I would anticipate a CarWashing model, which has_one Car and one
CarWashStation, along with details about the time of the washing, what
soap was used, and which attendants conducted it (through an
AttendantsCarWashings join table), etc. A Car would then have many
CarWashings, and a named scope could give the current_car_washing.
Or something like that.
