This was printed on a sign carried by a young lady in a bathing suit who was hawking a car wash. Apparently some type of fund raising event. Another young woman had a sign that said “Your car is almost as dirty as my boyfriend.” There were other people carrying signs trying to entice drivers to give them donations in return for a carwash (you’re not allowed to panhandle in Dallas, so no outright request of funds is allowed). These were all obviously adults, so there wasn’t any suggestion of age inappropriate behavior involved.
I _almost_ stopped for a carwash myself. You gotta admire a persuasive sales pitch.

I’d be thinking… “Skank, there’s no fucking way you’re touching my car! I’ll never get your cooties off my leather.”

It also misleadingly implies that you _would_ get laid in a clean one.

I’m too old to get laid in a car.

They lost my business at “car”.
I drive a pickup truck. There’s a reason it’s called a ‘bed’. 😉

However the only thing that gets laid in there are 2x4s :smack:

Perhaps with a large enough donation?

In that case, you’d have to pay them to clean it again afterwards.

Heh, you think that’s bad? Across the street from where I live is one of those fundamentalist Pentacostal churches, you know, the kind where the women aren’t allowed to wear pants, can’t style their hair or cut it short, and don’t wear make up. Last year, they had a car wash to raise money for the church and the women were all out there in their usual attire (can’t imagine that it’d be fun to wash a car while wearing a full length denium skirt). Meanwhile, a few blocks away at the local Walmart, the high school cheerleaders were also having a car wash to raise money. They were all dressed in bathing suits, t-shirts, and shorts. I’ll give you three guesses as to which one had the long line of people waiting to get their car washed, and which one didn’t have more than one or two people show up.

I didn’t think it was bad, I thought it was great! I laughed for about the next two blocks. I hope they made a ton of cash for whatever it was they were supporting.

Was this on upper Greenville? One of the strip clubs there has an anual carwash and they do that sort of thing if I remember correctly.

Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. However, I found that the novelty wore off quickly, and it hurt my back. I’m too old for that kid stuff.
Recently, I sat in the backseat of my car for the first time ever. I am 6’2", and 200 pounds, in the back of a Chevy Prizm. That pretty much ruled out for me any future attempts at fornication in that particular location. About the only place less comfortable would be the backseat of a Volkswagen.
How is it that noone has yet made that joke in this thread??

Blasted itchy-mouse finger cut my post short.

I think I saw that movie! Were they having the car wash to raise money to stop greedy developers from foreclosing on the club’s mortgage?

Well, that’s only because **I** didn’t show up yet.
Actually, about a month ago, I did have sex in the backseat of a Volkswagen. And it was pretty damn uncomfortable. And I’m only 5’9" and 160.
My buddy asked me to come down to his cousin’s HS car-wash last summer, and they were doing the same thing. Suggestive signs, low-rise short-shorts and bikini tops, garden hoses, soapy water…
wha’? where was I?
Oh. I bought a couple dozen donuts for their… efforts. Damn.
