@Treedom Vellacroix You're right. The Starfire has an actual star on the grille. This one doesn't. I think they're just different models/trim packages of the base 88. Thanks.
Another interesting and enjoyable video from our culvert expert Postie. I don't think that I have ever seen an abandoned carwash before. Weird. Thanks for the fun and stay safe..
Thanks for the explanation on retention ponds. I see them all over the place, but never really knew what their purpose was or how they are designed to work. And, your explanation of why cat tails and other plants are in these ponds is fascinating. Very cool info! 🙏
You brought back forgotten memories with this one. Going with my Granddad and sitting in the car while it got washed. It was a real treat! I thought the ponds by new builds and roads were just for wildlife. Thank you for explaining. x
Great explanation of retention ponds, and of the beneficial effects of cattails. The only problem the ponds is that they are a poor substitute for the original landscape. I live just outside Pittsburgh, and everybody who lives north of the city knows about McKnight Road. It was always a commercial corridor, but starting in the 80's, developers decided it would be a great idea to pave over every single square inch of ground that could house a mall, strip mall, store or shop. The developers, engineers and township supervisors (a couple of whom should have gone to jail for accepting "gifts" from the developers) allowed for just enough retention ponds to comply with Pennsylvania regulations, the result being that any significant rain storm is accompanied by flash flooding on certain areas along the corridor.
Hope that Oldsmobile ain’t abandoned! If so, it needs a good owner. Somebody find the guy that’s letting it sit there and buy the beauty from him! Love the pastel blue color.
the car wash is still cutting the lawn, i wonder if the town shut him down for environmental reasons. if that was where i lived there would be garage doors on the bays and would be rented
I thought the same. It looked more "not in use" than abandoned. Seemed like someone was kind of taking care of it and to have that Olds covered and in good condition, probably being visited more than he thinks.
Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video, this is very much appreciated by the people. It is very important for people to know what is happening regarding the important matter of drainage, in this way they may be more careful in what they pour into the drains.
That's awesome that you found an abandoned Car Wash! I wish I lived in Massachusetts or wherever that abandoned Car Wash is. Otherwise I would definitely take some photos of that place.
The road sign says no bicycles permitted on the road; the pedestrian sign says bicycles must stay to the right on the sidewalk. It's fairly common to prohibit bicycles from automobile thoroughfares. It's unusual not to prohibit bicycle riding on pedestrian walks of way.
Power lines generate heat and that's one reason why they're seen overhead on large power poles. Also, being in open air it helps to dissipate the heat that's generated. It would, also, cost millions to switch them to underground utiltes.
Millions is peanuts. I mean, Alabama just got 1.3 billion in covid relief, and they are building new prisons with it. Its just that in the US, there are always excuses why they cant do something many other developed countries have done decades ago.

Your videos remind me of those video games where you're vantage point is just yourself walking through places, you can see your character's hand try to open doors. That looked like it was likely a very nice car in that car wash, that's so neat.
Post 10 you should buy that carwash. A good cleaning and some paint is all it needs. Those vacuums are almost indestructible, by the way. The coin mechs and bill exchangers are still there! You would be surprised the revenue a carwash makes these days.
That's why I have umbrella insurance. It's $21 for up to $1 million coverage for injuries on my property or my car(in addition to my car insurance). So if my auto insurance is maxed out it will cover it.
Looks identical to the carwash in my town. The color scheme, signage and building materials are identical for that time period. The one my town is still operating but just barely.
$17 is expensive around here for a wash. only place i've seen thats top of the line charges about $25 for a wash. most are around $10 for an automatic or about $2-3 for do it yourself
You can tell Posty’s age by the way he pronounced “Oldsmobile”...
LOL Ahldsz mobile!

Caught me off guard lol

I kind of expected him to reach down and grab it like he does with storm drains

It's free -real estate- material
Keep up the great work! I love these types of videos
I hope you do more unclogs when the leaves fall, that's prime time
Nice and beautiful area though.
Whoever leaves the Olds there is CRAAAZY! It’s going to get vandalized if it doesn’t get stolen first. 😬💔
Another awesome video Post! Keep up the great work man!

