First you need to get on track
Before I start my attack
Once you relinquish control
Then my parts may start to roll
A few stages you must pass
Before applying the gas
Finally you make it through
Your shell has been made like new
What am I?

Answer
a car washlines 1-2: When you enter the car wash you must let the automated "track" system guide your car properly through it.
lines 3-4: Once you have placed your car in the proper gear position and let the car wash take control of your forward movement, the car wash's cleaning brushes "may start to roll".
lines 5-6: The car wash's cleaning procedure is comprised of a certain number of "stages" (e.g. wash and dry cycles) that you must go through before you will be able to return to regular vehicle operation.
lines 7-8: When you have finished going through the car wash, "your shell" i.e. the exterior of your vehicle, has been cleaned and thus has been "made like new".

Quick and fairly easy, but not immediately obvious. Stanza #1, You're a pinewood derby car? Stanze #2, Yes! It is a pinewood derby car. Stanza #3, Gas? Damn. Um..., Stanza #4 ah I see what you must be. Wait, that means *I* am a car. Interesting twist to antianthropomorphize (tm) your reader!
Glad you liked it, Snowdog.
I liked it a lot, but I didn't get it. I get it, just didn't figure out the answer. You know what I mean!
ez pz; maybe a nice one for the kiddies?
It's always exciting to see great new teasers make the daily rotation so they can reach a wider audience. Thanks eds! Gratz TFF.
I did not get it but enjoyed the teaser. I was thinking racecar instead of car wash so I came close.
Nice to see that the overall reception for this teaser is favourable. Thanks for your comments.
