** At a car show we see a requisite sexy model posing with a car. A customer asks "Do you come with the car?" She giggles "Oh, you! Tee-hee!" And then another guy comes along, and the ''exact same'' transaction occurs.

Attractive women, usually not wearing very much, draped over cars or motorbikes or doing [[ModelingPoses other poses]] that highlight the vehicle. It also counts if [[FanserviceCarWash they're washing said vehicle]] and there are suds in interesting places...

* ''Series/TheNewAvengers''. Purdy goes through a carwash clinging to the roof of a car for plot related reasons and despite being washed, waxed and dried [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ggi8IfQ31nc still manages to look gorgeous]].

* In ''[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Robin]] #31'' Tim and Ariana went on a date to a car show where some of the cars were accompanied by models in midriff revealing outfits. When Tim spots a celebrity and gets Ari's attention she is furious with him thinking he's trying to point out a scantly clad model but he's spotted [[ComicBook/{{Wildcat}} Ted Grant]], a former boxing champion and, though he doesn't mention this bit of course, a member of the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica.

* Mikela Banes from the ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' film franchise is treated this way by her initial boyfriend [[MaleGaze and by the way she's framed by the camera]]. She's actually a bit of a WrenchWench though and actually knows more about cars than any of the male cast.

* Allegedly, Creator/MichaelBay auditioned an 18-year old Creator/MeganFox for ''Film/{{Transformers}}'' by filming her washing his ferrari.

* The Occult Research Club does this while washing a car in the Season Four ending theme of ''LightNovel/HighSchoolDXD''.

A SisterTrope to FashionModel (and may overlap if the model is showing off the car and outfit).

* Go to any car show. Motorcycle show. Boat show. "Booth babes" are everywhere, especially at SEMA [[note]]Specialty Equipment Market Association [[/note]] in Las Vegas, where they'll be advertising everything from turbochargers to car wax.

* Spoofed on a Super Bowl ad starring model Kate Upton. Instead of her washing the car (as the opening promises), she has some love-struck football players [[FavorsForTheSexy to do it for her]].

* Parodied with Subaru ads. Instead of attractive girls, they feature sumo wrestlers, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vasc8ghyu1g seen here]].

* There's a little of this going on in Music/GirlsGeneration album covers for [[http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nmFapa6LK6Q/TaEkI3FOPqI/AAAAAAAAAhY/xsVSDQLUCSA/s320/Mr+Taxi+Run+Devil+Run+Album+Artwork.jpg ''Mr. Taxi'']]/[[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5tRvv8Gbs80/Tafqh0vHvcI/AAAAAAAAB4A/fih_cOY0b0Y/s1600/%25E5%25B0%2591%25E5%25A5%25B3%25E6%2599%2582%25E4%25BB%25A3+-+MR.TAXI+Run+Devil+Run.jpg ''Run Devil Run'']].

* Music/PapaRoach and Music/{{Buckcherry}}'s "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sm2R2KFPFpo Turn Me On]]"

* Here is the DieselPunk version by [[http://lipatov.deviantart.com/art/Photosession-Wallpaper-wide-180261145 Lipatov]].

See also PitGirls (attractive young women used as eye candy at motor races). If the girl is actually riding the motorbike, see BikerBabe.

* The Trophy Girls in ''VideoGame/CrashTeamRacing'' are basically a quartet of these. Of course, like the ''Ridge Racer'' example above, they eventually become racers and get rebranded as the Nitro Squad in [[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled the remake]], with Tawna joining them as their leader.

** Subverted to hell and back with the Simpsons/FamilyGuy crossover: Both Homer and Peter don Daisy Dukes and do a sexy car wash.
