Talking funny thing...

This weekend I decided to put a good coat of wax on the car and clean it up real nice before the pollen season gets into high gear. (I have a black car.) lol anyways I didn't get to vacuum it this weekend. Well today I stopped by a gas station and was finally gonna get to vacuum it. It has not been vacuumed since I got it back in January. I am almost done and the hose starts making a really high pitched sound and all of the sudden it goes POOOF. The vacuum machine caught on fire. Smoke was billowing out from the lid like a chimney, and it stunk really badly. So after a minute or two when the smoke died down a little I left. Just thought I would share with you guys one my new memories with my TSX. (Which I just named it Mr. Nighthawk. )

You know your TSX is too dirtry when the car wash vacuum cleaner quits rather than continuing to suck up your dirt.

I'm really not sure what it was. The largest piece of paper it sucked up was a straw wrapper. You know that isn't to big. My guess is that it has been a while since they emptied the containers inside the vacuum. Who knows.... lol

Before I got my 05 TSX, I drove a 92 Accord EX. That car was named "Please". As in , Please don't stall, Please make it to the airport, Please don't make me look so bad...
