BABY GOT BATH

I hired a fella to give her a bath every other week
He travels to where ever the car is

This was her very first
She seemed to revel in the attention, arching her back first to the left, then right
I half expected to see a back tire start to reflexively thump up'n'down as her back got scrubbed

She shone proudly afterwards as all the other cars looked on with admiration

If nothing better comes along for today, this is it
=P

the driveway IS slanted . . .but the brake was on! =)

Funny. The photo itself is a bit disconcerting. It looks like the car is going to roll away. :)

Great narrative!
Guest 21-Mar-2004 21:05
LOl, great narrative on the shot, wish my car was so appreciative, she is very mean with thanks
Guest 21-Mar-2004 16:51
Maybe you missed your calling. Poetry in motion!
Guest 21-Mar-2004 08:04
we´ve got a machine who does that for our car..LOL
But this was a great photo.Nice shot
Guest 21-Mar-2004 03:21
this is a nice capture.... reminds me of the fact that my employee's have the guys come and clean their cars for $25 plus tip.... and yet I still take my car to the regular car wash for $12...Hmm...Maybe I pay them too much!
Guest 21-Mar-2004 02:01
Well... that's cool! Nice whites.
Jill21-Mar-2004 00:00
LOL loved the commentary.
Guest 20-Mar-2004 23:43
The guy really seems to like wash your car!!! Now it shines so much that you go to dazzle the other cars.

Guest 20-Mar-2004 23:32
OH I want him. My car looks dirty and I don't feel like washing it. Ok i'll park it on the driveway, maybe it's clean in the morning. It's raining cats and dogs here.
virginiacoastline20-Mar-2004 22:54
Indeed he DID have shades . . AND bubbles! LOL! I hadn't thought of that! =)
Ian Chappell20-Mar-2004 22:30
If that guy's wearing cool shades then he's my kinda geezer... Shades, the hat, the bubbles... Know what I mean!!
Carolyn B.20-Mar-2004 22:20
LOL! The picture's descriptive, but your words just cracked me up because it's so true! I remember my father selling our Oldsmobile stationwagon that we'd had for years and watching it get towed away. To this day I swear I could see that poor thing turn it's muddy headlights at us and stare at us with absolute disdain.
Guest 20-Mar-2004 21:48
yes she seems to enjoying it
Guest 20-Mar-2004 21:09
Awww, babys first bath, what a time to share.
Guest 20-Mar-2004 20:18
I don't think I've EVER washed my Sonic-Mobile...It's got a really nice salt/fog coating that seals in all the dirt. But I DO have SOAP!
virginiacoastline20-Mar-2004 20:00
nah, Ray . . home parties are always more, um, relaxing & intimate

Anna Yu20-Mar-2004 19:05
Err I wasn't sure if you were talking about a car or a cat..... Nice weather over there.
penny roots20-Mar-2004 18:51

Guest 20-Mar-2004 18:48
Hehe.... I just love candids! Had my baby washed yesterday... should be good for the rest of the week (gone up to 20C here so rain isn't really an option)
virginiacoastline20-Mar-2004 18:40
$25, Nikki . . plus travel expenses . . .LOL!
Guest 20-Mar-2004 18:35
I wonder how much it would cost for him to come and wash my car!
Nice shot, looks as though he's doing a fine job!
A Reid20-Mar-2004 18:32
Until late last year I drove a company car home. My personal car is a '96 model. It has just a little over 40K miles on it if you can believe that. On the downside the paint job is starting to look very bad. I wish I would have given it more care like you do yours.
virginiacoastline20-Mar-2004 18:31
PTHBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB @ Dazed . . .LOL!!!
Pall Gudjonsson20-Mar-2004 18:28
I had to do it all by my self today - two rather than one :-(
I like this shot .
Guest 20-Mar-2004 18:27
Oh please Pete! It's a car! Glad you're happy with "her."
