I got my car washed recently so it would look reasonably nice for the wedding (my brother was my chauffer for the day). I haven't been inside an automatic car wash for a very long time (I seem to remember going through one with my father as a small child). I hadn't realized how scary it was a driver! You have to put the car in neutral, take your foot off the brake and (if that wasn't scary enough) avoid touching the steering wheel - then the car drives through the contraption on it's own, and you can't see what's going on because the car is covered with soap suds and swirly washing things.
