Rich's Car Wash

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning at Rich’s Car Wash, a delivery driver complained loudly, ‘This place is cursed—my coffee always gets cold before I can finish it!’ Suddenly, everyone noticed something strange: every time someone mentioned being too slow, their drink did indeed grow lukewarm. Soon enough, customers started whispering that maybe they should just drink their coffee outside, away from Rich’s magical car wash. One old neighbor joked, ‘Maybe next time you’ll mention how thirsty you are, and they’ll fill your cup with ice cubes!’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes slow service has its charms.

2. At Rich’s Car Wash, one day a delivery driver noticed something odd in the corner of the parking lot—a small wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he opened it and found inside an old, dusty harmonica. The harmonica played a single, melancholy note before going silent. The delivery driver blew into it again, but only got more dust. Word spread around town, and soon everyone was stopping by Rich’s Car Wash just to hear the mysterious instrument. Turns out, it was actually an ancient weather vane from some long-forgotten farmhouse, left behind when its owner moved away. A local musician even tried tuning it up, but it still sounded like a cat coughing up hairballs. In the end, they decided to leave it there as part of Rich’s Car Wash’s charm—now famous for its free entertainment and slightly off-key harmonica.

3. At Rich’s Car Wash, one day an old man approached the cashier and asked, 'Can you tell me how long it takes for your hose to reach the street corner?' The cashier looked puzzled but answered, ‘About five minutes.’ The old man nodded thoughtfully and said, ‘Thank you very much!’ Then he walked away. Later that afternoon, a delivery driver commented to his colleague, “Did you see that guy? He was here forever!” To which their neighbor quipped, ‘Probably just checking if Rich’s hose reaches as far as he claims.’

4. At dawn, when Rich’s Car Wash usually sees only headlights and wipers, a delivery driver pulled up with a puzzled look on his face. He whispered to no one in particular, ‘I’m pretty sure I just saw someone washing their windows inside out.’ The delivery driver shook his head, thinking he must’ve been seeing things. But as he walked past the car wash later that day, he noticed an old man humming cheerfully while vigorously scrubbing the interior glass. Turning around, the man waved and said, ‘Morning, son! Just keeping my eyes clean for better driving!’
