DO NOT WASH prints out on all of my work orders at the dealer and I also make a large note of the same when I use the night drop.

Hell, I was in Snowball two weeks ago, opened the "hood" to check the fluids.

Else I'm sure you would've been worried if they were using Dawn dish soap and dropped sponges on your finish.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Passed by a charity car wash and decided to make a stop. Kids were in awe of the car, even knew it was a Porsche. I explained to the young boy in the red and yellow shorts that he should not be impressed, that it's a 996. Strangley, he was unaware of the IMSB issue, the ugly headlights, and the fact that the car is likely to explode if you don't change the oil before each start. Oh how I yearn for those days of ignorant bliss.
Everyone I meet loves my 996. Girls, guys, car people.
Hell, I was in Snowball two weeks ago, opened the "hood" to check the fluids. Two guys in Ford pick-up stopped to compliment the car and asked if I need a jump.
Classic! Weren't you afraid that it might melt being washed in such conditions?
You may have influenced some very young minds that will start dreaming about their own P-car.
The local Boy Scout troop does car washes every so often, and I'll take my Boxster there; despite being a 10 year old/100k mile car with its share of dings, the kids' reaction is priceless. Our cars may be mundane to us, but they're still rather exotic to much of the public. It's also rather funny how careful and delicate the kids are with it: they'll half-*** through the SUVs, but always do a really good job washing my Porsche
Great stuff! I bet you made the day for quite a few kids with such a generous doing.
Don't feel bad about the need for a re-wash. DO NOT WASH prints out on all of my work orders at the dealer and I also make a large note of the same when I use the night drop.
On a similar note:
About a month ago the older brother of the friend of my 14 year old son had a high school graduation party. For a few years this kid was always standing at the end of his driveway when ever I dropped off or picked up my son. I finally asked my son if something was wrong with the kid because he was ALWAYS standing at the end of the driveway. My son laughed and said "no dad, he just loves your cars, especially they way they sound coming down the road and since he knows when you are coming he knows when to stand in the driveway".
Long story short - I let the kid drive my C2 as his "graduation gift". He loved it and was beaming from ear to ear as all of his friends just stared open mouthed when he drove by. His Father later pulled me aside and thanked my profusely and told me my cars were all his son ever talked about and his son always asked his dad if he thought I'd ever let him drive one of them. Turns out it was a most pleasant surprise for the kid and his family.
I figure this kid will remember that drive far longer than $100 bucks in a silly card. Cash goes fast - memories last.
