I remember reading a biography of Jeff Bezos some years ago (sorry, I don't remember the title or the author). The book related the same story about the car wash and the influence it had on Bezos.
The only (small) point in the article that's different from the book was: "When he [Richard Howorth] pressed Bezos for details on his plans, the businessman remained poker faced." According to the book, Bezos went around telling everyone in the class that he intended to open an on-line bookstore, to which everyone more or less laughed in his face.
