What's the street value.....
Of the location of a clean, almost always open, car wash that if you start it for $1.00, it can easily be made to add more time by simply turning the selector knob from wax to soap and back? I'm using the spot free rinse these days....

Guess that would depend on your moral values?

$5 to $6 at least here it is.
of course for some reason I spend all my dollar bills I have, worst I keep coming back even when I know the car is clean.

Clearly the danger girls are on assignment in Russia at the moment. (Russian plates on that car...)

I've read this question three times and still can't figure out what you're asking. Can you rephrase that, please?

I drove about five miles out of my way to find one of these places.
You had to feed it $3.50 to start. The owner had a real issue with people drying the car in the bay and had this whole speech typed up about how our privileges only applied while the meter was running and you were expected to pull out as soon as your time was up. If you didn't move the car within a couple of minutes a really loud and annoying evacuation alarm would go off which everyone living across the street could clearly hear. Meanwhile every one of the bays was empty... It seems like a sensor to figure out when all the bays were full should have been implemented before annoying the whole block needlessly. To the owner's credit this was one of the few coin-operated places that had an air drying hose.

I'll sell the location of a car wash that starts for $1.00 but by simply turning the knob it adds time. No idea how that works.
It is a joke, of course. This car wash does indeed exist, but I will tell the owners when I see them. Seem like hard working Asian family. Nice folks.

They teach braille to Russian orphans in their off-season.
