Default DamN Carwash! :- (

I know all of you have said never to go to the car wash but being the idiot I am I still went. Hey I had to I needed a clean car fast because I was going out. So, fully knowing of what could happen to the car, I dreadfully went to the local car wash to get the car cleaned, boy was that ever a MisTake! I didn't notice it that night because of course it was dark. I woke up yesterday afternoon to run some errands for my mom and there they were scratches all over the roof and the trunk lid each about a foot, YES a whole fOOt, long going from the front to the back end of my car. Damn damn damn how stupid could I be, the first time I enter an auto carwash with my car it destroys it. I can now honestly say that my car will NEVER enter one again.
So go ahead and tell me how stupid I am for not listening to you all because I truly am :-(

So do you guys think that the carwash owners are responsible for this or should I just eat my mistake and move on?

Thanks

The kind of car wash where you put your car in neutral and go through.
