I wouldn’t want anyone else but me washing my car, so I hope they have to get consent first.

It's wintertime in Michigan. Come spring, their cars will be nasty from all the road salt and muck. Plus, it probably won't exactly be bikini weather when they get scheduled to do it. They will be cold and grimy very quickly.

I like this community service. I suppose you could say the judge was feeling extra salty that day.
