That depends entirely on how much you enjoy a good comedic spectacle!
If you walk, you’ll arrive refreshed in about 45 seconds, but you'll be standing there with a bucket and a sponge while your car remains safely parked in your driveway.
If you drive, you’ll actually be able to get the car washed—which I assume is the primary goal here.
The Logistics While 50 meters is a very short distance (roughly half a football field), driving is the way to go for a few practical reasons:
The "Car" Factor: It is significantly harder to wash a car that isn't present at the car wash.
The Wet Interior: Even if you managed to carry your car there (impressive!), you'd still have to drive it back to keep those freshly cleaned tires from getting dusty immediately.
Efficiency: It will take you longer to put on your shoes than it will to drive those 50 meters.
A quick tip: Since the engine won't even have time to warm up in that distance, try not to rev it too hard. Just a gentle roll over to the bays will do.
Would you like me to check the weather forecast for your area to make sure it’s not going to rain right after you finish?

Why am I holding a bucket and sponge at the car wash? Doesn’t someone (or a machine) do that for me?
Depends on the car wash. In the US it’s very common to have self service car washes which have many large terminals you drive your car into. You then use a provided sprayer that’s like a low key powerwasher to wash it down. Many people bring sponges/rags to use as well.
