car wash crashIf you've ever gotten your car washed, you'll know that it's one of the easiest things you could ever possibly do. Finding your keys, walking to your car, turning it on -- all of these tasks are exceedingly more difficult than actually getting your car washed. There's nothing complex about stopping a car or putting it in neutral. And yet, for some, it seems that that is in fact too much to ask. But who are theses challenged folks and what does their incompetence look like? Here are 15 exquisite examples.

Just when you think it can't get any worse...



One car goes crashing into another. So what to do you do? Hose it off. That's the sign of a true professional.



At the last minute, she decided she didn't need it cleaned.



Runaway Hose



Runaway Car



What? You've never had the urge to get out of your car and walk around?



I guess the inside was dirty too.



There's nothing sexier than falling on the ground.



I wonder if this driver got a ticket.



Oh, yeah. I'm towing a trailer full of cars.



The car's fine, but the video camera he mounted on top of the car so that he could capture the magic of a car wash on film, not so much.



And...he almost dies.



She mistakes the accelerator for the brake, somehow speeds across a four line highway without killing herself, and the worst part is: She totally freaked out the poor dryer girl.



Hey, I think I'll get out for a minute.



This was no accident, but still...



At least it's brushless.

The Girl Who Could Fly

Take a quick peek into the world of Jason Chan and you'll be dazzled by all of the mystical creatures. It's where flying children, rock monsters and beautiful sorcerers are as commonplace as ghosts, unicorns and dragons.

Combining his love for video games with his skill for drawing, Chan was destined to become an artist. His fantastic fantasy world will open your mind up to a whole other level - making you wonder what's truly possible.

"I love to draw. Ever since I was a kid I've always been drawing characters for make believe video games, cartoons and comics. I also loved drawing my favorite X-men characters, warcraft heroes, and video game sprites. I drew a million Mega Man and Mario drawings. As I grew up, that love for video games and fantasy never left me. I grew to love fantasy novels and that inspired my work. Many of my favorite video games were japanese made so as I drew the characters from those games, I began to fall for the anime style. Of course, that lead me to watch anime - an addiction I still haven't been able to shake. After a couple of yearsof horrible attempts at manga style art, I began school in San Francisco and actually got some decent life drawing and anatomy practice. I began to to be exposed to some of the western masters such as Sargent, Leyendecker, Rockwell, and Frazetta. I embraced the esthetics of western art and tried to improve myself in that direction. Now I am trying to marry my western art education with my eastern art interest and see what happens." - Jason Chan
