‘Star Wars' Car Wash by G4 Raises Money for Make-A-Wish

— April 30, 2010 — Autos
The ‘Star Wars’ car wash is my dream come true. The fact that I could not be a part of this momentous event is tearing me apart on the inside.

The ‘Star Wars’ car wash was put on by G4, with all the proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Beautiful women decked out in Princess Leia slave outfits washing cars alongside Stormtroopers and Jawas is the best thing to ever happen to the world. The 501st Legion provided the costumes, and playmate Sara Jean Underwood had hosting duties. I can’t believe I missed this. I may never wash my car again.
