The .35 gas thing reminded me of this.

Back in the day the BP on hillsborough/gorman car wash would work if you typed in 50918. I know I told at least 20 people about this and probably got my car washed there 30 or 40 times. I remember the line used to get soooo backed up (like out on to gorman) I thought hundreds of people had to know it.

The finally caught on and changed it but I had been using the code for at least 6 months by then. I wanted to make this thread to see if anyone else knew about it, or any other stories about an acidentally free/retardedly discounted thing getting out of control.

That wasn't the only code, there were tons of them that worked

for me at least

and it wasn't just BP

4/14/2008 4:15:29 PM

^ agreed. i knew three different ones that worked on that machine.

are you sure you werent reminded about this by the section at the bottom of the $.35 gas thread that talks about the code for the car wash at the BP on hillsborough street. seems sketchy, more investigation needed

That mofo ripped the plastic trim right off my bumper.

ahhhh, so it was talked about at the bottom of the other thread precisely 9 minutes before this thread was made. hmmmm, something fishy is going on here

4/14/2008 4:19:57 PM

Damn, I wish I knew about this.

4/14/2008 4:31:07 PM

It was 2002-2003.

4/14/2008 4:32:08 PM

I still wish I would have known about it

At that time I was going to the do it yourself carwash on western. It seemed more expensive then, compared to the cost of gas.

4/14/2008 4:36:01 PM

I knew 2 or 3

4/14/2008 4:37:24 PM

if your talkin about the on next to applebees and snoopys it used to be 615750

4/14/2008 4:38:07 PM

all i know is the crown right there across from the BP and now a snoopys used to be the BEST place to steal ice for parties...because the ice machine wasnt visible from the counter, so you'd buy a bag while getting some beer or whatever, and be like my friend is loading it, and then meanwhile he'd be grabbing 10 or 15 because they were bundled in packs of 5

One of the first "touch free" car washes in Rocky Mount that had a very very very weak method of creating the codes. I could almost always guess a working code on the first try and I think the most it ever took me was three tries.

4/14/2008 4:48:30 PM

50918 worked in 2004, that's the last time I used it.

4/14/2008 5:06:18 PM

wow, forgot bout this. Back in HS we knew the code to the BP on creedmore. Most of my friends used it when they didn't have anywhere else to smoke. I actually had a nice car back then so it came in handy

Used what? What are you talking about?

4/14/2008 5:43:16 PM

hhahahaha the 35 cent gas, wheres the thread on that? i really wanna go pick on the scumbag people who ripped it off and are now crying cause they're getting charged 80 bucks on their cards

4/14/2008 6:02:57 PM

fuck that. cash only at gas stations for me unless its company card. exxon isnt gonna fuck me any harder than they already do.

4/14/2008 6:12:00 PM

lol, i remember the car wash.

i had a clean car for at least a year or two.

they also had codes i think for teachers or something. and sometimes you had to be careful getting your car washed, they would come out and bitch at you.

twas a good deal though. saved tons

4/14/2008 6:19:51 PM

we had the code for the crown station in fuquay for the summer before senior year of HS. no idea why they didnt just change it

I vaguely remember passing out in my own car, with someone else driving, as fuck. I don't remember if we ed there or if I was just that high and we went to the car wash.

smoking pot in the carwash. Nobody can really see what your doing so bake the car and unroll the windows when ya get out, smoke goes out with the steam

4/14/2008 7:35:41 PM

Used to know the code for the car wash at BP on Hillsborough Rd in D-town; the code definitely got passed around left and right to the point of overcrowding, which was eventually a red flag. If it would have stayed more low key, it could have lasted indefinitely, but eventually some people got in trouble from what I heard....and yes a drive through car wash is great for in a pinch.
