It's actually a Truck mounted Touch-Free Car Wash System.

It is 100% touch-free and delivers unrivaled cleanliness and safety. The first step in the touch-free washing process is a two stage presoak application and dwell time. The second step uses ultra high-pressure wash nozzles on various components to achieve superior cleaning. Using only water and solvents, this System provides a impressively clean car without the use of friction or your own labor !

It is a perfect thing to have at a car show to run a quick cycle before being judged ...

Throw away your California Duster. A Truck mounted Touch-Free System is the perfect choice !

I have two degrees in mechanical engineering and my professional opinion is that it’s retarded.

You clearly didn't pass the flactoid dynamics aero tard class. For shame!

The more I look at it, Is it on backwards???? Try imaging it reversed. Then it's a little overdone, but it's a long extension air spoiler.

Well that wouldn’t be inconsistent with the legal pot theory. “Here, hold my joint while I slap on this spoiler!”
