...do you get to see an epic fail like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4kRLh0Wu_0

Long story short, I was lined up at Husky on Garden City & Bridgeport to get a car wash. Chinese c-lai lady leans out the window to punch in the code and opens the trunk of her car. I honked a few times to let her know, but she drives right into the car wash, with her trunk wide open.

[RCubed]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL BAHAHAHAAAAAA

[jeedee]

LOL :failed:

I wonder what her reaction was when she opened the trunk after the car wash lol

[roastpuff]

Haha, the car wash kind of closed the trunk back up.

[LiquidTurbo]

At least it closed back up! HARHAR.

Off topic. what the best carwash place in Richmond? I have found that the Chevron @ Ironwood cleans better than Washworld down the street.

[donjalapeno]

:fullofwin: thats fuckin gold.

[Teriyaki]

At least it closed back up! HARHAR.

Off topic. what the best carwash place in Richmond? I have found that the Chevron @ Ironwood cleans better than Washworld down the street.

I've nary heard a positive review of WashWorld, only good for when its -10 and you have a groupon to use up.

[Amuse]

Isn't there a opened trunk light in the dash?

[Ride]

she had no idea it was open or that it closed since c-lai's never seem to use mirrors, but when she does open her trunk and find it soaked inside she'll just take back to the dealer and say it's leaking water

[epicbeardman]

Why is she on the brakes the whole time? Hasn't she heard of the e brake?

[Groot]

Isn't there a opened trunk light in the dash?

lol c-lai's cant tell for shit whats says what in the dash

[RevRav]

C-Lai was probably thinking: Exterior + interior wash for the price of 1! :fullofwin:

[Domani]

Isn't there a opened trunk light in the dash?

yes, but most c-lais prob have no idea what they mean/do. they only know the emblems on the car.

[stewie]

lol c-lai's cant tell for shit whats says what in the dash

she probably has the gas pedal painted green and the brake pedal painted red to let her know wich one makes her go forward and wich one makes her stop...

[Mr.Money]

probably an old bitch that had her nose up in the air not caring the person is honking behind her...pwn.

[RCubed]

yes, but most c-lais prob have no idea what they mean/do. they only know the emblems on the car.

This.
I had a friend whos mom had a SLK and didnt know it was a convertible for 2 years.

[Nightwalker]

This.

BAHAAHAHAHA WTF!

I bet the next time she opens the trunk, she has NO IDEA why it's soaking wet in there.

Fucking fail!

[murmur]

richmond special indeed. :fullofwin:

[FRStan]

Wow I'm speechless.

:failed:

[Eatman]

hah, the damage was already done before the trunk was closed. shitty for her

[- kT]

only in richmond <- completely true

[MG1]

only in richmond <- completely true

....because C-Lai's in Point Grey are better?

[Domani]

This.

GOLD.

[EmperorIS]

i'm going to send this clip to all the benz dealership in the lower mainland so when this retard imbecile goes to a dealership to complain .. hopefully she gets a face full of cock slap embarrassment

[AVS_Racing]

[jack3d]

[dat_steve]

would have loved to see her get out and close it while the super water jets were spraying

[busdriverman]

This.

watttttttt

one of the reasons i would get an SLK is because it was a vert!

[Vansterdam]

:lol :bowrofl:

[ae101]

whats funny is i have seen that before near my house, some mainlander lady just drove off to a 3 was intersection with her trunk open like its not a big deal

& yesterday on the highway me & my dad saw a this civic driving at 60km/h & that civic had a tool on the trunk & it didn't fall off & no one knew in till the VW next to him told them during traffic jam

[matrixfwd]

what did you mean she was punching in code?

[MK-EK]

This.
I had a friend whos mom had a SLK and didnt know it was a convertible for 2 years.

did she find out at a shop on bridgeport?! :) b/c i think i might have helped her discover this

[Qmx323]

what did you mean she was punching in code?

leaning out the window to press the button i assume

[palepilsenpin0y]

You never know, she might have wanted her trunk cleaned out too :fullofwin:

[FerrariEnzo]

im sure she heard the noise from the trunk being closed THAT hard!! too bad you didnt get a video of her facial expression!

[CP.AR]

her trunk was dirty, needed to get to clean.

車尾污染， 要切低咁清洗一下，有問提咩？

[TOPEC]

she wanted to steal the water!!

