As publicity stunts go, it's hard to top young lasses in skimpy outfits and high heels washing cars when it comes to drawing a crowd. But we didn't expect to see the Russian version.
A bunch of young women who said they are supporting Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin put on a show last week washing a Russia-made car to show their support of the domestic car industry. That's Moscow State University in the background.
The women wore bikinis and pumps, promising to wash every Russian car for free to show their support to Putin, the Associated Press reported. What? you don't have high heels in your home car-washing kit? Unfortunately, Russian cars are far less appealing than the women who wash them.
We're not sure your average Russian has a terribly high opinion of that country's cars, especially now that foreign makers such as Ford, General Motors and others are staking out their turf in Russia. As for Putin, at least he's a big fan of cars -- as we've shown you in the past here on Drive On.
