Why is that loofa (shower scrunchie)on the roof of your car
 
Hi all,
As a new villager (finally) I am wondering why some people have loofas? (shower scrunchies) on the roof of their cars. I have seen cars with them parked around The Villages, (mostly at the town squares) and on the roads surrounding TV. Is it a villager thing or some other local custom, club, etc.? Any ideas?

Is that an elderly smear?

My Mother used one on her suitcase and never had a problem at luggage claim...

Have seen this in many places be it a young or old population.

Do you mean a nylon net, poufy looking ball of different colors, or an actual loofah, which is tan? Never seen a loofah on a car roof... Or anything on a car roof except a forgotten drink (moi) or briefcase (hubs). Identifying aids on car antennas sometimes...

It's so they can identify to others that they are "swingers".

That is too funny. Glad I am not at that point yet but I often forget where I parked in the Walmart lot. I think my sister will need this info for her car and golf cart so I will pass it on.

Gee Doug, maybe you need to explain the color coding before I get myself in trouble!

Me too! Hmm: Pink for women, blue for men, red white and blue for veterans, green for rich, blue for really rich, purple for royalty, etc. And would that be the advertiser or the "in search of?" :icon_wink:

We just got a new white car that looks like most other white cars in the parking lot, that seems to be drowning in white cars this year. So the little scrunch tiger on the roof really helps me get to spot my car faster, especially when I forget exactly where I have parked it. I wish I could put one on my golf cart but can't figure out how it could be attached easily and still be easily spotted from afar.

Might try a suction cup on roof.

Why do I not notice things like that??

I notice golf carts that have names like "Me and Bubba".

You are too funny, me & Bubba....lol

I don't recall seeing loofahs on cars either. When I can't find my car I hit the alarm button. Works everytime.
