| - I stopped here for fuel and a car wash on my way from the gym to work the other day. My car was in desperate need of a bath, and I didn't have time to visit my favorite Cobblestone car wash in Scottsdale.
Because I did not want to continue to drive in shame, I figured a nice little rinse at the quick car wash would at least help a little. My car is black and was so dirty it was starting to look like it had a nice gray primer coat on it.
When the soapy cycle of the wash began, I noticed something flying above my car. To my surprise, I looked up and notice several pigeons riding back and forth on the car wash "arm". To their credit, the pigeons looked quite happy going back and forth...back and forth. I think one of them smiled at me.
(A side note...where there are birds ready to poop, they will find me somehow. I must have a poop magnet somewhere around me because it ALWAYS happens.)
I am already stuck in neutral and it's still in the soap phase of my wash. So I sit and wait. I count how long it takes before one of the birds craps on my freshly rinsed car. Of course, within moments of the dryer beginning and the green light flashes, I notice a nice little white pile on the hood of the car. To make things even more enjoyable, the dryer smears the freshly deposited prize across my hood. After all, who wants wet pigeon poop on their car?
Moral of the story peeps...if you want pigeon poop and a car wash, this is THE place to be! I was in a bit of a hurry so I didn't ask for my money back. However, I did make a courtesy call later to kindly remind the owners of the gas station that they have some squeaky clean pigeons living in their car wash. They didn't seem thrilled with my sarcasm.
