It all started way back in April of 1998 when this site's creator saw "
www.washme.com" written in dirt on the back of a mini-van. Color him inspired. He started the site soon thereafter, and its URL became "an international phenomenon," popping up in obscure places such as Curaçao and on unusual modes of transport like tanks and police cars. The most popular canvas for the down-and-dirty URL is the minivan -- more than 100 folks have reported seeing it written on the modern-day family truckster.