[midnight_r]

2 for 1 baby!
only in ..Richmond...

[mickz]

LOL I was at this Husky car wash back in December. I went in to pay and proceeded to the car wash. I made a right turn, pulled up to the keypad and I started typing in the code on the receipt. Just as I'm about to enter the last couple of digits I hear someone yelling NOOOOOOOOOOO STOPPPPPPPP. Turns out one of the employees were standing inside the car wash and I never bothered to look until he started to book it out of there. Would've been hilarious and dangerous at the same time had I entered the entire code.

This is a pretty shitty car wash though, my car was not clean afterwards.

[Greenstoner]

thats epic

[PiuYi]

This.

vansky moms are probably driving at least a E class ,

[Presto]

Too bad it wasn't a touchless carwash. It could have ripped off that trunk lid, like this guy's door:

[TRDood]

did she even stop and look at the damage after? or just drove off as if nothing happened?

[kyoshiro]

i think she wanted her trunk interior washed as well LOL
today i had a mainlander c-lai walk slowly across the street in Richmond when it was green light for the cars. I be like D:
they seriously dont know that the do not cross light means do not cross.

[CP.AR]

I believe this tops the greatest thread for 2011 so far

[Levitron]

Whoa...totally never expected so many views on this!

And Jalopnik too!!!

Anyways, the c-lai had it coming. Before all this started, she was blocking traffic with her not moving up the line so that cars could pass by easier. She was either oblivious (which I think is more the case here) or just being a jerk about it. When she leaned out the window to punch in her code to activate the carwash, her trunk popped open. I thought she would leave the car and close it.

But she didn't.

So I honked. And honked. It wasn't as if I didn't try to help. She didn't care and she had it coming. At that point I just started to do video and pictures.

[Datsun]

In on epic thread

[CorneringArtist]

WOW...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Jsunu]

Jesus, our c-lai drivers are so bad in Richmond we get Jalopnik blog highlight posts about it :facepalm:

[tiger_handheld]

I want to hank ALL of you who posted on this thread. THANK for the laughs!!

[Euro7r]

A lot of dumb people these days.

[nns]

OT,

Is it pronounced "Lee-vi-tron", "Lev-e-tron", or "Le-vi-ah-tron"?

[vafanculo]

I'm glad you didn't do anything else than honk. Had you gotten out if your car and closed the trunk, my money is on you wouldn't even have gotten a 'thank you'.

[Manic!]

We a lady to to our gas station 3 times to get gas and 3 times she hit a metal pole and left without any gas.

[Orion]

you probably can't see it but she forgot to roll up her window after punching in the number... she's wondering why its raining inside the car wash the whole time... nevertheless car about the trunk

[RevYouUp]

[cococly]

Even autoblog.com has your video OP.

Time to talk to youtube and make $ on it. :fullofwin:

[asahai69]

apparently some chick crashed through the front windows of that gas station not too long ago. lol

[slammer111]

That has got to be a record for the # of thanks for one post. What are the chances of something like this being captured by an RS member.. :lol
Isn't there a opened trunk light in the dash?Not sure about the W204 (car in the video), but for the previous-gen W203 the door/trunk alarms only show up above ~5km/h.

[CP.AR]

Send it to Fairchild TV as those "picture of the day" lol.

did you issue to local MB dealers yet?

[Levitron]

I was just told my video got reuploaded by someone to MSN videos as well. You guys might see it come up on the MSN banner at the bottom of the Live Messenger contact window.

Lol imagine if you got youtube partnership money after this

[death_blossom]

someone on RS has to know the owner of that car. she must have complained about it to someone by now. I'm sure she was completely oblivious that the trunk was wide open. she is probably preaching to all her friends at the mahjong table how Husky drenched her trunk and how Mercedes' are crap.

[RevRav]

Wonder if they accept videos.. haha

I bet she doesn't know for awhile unless she frequently opens her trunk.

[gearshifter]

water is free! FREE STUFF! lol

[BrRsn]

who said car washes don't clear door jambs?

C-lai: 1
Autodetailers: 0

[racerman88]

not surprised

[Prolowtone]

Lmao. That is just great. I wish the trunk did not close, but i would like to have scene the facial expression when the thing slammed shut that hard.
