Car Wash
In Germany, car repair shops often resemble medical operating theaters, but on the other side of the border things are more relaxed. This opens up space for fun games between the repair stages: car washes with golden showers, fucking during the breaks in the wrenching process and, because almost every mechanic can be assumed to have a love of exhaust pipes, lots of rear-wheel-drive action in greedy girls' asses.
