    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.

      I did the rarest of leases, 3yrs at 15,000 miles a year. Most especially for the Cadillac Lyriq were 2 year leases at 10,000 miles a year. Of the 1.2 million EVs being returned this year, pretty much all of them are low mile 2 year leases so you should be able to find a number of good low cost deals to buy on an EV. 4,813 were ZDX with the bulk on low mileage 2yr leases.  There are 28,402 Lyriq's low mileage lease returns coming back this year. https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/cadillac/lyriq/cadillac-lyriq-sales/ Q1-2025-Kelley-Blue-Book-EV-Sales-Report-04-11-25.pdf Acura ZDX AWD Used 2024 Acura ZDX A-Spec for sale in Renton, WA 98057: Sport Utility Details - 776625051 - Autotrader Cadillac Lyriq RWD Used 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Luxury for sale in Enumclaw, WA 98022: Sport Utility Details - 772214602 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Cadillac Lyriq Sport for sale in Seattle, WA 98133: Sport Utility Details - 775845739 - Autotrader Kia EV9 RWD No used yet, just new New 2026 Kia EV9 Light for sale in Renton, WA 98057: Sport Utility Details - 761201098 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Kia EV9 Wind for sale in Tacoma, WA 98409: Sport Utility Details - 772435775 - Autotrader Kia EV6 RWD Used 2023 Kia EV6 Light for sale in North Bend, WA 98045: Sport Utility Details - 760380155 - Autotrader AWD Used 2024 Kia EV6 Light for sale in Tacoma, WA 98409: Sport Utility Details - 772435774 - Autotrader

      Awesome information and I'll just continue to keep an eye on them. Thank you Also, are two year leases a common thing? I think I've only ever heard of three year leases. @G. David Felt, what's your lease?

      We'll the collector status and instant markup for ownership seems to be over for high power muscle cars. The last Dodge Challengers were supposed to age into money, not lose $14,000 with delivery mileage Seems more and more investment companies / banks are down rating Tesla and expect a market correction of about 60% downward for the stock. JP Morgan Concerned Tesla Stock Will Crash by 60 Percent in Face of Ongoing Business Failures

      If this ends up being true, then solar power will overcome many other forms of energy production, just need large scale storage. Solar breakthrough as scientists achieve 'impossible' efficiency level
