Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the streets...

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

Now this is a creative way of saying "Wash Me".

Someone returned to his dirty BMW only to find this "street graffiti" rubbed into the schmutz of his sadly neglected Bavarian beauty.

If I knew that allowing my car to get filthy dirty would result in some street artist creating inspiring artwork on the side of my dirt mobile... I would gladly drive past the car wash day after day.

This is so cute... so charming... (and no, it's not my car)... I'd leave it there for as long as it would last.

Sure beats the old "Wash Me", or "Kilroy was here", doesn't it?

Love it! So creative and well done. You would hate to wash it after that! Definitely better than "wash me" on the sides or rear windshield.

Alan-= I think whoever lives on that block should start a "no car wash" campaign.  Now that's called community improvement!

Sure, like you really know or don't know if Kilroy was there.

Get real.

However, that is ONE CREATIVE shark!  Or artist.  Whichever.

That's awesome.  I wish I were that talented.  Of course, wouldn't look as cool on a white car.

I wish I were half as talented.

I haven't been near the beach since then... (well, in fairness, it could have something to do with the way I look in a Speedo).
