Does it seem too much to pay ten euros to wash your car? Everyone has his own ideas, then if you visit the car wash frequently it could even occur to you to make this very questionable choice.
No one likes to spend money that could be put aside, we believe this is an established truth around the world. Sometimes though, a small expense may be necessary to avoid making irreparable damage to themselves and their stuff, as happened in this very strange and absurd case that was caught on video. The images are shocking and will make you miss your car wash.
Paying is not nice
How much does it cost to wash your car in Italy on average? spending as little as possible? The cost of a normal car wash in our country is certainly not prohibitive but not even that low: in fact it varies between 15 Euros for normal cars such as small cars and small crossovers up to 70 Euros if you own, for example a supercar or a luxury SUV that needs much more treatment in order not to end up ruined by an inexperienced worker.
Now, no one who isn’t literally Uncle Scrooge he would throw his hands in his hair in front of such an expense but it must be said that a good rule of home economics is the following: if you can do something yourself by saving money, do it. This must have thought the protagonist of a shocking video recently arrived on the web totaling over three million clicks worldwide.
Enough to dry
An alternative cheap at the car wash is the typical coin-operated vending machine that allows you to wash the car with little money, if you are very fast. Rather than throwing himself into the do-it-yourself business, however, this owner of a large car preferred to avoid spending even the 3 Euros that had been asked of him on the spot, tackling an undertaking that might seem intelligent – it could! – but which resulted in a real shipwreck. In all senses.
Faced with the prospect of spending “so much” to wash his off-roader than from the pictures looks like a Land Rover of the older generation, the owner of the vehicle has decided to put it into first gear and head to a place where water is very plentiful…and free. We don’t know what he hoped to achieve but we’ll tell you right away how the story ended: terrible.
Save money and lose your car
The episode was captured on video in the most famous province of China, Sichuan from where we regularly get absurd videos with cars as protagonists. What did this owner decide to do to save the 20 Yuan – equivalent to a very few Euros – required to wash his Land Rover? Of course, ride in a local river on a stretch where the water wasn’t that deep.
Unfortunately for our new Aquaman at that point, unbeknownst to him, the river it was regulated by a dam who operated the locks perhaps to let a ship pass an otherwise impassable section of the waterway. Naturally this caused the water level to rise dramatically forcing the man to abandon the car even risking ending up drowned!
Upon arrival of the authorities, the car appeared as you see it in the video, buried by water up to the roofall this to save the equivalent of 3 euros ended up causing a much greater expense even considering only the recovery of the off-road vehicle! Needless to say, social media exploded with ironic comments about the man’s misadventure: “Now it’s clean” someone writes.
