    Suds To Be You! Video Captures Elderly Man Barreling Through California Car Wash

      Nothing could have prepared Quick Quack Car Wash employees for the moment when a 94 year-old man suddenly careened through their Sacramento, California business last Friday.

    Nothing could have prepared Quick Quack Car Wash employees for the moment when a 94 year-old man suddenly careened through their Sacramento, California business last Friday.

    Security cameras captured the carnage as the elderly driver's white Oldsmobile sedan barrelled through the automated wash lane at speeds of up to 40 mph, risking the lives of employees and damaging equipment. After narrowly missing a Honda Civic, the driver's wash from hell abruptly ended after slamming into a car wash vacuum, the Oldsmobile curiously landing arrow-straight in an immediate parking space after impact.

    The driver of the Oldsmobile accidentally hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes, causing the crash to happen.

    Speaking to a local FOX News affliate, site manager Mitch Shiveley said the elderly man walked away from the scene unharmed. No employees or other customers were injuried.

    Despite damages totaling almost $100,000, Quick Quack quickly cleaned up most of the mess and was back to washing cars by Monday afternoon.

    • My country is not the one that is threatening ICE agents at the Superbowl just because there will be  a gay Puerto Rican performing t the half time show. Need I show you the peaceful tactics of ICE agents?   Need I spell out the homophobic so called Christian reasons of why said performer is not wanted at the Superbowl half time show? Need I also spell out the love that one sector of Americans have for another? All the things that I have pointed out that you call insufferable... PS: Charlie Kirk spewed ALL that kind hatred in his podcasts and University campus debates. The Bad Bunny hatred at the half time show hatred...   Charlie Kirk advocated for gun violence too and ironically died in the very same way he condoned...  And the shooter of Charlie Kirk at that school was another far right phoquetard.   So phoque you @ccap41  for it all!!!  Are you trying to shame me for what your shytty country has become?  You cant see your own hypocrisy of questioning MY thoughts on how your phoquing shytty country is soooooo phoquing shytty? Dude...shame on you and your fellow country men.  YOU and YOUR countrymen are insufferable...   
    • Simply insufferable. 
    • I do still have my Mercedes, just got new Pirelli's on it.  Mine is a W211, the photos there are the W210. Since Mercedes has no interest in making V8s (other than in a $150k car) I figure why trade down to a 6 cylinder for more money.  If the electric E-class looks like the current W214 model, I think I would get one of those.  I think the W214 is one of the better looking E-classes. BMW styling did peak in the 90s with the 850 and 750iL.  It is a trainwreck now.
    • If there was no tariff on Chinese EVs, the time it would take for Chinese EV's to basically wipe out legacy automakers would only be the time it takes for them to build more factories and produce the cars and ship them across the ocean.   I for the most part would like to see 0% tariffs because I think for the most part you let the free market play out and costs are lower for consumers that way.  I get that in some areas you need some minor tariffs, or putting tariffs or sanctions on countries like Iran or Russia just to stop their imports for a war reason.  On Chinese cars, it should probably be 20%, if the domestics can't beat them with a 20% advantage they should be out of business.
    • Not a serious question... Just another deflection. Canada has laws that dictate how guns should be stored.  Locks and safeties and how to toransport guns in cars from place to place...yada yada yada. I glanced quickly to what @G. David Felt wrote.  I quickly know how to store my own guns.  AS I DO own guns myself.   I told you to google what other countries do for gun ownership. Lots of countries have rules and regs for gun owners to follow.  Restrictions on who owns what type of guns.  ETC...   I also told you to phoque what the laws dictate on what to do for safe gun ownership. But I also asked you WHAT kind of research are YOU going to do to INFORM yourself the dangers of hateful folk that EXPLOIT your naivete for their OWN gain. I also asked of you what will YOU start doing to change the mindset of all these brainwashed Americans that feel the need to own guns to feel safe. I asked of you how YOU and your fellow American on how will YOU reverse gun violence idolization? Ill ask another question.  How will YOU convince your fellow Americans, YOUR community and society to teach themselves GUN SAFETY. How to learn PROPER AND SAFE GUN ETIQUETTE.  And most importantly...contrary to what Charlie Kirk and the far right preaches now...how to  RE-LEARN  about HUMAN EMPATHY AND SYMPATHY.  (Both Greek words by the way...ANCIENT GREEK WORDS...)  I asked you to start to REVERSE that  hurtful trend about guns your society has fallen for.  And my ranting looks like a lot of hot air...but only to those that have closed eyes, ears and hearts.  Or trolls...
