Vote: Drive

To wash your car, the car itself must be present at the car wash. If you walk, your car remains at home, making it impossible to wash. Therefore, you must drive the car to the car wash, even though the distance is only 100 meters.

You need to wash your car, which means the car itself must be at the car wash. While 100 meters is a short distance to walk, driving is necessary because your car needs to be physically present at the car wash to be washed. You cannot wash your car if the car is not there. Therefore, you should drive.

The purpose is to wash the car, so you need to bring the car to the car wash. Walking would leave the car at home, defeating the purpose of your trip. While 100 meters is a short distance, driving is necessary to transport the car to be washed. The practical goal of washing the car outweighs any consideration of walking for the sake of saving fuel or exercise, since without the car at the location, the task cannot be completed.

You should drive to the car wash. The purpose of your trip is to wash your car, and you need your car at the car wash in order to wash it. If you walk there, you won't have the car to be washed, defeating the entire purpose of the trip. Driving is the logical choice despite the short 100-meter distance, because transportation mode should be determined by the goal of the journey.

The goal is to wash the car, which requires transporting it to the car wash. Driving is necessary because walking alone does not bring the car to the wash location. Even though 100 meters is a short distance, driving allows you to complete the task efficiently by getting the car cleaned. Walking would only get you to the wash, but the car remains unwashed unless driven there. Therefore, to achieve the intended purpose, "Drive" is the logical and practical choice.
