Then came the cleanup....I took the car to the carwash and used $8.00 in quarters on the power-washer just to get the Dempster grime off the sides and the bugs off of the front bumper area. After that, I took it back home where Cari swept and wiped down the interior while I removed each wheel one at a time to remove the half inch of mud caked onto the inside of the wheel and wheel well. The next morning I bought some touch-up paint at the store and tidied up a lot of rock chips on the drivers side front fender and side mirror.
When I pulled up to return the car, the man was already outside and he took the keys and leaned in to check the odometer. Then we went inside and he started typing on his computer. After a moment he just kind of looked at the computer funny, took the keys and went back outside and checked the odometer again. Then he looked at me and asked how long we had the car. I told him we drove it for 15 days and he just said "Wow, that's a lot of miles". We had put 8,400 miles on the car, an average of 560 per day. He shrugged it off like he didn't care and gave me a receipt.
The end.