Power lines generate heat and that's one reason why they're seen overhead on large power poles. Also, being in open air it helps to dissipate the heat that's generated. It would, also, cost millions to switch them to underground utiltes.
Many other countries have built infrastructure for underground power lines. Here in Norway, for example.

That is true for transmission lines, but distribution lines are routinely put underground in new neighborhoods and when roads are widened.

Please do not assume that is homeless people. high school student do their fair share of drinking in secluded areas.
The intentional placing of nails counts as setting a trap I believe, can be prosecuted fairly heavily
I've also heard of those retention ponds being called "settle ponds" which, to me, better explains their purpose.
These Retention Ponds do both, a settle pond doesn't necessarily have to be empty before a rainfall unless it is there to restrain water

It is cool to see those culverts
It's funny how in some ways they spared no expense on their drainage system, but then turned around and cheaped out on something simple.
It’s a massive place ! They are tiny in the UK .

That sign at 12:30… “We will reopen at 10:30 tomorrow weather permitting.” I guess the weather didn’t permit it… :/
I’m surprised none of those car wash vendings were not broken into.
"Odsmobile"
Morgan Dollar, before his time, was my first thought.
I’m in the Danish countryside, because in town, everyone has to de-snow their sidewalks. I’m far enough out, so there’s no sidewalks 😄
Those Four Seasons Auto Wash were a chain and still are to an extent I believe
Thanks Chet
Please tell me you said Oddsmobile not Oldsmobile, that sounded classic 😂👍
Beautiful Scenery
My car wash's 'the works' price just went up from $17 to $19 a couple months ago.
That's why I have umbrella insurance. It's $21 for up to $1 million coverage for injuries on my property or my car(in addition to my car insurance). So if my auto insurance is maxed out it will cover it.

"someone left a big turd there"
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME UGLY LAUGH TODAY
Couple of walls and a door i'd live in that carwash
Great rehab! Could make small houses. Solid cement walls. Great structures
Love your videos!!!!
no tour is complete without "a big turd right there" LOL!! Good hike, Post 10!
Leaving that ‘62 Oldsmobile there is either brave or stupid, that’s a pretty rare car.
I’m building a new car wash in north reading If you ever want to record it. Stay safe post🙏🏽
I used to work at a car wash. It’s was the one you get out and pulls your car though.
I live across the river. Hahaha. Thanks for coming up the Upper Valley digs it.
“Hey Post 10”.. “ Thanks for sharing”
Wish someone would restore or fix that car
8:57 if i had the keys to that car i would be driving it by the looks of the car its a mid 60's to early 70's Oldsmobile.
'62 Super 88
"Someone left a big turd there" obviously needs more embellishment.
damn!! That's where I put my Oldsmobubble!!
That gas (code 1971) is Methane, if anyone didn't know or was curious
Nice find 👍
It looks like a shower stall drain on the side of the road. Rather comical. Just me. 😁

No walk around on the stolen Olds?
What is the area you cover? Also how do you find the time? I love your videos. It helps me relax after a long day.
New england
Ive seen him in Vermont, new york, new hampshire, Massachusetts, im pretty sure he has done a video in Pennsylvania if i remember right
Great video. Did they buy and the car wash? Did they demolish ir? Just curious
Wow if you read the reviews on that car wash, apparently it was terrible. No wonder it closed.
Yet again, another entertaining video!
Gray water discharge….? Call the state DEP.
Our local automatic car wash here in PA has a maximum of $11.00. These here are expensive.
ArmorAll wipes are great. Can get them even here, really gets the dirt off.
Basic wash for $9.00? I think I understand why this guy went out of business. Those prices aren't all that great even now.
I want to know more of the bike lanes, hope you do a video one day please
