When I heard ponies had opened a car wash, I had to stop in and investigate. Under normal circumstances, nobody washes my Mustang but me. Considering these abnormal circumstances, is it time to make an exception?

Sweet!
I'd drive to that car wash, no question.
Pop-up headlights are awesome. I always play with them when a car that has them comes into the shop.
Also, thanks for the cameo!
Ah, Kimono. Tied with Razzaroo for my favorite G3 pony.
9830043
And the only one smart enough to live outside Minty's blast radius.
Speaking of Razzaroo, I really need to write something starring her.
This was a very fun read.
I enjoyed the adorable little details given to each pony, you painted a fun SoL picture of this scene wonderfully.
I felt as if I were an onlooker, enjoying this cute sight.
I can't believe no one's pointed out the humor in a bunch of mares washing a mustang.
In which I learn about Mustangs having sequential indicators. Audis do something similar here too with an LED strip.
9924708
I've seen those around. When did they start adding those to Audis? And I think I've seen an Audi that does the front turn signals too.
The earliest car I know of to have sequential lights was the 1965 Ford Thunderbird.

It was only a few years back. Not long at all.

I miss hidden headlights. Extending antennas, too.
Reading this felt therapeutic.
Like reading a good Spa Ponies story.
I enjoyed it
9932404
My Supra had one of the extending antennas too. I really did love that car! I'm going to have to get another one someday.
Uh... how did I miss this till now?
And why are the thumbs up disabled?
You do us all a disservice by making it hard to find such a lovely story by hiding the ratings!
I'm looking to save for an Escort XLT (96) in a nice shade of red. The one my grandma has is gorgeous
No one would blame him if he did.
Absolutely believable.
Awww...
Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
But why is the rating disabled? It prevented me from giving you a well-deserved upvote...
Surprise?? Did Pinky have a daughter who inherited her quirks?
10767735
Not quite, but there's a good reason their personalities are so similar. Surprise is the G1 pegasus that Pinkie Pie was based on.

Huh, that is interesting. I am amused that AJ basically didn’t change at all though. Also interesting Fluttershy could have looked like Cadence.
All definitely true...but personally, the times I've seen cars that had those in the years since, I've noticed the consistent pattern of the mechanisms working the flip-up lights being among the first things to give out. And if the headlights don't flip-up, they're pretty much worthless to you, the driver.
They were indeed a cool novelty of their time, but I suspect practicality and reliability was what eventually won out, as is the case with so many other things. The advent of LED lights and overall advances in headlights altogether, as well as changes in automobile regulations appears to have also accelerated the decline, according to some quick research.

My Supra was more than fifteen years old when I got it, and the lights never failed to go up together. I couldn't say the same of Pontiacs of the same vintage, as I saw many Fieros and Firebirds winking. Same with Ford Probes and Mazda Miatas. But yes, your point is valid. We'll probably never see pop-ups on another car - in addition to being wholly unnecessary due to modern LED lighting, hideaway lights are more expensive to produce, and European pedestrian safety laws prohibit protrusions from the surface of the car.
Technology marches on. While I can't argue that they're wholly unnecessary, I still lament the lack of pop-ups on modern cars nonetheless.
Bifröst is a freakin' awesome name.
VALHALLA!
Excellent story, and you really gave your age away with all these car and song references!
Well done!
This was cute! I would've given it a thumb up if the ratings weren't disabled, so I'm putting it in my 'Upvoted' shelf anyway.

Thank you!
11255309
Thank you!
That I did! Long live the '80s!
Who is Bifröst? She sounds like an OC. Is she an OC?
11259405
She's one of the students at the School of Friendship, but I don't think she ever had a single line of dialogue. She's the pink pegasus in the title image.
Her name is fanon, as I doubt anyone at Hasbro or DHX ever decided to give her an official one. Even Gameloft couldn't give her anything better than 'Peppy Friendship Student':

Now I'm hungry.
The fact that you actually know car model names, and their generation models is enough to get a like from me.

same here
That was fun. The self-insert wasn't distracting, and the pony antics were enjoyable. Another up-vote if it were possible.

Thank you!
