Hi everyone! This week, we decided to bring in a guest post. Ashley is a friend of Towne Lake Car Wash and Detail and decided to help us out. Check out her post below!
Imagine it: You’re driving down the road with the windows rolled down (or top down), enjoying a beautiful spring sunny day. Your music of choice is blaring. What car are you driving if you could have your absolute dream car?
Dream cars are as personal to a human being as what kind of jeans they like to wear, or how they prefer to have their coffee in the morning. One man’s dream car might be a massive Ford F250 truck, while another’s might be a Chevy Corvette.
As long as I can remember, we’ve been a “car family.” My Dad bought his first dream car in 1995, when I was 11 years old. It was a brown Porsche 944, and the love of the Porsche brand began for him and the rest of our family. So far, we’ve had about nine different Porsches enter our family garage since 1995, I’m sure that will only increase with time. Currently, there are still three housed there, and sometimes, I get to take the “pride and joy” out for a spin.
What it is about cars that create a fiercely loyal fan base? How many sons and daughters have watched family members out in the driveway tinkering with car parts, not even realizing that right at that very second, the love of a brand is being born? Most car people have a common bond. A common love of all things automotive.
What’s your ultimate dream car? Leave us a reply below. No matter which one you choose, the team at Towne Lake Carwash and Detail in Woodstock, GA will make sure it’s washed and detailed like a pro.

Quick – take a peek at the mats on the floor of your car. Are they covered in pet fur and crushed cracker crumbs? Do you see empty juice cups and various sports teams’ gear, just waiting to find a home outside of your backseat?
Never fear! The team at Towne Lake Carwash and Detail is here to make sure that your car is clean and feeling like new.
Often, our cars get overlooked when it comes to the inside. Sure, the outside gets a nice wash and wax, and even the tires get in on the fun, but the inside is left full of family clutter and trash. Here are a few easy fixes to keep the inside nice and clean.
Transferring Fido or Fluffy? Keep an old blanket to drape over the seats so that the animal fur doesn’t get all over your seats. Better yet, keep your pets safe in a well-ventilated crate or carrier.
Uncovered Drinks Must Go. Make a rule that uncovered drinks aren’t allowed in the car to prevent spills. Use drinking bottles with screw-on caps or spill-proof cups for smaller kids. Keep some empty bottles handy at your home so you can pour drinks from the fridge into the bottles before traveling. Lastly, try to avoid canned drinks in the car, because they’re sure to spill.
Corral Snacks. Snacks should be packed in sealed baggies or in a snack catcher that can be re-sealed when finished snacking. Also, avoid snacks that can melt easily in the hot sun. Melted chocolate doesn’t look good on anyone’s car upholstery! Make a rule that if snacks enter the vehicle, they must exit the vehicle the same day. This gives your children equal responsibility in keeping the car clean.
From road trips to day-to-day errands, the interior of your family car can take a backseat to all the other things on your to-do list. Come on by to Towne Lake Carwash and Detail in Woodstock, GA to get the inside as beautiful as the outside.
