For every vehicle owner, going to the car wash is an activity that brings mixed feelings. On the one hand, you get to clean your pride and joy, making it look brand new once again (or enhancing those scratches even further, depending on the case). But on the other, it's just a complete waste of time, isn't it?
But even if you are a slack and only wash your car when you desperately have to, that still means you have to do it at least a few times during a year: there's Christmas, your birthday, that day you parked under a tree full of really well-hidden pigeons, and so on. Nobody escapes the car wash.
But apart from providing ample time to deepen our relationships with our smartphones, there aren't any other complaints you can have about car washes. Sure, some people believe the brushes can take the shine off their car's paint job, but these are the people the touch-free car washes were invented for. There are even some luxury outfits that offer the kind of pampering most people don't even experience, with massages, waxing, and anti-aging treatments.
For most of us, though, a car wash is a dark and wet tunnel our car enters in a filthy state and exits weighing a lot less due to all the dirt that's been removed. It's nothing special, just something we need to do to continue living in a civilized society without having to hide the car in the garage and only drive late at night.
However, when the car wash has a hard left turn just after the exit and a pretty high drop if you fail to take it, things can get a lot more interesting. It's not very clear whether the client was unhappy with the way his undercarriage was cleaned and decided to finish the job himself, but we're more inclined to believe he simply mistook the brake for the accelerator and stomped on the latter.
As the minivan was enjoying its special high-pressure washing procedure, a pickup emerges from the car wash. For a moment, you start thinking "oh no he won't" imagining it's going to pull a similar move. Fortunately for everyone involved, it was a one-time-only offer, so the minivan wasn't joined in its splashing by anyone else.
We imagine they don't get sub-zero temperatures there because if they do, that wet slope and the same camera that captured this incident are likely to offer a lot more comedy clips come winter.
