Stopped at a car wash during lunch for the Cars and Coffee in Dayton tomorrow morning, and I picked the right stall. Found about $3 in quarters left by the previous user. 
I have to say I've done that myself, stack a bunch up for when time runs short, then forget when I'm done. I think I'll leave $1.50 the next time to pay it forward.
You can wash a car for $3?
It's a Fiat. I imagine you can usually just put it on the top rack.

That's what I want to know. It's $5 and up around here
I just spent $6 washing the Miata...it's still muddy.
I can usually get mine "clean enough" for a buck

Manual wash.......I can normally soap and rinse a car up here for $2.00 in the 1.5 minutes it gives me.
I'd do this to clean off the salt in the winter, Bring a bucket of warm water and a sponge/rag with ya,
Pay your $1 and use the the soap spray to cover everything with a nice layer of soapy water.
Time runs out, go over it quick w/ sponge/rag whatever you got with the bucket.
Pay your $1 and rinse it all and spray off your undercarage

I spent $15 or $20 last time... it still dumps clods everywhere. When I redid the wheelwell last week it was raining clods with every use of the air hammer. It was awesome yet sucked because it was raining on me.
The coin-op I go to has a @2.50 minimum but that only buys 4 minutes.
Yes I can hustle a manual wash for $2-3 on the Abarth. $1.50 minimum around these here parts. The Subarust and MR2? Yeah depending on the mud I'll spend a few bucks just to hose out the stall, because I'm not "that guy".
If C&C wasn't so early I'd wash it at home & take plenty of time to do it right.

The one I go to is the only one in the area without huge NO MUD signs. So I also clean up after myself because I want to keep it that way.
The nice thing is, the owner/proprietor lives next door. Nice older guy. Sometimes the machine "magically" sticks on after the time runs out and I keep cleaning the stall for a couple more minutes
