Since the pandemic, I don’t drive much, and my poor car gathers dirt in the carport. I am using the LW car washing station since I am leery of the human contact involved in going to a professional carwash.

Whoever put together the car wash station seems unaware that it would be used exclusively by old people. It is located by Clubhouse 2 and consists of a concrete area with marked spaces and several old, stiff hoses wrapped around holders on the fence. The water comes out of the hoses full force, and there is nowhere for it to go, so it collects in puddles and splashes all over.

It is difficult to direct the water at your car, while navigating deep water at your feet. There are drains in the slab but the water pools there. Maybe they are plugged with something.

There are also spaces in which to park your car and dry it off, but I just turn the water off, try to wind the stiff black hose over the holder and drive my car back to my area where I park and then wipe the water off the car with rags, not a pleasant experience, especially for a creaky old woman.

With all the hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on upgrading the swimming pool and the golf course, I wonder why a little of our money could not be spent in upgrading the car wash area to make it more user friendly.
