deliberately set it to that, i must have left it in that mode after whatever i last took pictures of. coins, i think.
yes, of course there is some video for you. in, as you may recall me mentioning, negative mode. although i am hard pressed to tell the difference in it. possibly a "lack of colour" in the basics of the car wash palette. behold, then, some video of glorious, cleansing soapy water trickling down the windscreen.
did my vehicle (or the vehicle what verk find it amusing for me to drive) survive the car wash? yes, or at least so (thus) far. i really wasn't sure what would happen to it, honestly. driving it seems to upset it, with every few miles causing it to have some other "danger will robinson" like light on the dashboard flash at me. as far as fuel "efficiency" goes, i believe it presently manages to do an entire (singular) mile per litre put in it. efforts to put oil in it are futile, for it just p!sses it out with some formidable enthusiasm. surprisingly no, it is not a vehicle of French provenance.
should you have been somewhat disappointed, or a touch let down, by the "negative" mode video above, well i wouldn't think the below picture in that mode will impress you all that much either. but what do i truly know of this, or anything. give it a look, decide for yourself. or yourselves.
and that's pretty much that. oddly, for a change, it is indeed the case that the vehicle is going to be back off to the menders again. perhaps they will get it patched up, or maybe they will suggest an actual, proper working one might be a good idea.
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
