at the carwash with roop and adam. the rt rev and a-bomb thought it would be a good idea to wash the car. it was 9-5-09. though in reality we were still living out the day of 9-4-09. at one am in the morning. what a great idea. lets wash the car. we got nothing better to do. what? there is everything better to do. but we did not. instead we decided to laugh our asses off and have a good time the cheap way. at the car wash. the conversation is not all that great. it is humorus though. washing the car and spraying the deodorizor is the funniest part. this was shot at some small time laser wash in carrollton texas. take a peek into the lives of simple folke with this video. the video has been broken into a three part series due to youtubes lovely ten minute limit rule. youd think youtube would get over themselves. oh well thats neither here nor there. please watch all three videos. the first two are ten minutes and the last one is just shy of nine minutes. itll take a little while. but youll find it worth it. feel free to leave comments. feel free to rate the video. for those who have something negative to say, remember one thing: those who can do, those who cant complain about it on the internet. we are just simple people out to have fun. avoid the trappings of the responsible world for a little while. it is our hope you find humor in it as we found humor doing it. thank you for watching. this was brought to you by the life through a lense project.
