State Farm Pushes Peace at Hollywood Car Wash

State Farm erected some Chinese Theatre-style installations above a busy local car wash on Sunset Blvd. The vibe is very Mao meets car salesman. Overhead, banners read, “Experience peace of drive.”

Hrrm. Going Zen behind the wheel is cool while your car’s getting sudsy, but it’s a fine line between clearing your mind and falling asleep while in transit. Though if a meditative trance does guide you to someone else’s bumper, I have no doubt State Farm will appear at your side, genie-style, with a smile and a very big abacus.

Cornell researcher Vanessa Bohns has spent years studying why people agree to requests they’d rather decline, and her research consistently finds that people dramatically overestimate the social cost of saying no, which means most of the exhaustion of over-committing gets paid for a consequence that was never really on the table
