I really wouldn't care if my car's registration got scanned at the car wash.
I'll really be pissed off if I'm in the bath or the shower and I get scanned though !
Hey what is heck is this bar code tattooed on my ---- never-mind.

OK well I did the logical thing and called and asked. they are using the scanner to get your plate number so they don't have to do it manually. They get the plate number to determine if you are a member of their car wash club so they'll know not to charge you:

Eager Beaver | The Car Wash & Detail Center | A Showroom Shine Every Time | 631-928-4383 (http://www.ebcarwash.com/club.php - broken link)


So I guess Big Brother really isn't using the car wash as a front..

What's the fun of conspiracy theories if you are just going to do the logical thing?

the car wash probably gets paid by an outside source to keep track of your vehicles history. I spoke to a friend about it yesterday and this is one way big brother will be able to keep an eye on you.

LOL....I'm sure they are deep in touch with Abdul at the carwash to know I cleaned my car. In fact, I bet the FBI and, quite possibly, the CIA are also checking to see what soap I bought so they know if I bathe daily. I think I will never give my Waldbuams card up at the supermarket ever again!!!!

Paranoia stikes deep...

Into your life it will seep...
