Help! I'm stuck in the carwash!

Okay, this is in the 'strange but true' section for sure!

I was in one of those drive through car washes where the attendants spray down your car, and then you drive up and your passenger side tires hook onto their little conveyor and you put it in neutral and it pulls you through. Well got in there fine and dandy as you please, and the pretty pink bubbles were just starting to envelop my minivan (yes, I drive a minivan...no snide comments--I'll explain that one another time) anyway...focus here! So, pink bubbles, and all of a sudden I hear a SNAP! Then my side view mirror slaps against my van, and I hear this scraping all along the side of my van. Then everything stops!

The conveyor snapped, and it wrapped up the side of my van. Then I couldn't go forward or back. So, the attendants had to cut me out! They got me out just as I was starting to feel the walls caving in and get hysterical.

Well, luckily my cell phone worked in there and I called the hubby, who works near by and he came & talked to the owner of the car wash. They knew each other, so hopefully we will have a happy ending to this silly--but true--story!

HOLY CRAP! That sounds kinda scary, actually -- funny later, sure, but scary when it happened!

Everything OK now?

I, too, used to drive a minivan. And I only have one kid. Funny story!
