2003 BMW Salt Lick

I found out how to tell if your car needs a car wash. Today my kids were looking out the window when I heard, "daddy! A squirrel is eating your car!"

sure enough man, that sucker was licking the road salt off the bottom of my fender!

Tomorrow we're supposed to get 1-3" of snow. Oh well, maybe it will keep the squirrels away for a few more hours

I can't believe Z4s are 15 years old. Bangle cars, for as questionable as they were new, really have aged wonderfully.

I have to agree. I didn't dislike them as much as most folks, but I wasn't a fan. But yes, they've ages pretty well.

That’s because time finally caught up to their styling.

You may be on to something!  If you had an army of a few hundred squirrels, you could open a "Squirrel Tongue Car Wash" that would remove corrosive road salt from cars and prevent the damage that it causes.  I suspect most people would be willing to pay $30-$40 for the privilege.  You could be on your way to making a fortune in franchise deals!

The insurance premiums you'd have to pay for all the claims resulting from the squirrels eating the wiring would erode most of your profits.

Sound management practices could mitigate any risks.  A well-trained canine could supervise each job.  Trust me, I've thought this through.

Okay so I'll have to look up what "bangle cars" are, but as to your point, I agree. The Z4 updates have been evolutionary rather than revolutionary

and 1988redT2, you got an honest LOL out of me :)

I never thought much of them either way until I bought it this April, but every time I walk out to it, from any angle, maaaaaaaan, I just smile

Moose also do this and if they're a male with a large rack....paint and glass sometimes go missing. Count your blessing with the squirrels.

Ahhh okay I read up on it now. Bless that man, Chris Bangle. I'm not 100% on the nose, but man, those hips - the lines of the tail -- it's sooo good looking! I was trying to describe it to my wife the other day. Blank stares, just blank stares.

Without hesitation, I'd pay $40 bucks to watch a bunch of squirrels lick my car clean.

So what's the next step?  Kickstarter?  Shark Tank?

Patent the idea, although since you posted it 2 hours ago it's probably too late.

Uhhh definitely not shark tank. I mean salt water does a LOT of damage to cars, also do fish even HAVE tongues?
