    Are you like…16 and just got your license or something lmfao or maybe are you in the EU?

    That style of carwash isn’t widely adopted in the US due to the cost of complexity. The standard automatic car wash here is the conveyor belt type system that drags your car along and absolutely needs your car to be in neutral

      I’ve definitely seen plenty of carwashes that have you park and drive forward. It’s really a mixed bag, possibly regional as well.

      Mid 30s in the US. Have lived in 4 states since getting my license. Never seen a conveyor-driven. Maybe as a kid and I don’t remember it at all, but certainly not that I’ve ever knowingly encountered as a driver.

      TBF at least on the east coast the conveyor belt types have been being replaced over the last 20 years…

      I don’t even know where one still exists in the mid Atlantic.

      Still makes them young though :p
