Got a BMW? A little short in the nookie dept? Longing back to the olden days when a car would get you the girl? Come to China!
China’s Global Times, the English writing sister publication of the rather staid party organ People’s Daily, reports that a 24-year-old lady from Shanghai is offering herself to any man for a month in exchange for the loan of a BMW for one week.
The lady works as a clerk at a foreign company in Shanghai. Her handle is “Xiaoxia”, not to be mistaken with the similar sounding “xiao jie” which can mean “Miss” or “prostitute”, depending on who says it and who it is said to.
Xiaoxia wants to impress old classmates at an upcoming high school reunion as someone who is living the good life and is married to a wealthy man. According to Global Times, “that’s hard to do, though, as she is single and makes only 1,500 yuan ($223) a month.”
But she’s got a body, and she’s got taste. Discriminating as Chinese are, it can’t be just any bimmer. Don’t even think of showing up in a lowly 3-series, or any Made in China BMW. Bring a Z8 or an M5, and Xiaoxia is most likely yours for a month. But don’t forget the old Chinese proverb: “It’s not how much it costs for her to go with you. It’s what it costs for her to go back home.” Maybe a Roller.
I’ll start caring about GM when some of those retired union sleazeballs who are consuing my tax dollars get to the local junkyard and recover and build correctly the car-t*rds that I was stupid enough to purchase from GM during my life before the Japanese showed how a car should be built.
UAW, eat s….er eat Obama and die!
Huh?
Shenme?
I demand a pic.

Good Lord, the Chinese are making trouble in every part of the global economy!
This girl has inverted the going rate of exchange for body:BMW!
Please somebody tell her to correct this before we suffer another distortion in the global economy!
“But don’t forget the old Chinese proverb: It’s not how much it costs for her to go with you. It’s what it costs for her to go back home.”
And all this time, I thought that was an old Charlie Sheen proverb.
Yeah, I want pictures!
As for Da Coyote and others who want Obama to fail no matter what, there are plenty of Tea Party and paranoia sites where your views might be more relevant.
Obama IS failing on every front
How exactly is he “failing” on every front?
Nevermind that……let’s get back to the cars.
Do not want. What happens if something (car, girl) breaks?
Lowly 3-series, wtf?
OK, a 3-series is no good. How about an X9*?
*Between you and me, it’s a 1999 Caravan with a Roundel pasted on the grill. Think she’ll notice?
Maybe someone should forward her photos of old Civics and the like wearing BMW M badges. Driving something like that can’t be less dignified than prostituting yourself to borrow a car for a week, can it?
OK, so maybe I don’t want that answered.
I was told the following BMW acronyms in China after a few rounds of bai-jiu.
1. Business, Money, Women.
2. Be my wife.
3. Be my mistress.
I may get in trouble, I always use Xiao-jie to call a waitress.
A month?
Ack, A decent combo-plate of personality+power+toys will bag most any female on the planet.
One pays a hooker to leave, not to stay…
The most important key to this story is that the girl is from Shanghai.
Shanghai girls have the biggest responsibility for all Chinese girls to be tagged as gold-diggers.
Well the BMW 120 has an MSRP of about 280k RMB. So that’s not a particularly expensive car and still meets both of the criteria (not made in China and not a 3 series).
But anyone who has a beemer in China doesn’t need to let some crazy girl borrow the car in order to get some. So really, it’s just another loser who’s not going to get what she wants.
