Not your average car wash

I absolutely adore car washes. I mean those flappy rubber things are always terribly exciting, but I love all the water making water falls down the car's windows. However this makes it pretty hard to see, and is quite dangerous in real driving conditions. Now only imagine if the water were sand and you were on the freeway...
A freak sandstorm killed eight drivers and injured 130 people yesterday on an eastern Germany freeway. Due to lack of visibility in both directions, over eighty vehicles crashed with one another, and were later set on fire after chemicals on one truck created a spark. Currently tewnty one people are still in hospital, some with quire serious conditions, but all are hoped to make a full recovery.

Eco-Note of the day: When you do need to wash your car go through a car wash!
Washing your car by hand in your driveway, or in a coin-wash station uses a lot more water and energy!
