Car Wash Calendar Professionals Make Men Feel Dirty, Want A Clean Car

Ben Wojdyla — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 16:00:00 EDT

Most car washes we go to are operated by heavyset sweaty guys, so seeing these professional automotive sanitation engineers extolling the virtues of automated car wash systems in the "Christ Wash Systems" twelve-month calendar seems very odd. The biggest problem we see here is lack of proper safety attire. A car wash operator never wants to get into a situation where debris may cause skin abrasion. Heck, with skimpy little outfits like that, the air jets at the end might just blow them right off.

Woman Shifting Gears In Fiat 500 Oddly Entrancing

Matt Hardigree — Fri, 16 May 2008 10:40:00 EDT

Apparently, the babes pumping pedals craze never gets old. But where we previously brought you video of a young woman shifting in a dinky Citroen hatchback, we've been hipped to a site run by, who else, the Italians. This time it's scantily clad girls in Bimmers, Porsches, Ferraris and even a Seven. All that being said, the video of "Bonnie" in a short dress shifting gears in a Fiat 500D "driving, accelerating, shifting, pedal pumping" all of a sudden moves us out of neutral. This is completely safe-for-work, though people might think you're strange. (h/t Al Navarro) [Fast Driving Girls]

Lonely And Pathetic? Buy A Saleen Mustang From These Guys

Matt Hardigree — Fri, 02 May 2008 12:00:00 EDT

When we were 11 we had a bachelor uncle who proudly displayed a poster in his bedroom of a woman wearing soap and little else cleaning off a Corvette. We thought it was hot at the time but, thankfully, grew enough over the next two years to understand the difference between things that are sexy and things that are merely unpoetic attempts to allude to sex. Though not everyone, particularly people who own car dealerships, have the evolved taste we developed at age 13, we're guessing you all can see this local advertisement for a Saleen mustang for what it is: two unimpressed bottle-blondes in bikinis doing what they have to do to scrape together enough funds for that final semester of beautician's school. Though it may have helped sell a few more cars, this is only because the dealership is from a northern Dallas suburb, meaning it is even closer to Oklahoma.

Enjoy The Cars, Girls Of Boost Mobile Nightshift Without The Crabs

Matt Hardigree — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 10:40:00 EDT

Our fellow travelers at Speed:Sport:Life sojourned to Austin this past weekend for Boost Mobile Nightshift to get some photos of the cars, girls and music that make these events both interesting and completely repellent to the automotive enthusiast. Girls and cars are both topics of great interest to us, but these events manage to turn out varieties of both overdone with outrageous paint schemes/makeup, obscene designs/tattoos and carbon fiber/silicone. All that being said, the talented photogs over at SSL did manage to capture some unique versions of both cars and girls, a sampling of which we have below. [Speed:Sport:Life]

North Sea Beach Babes Dig The Volvo Amazon!

Murilee Martin — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 11:30:23 EDT

We stumbled across this photo the other day and felt it was worth sharing. Sure, we think of freezing winters and stolid safety when we think of Volvos, but what about the 8 weeks each year when Sweden has pleasant weather? Why, the locals pack up the aquavit, hop in their Amazons, and head to the beach! Click the link below for a vast collection of photos of Amazons in their homeland. – Murilee Martin

eBay Find! Discriminating Mantafahrers Pas Auf!

Davey G. Johnson — Tue, 05 Jun 2007 23:45:00 EDT

You call yourself a Mantafahrer, son? You can't be a true Manta Man without a foxtail hanging fron your aerial, and eBay seller 21clock has just the thing to replace your cruelly severed foreskin! Yes, it's a gen-u-wine taxidermied foxtail, and it's apparently already met reserve, with bidding at a low, low eight dollars and fitty cent. You owe it to yourself as a driver of GM's finest-ever product to fly one of these. You can call yourself a lone wolf, but you've gotta be crazy like a fox to rock the Manta. Show the world what you're made of! Show them what a real Mantafahrer is all about. – Davey G. Johnson

Girls Go Wild Over Bullrun; La Femme Frankl Kicks Wert's Ass In Pool

Ray Wert — Sun, 13 May 2007 12:35:04 EDT

On top of the fast cars, Bullrun's also known for the fast women — but other than a few like the lovely Annabelle Frankl, they're normally not drivers. Usually, they're just a bunch of ladies with a penchant for wildness — drawn to the fast action and even faster dropping of bills at the bar. Once in a while however those girls are of the professional variety — like those hosting the Bullrun Beantown party last night, where we partied it up with some real Girls Gone Wild. Other than their choice of dress, they were rather tame, so we participated in a touch of the wildness ourselves, ending up playing one of the more liquored-up games of pool we've yet experienced. It's the only reason we're able to come up with for why Ms. Frankl was able to school us yesterday in both driving and billiards. Yeah, well — at least we told ourselves that to help us sleep last night. Judge for yourself while we run with the rest of the bulls this morning. – Ray Wert
