Ocd
I'd forgotten what a nut job I am around my vehicles.
Until I got my Z three weeks ago I hadn't owned a car for 15 years. I had my last car 7 years and when I sold it you'd be hard pressed to believe it wasn't fresh off the lot. The guy who bought it had been looking 6 months for one until he saw mine. Sold.
In 3 weeks I've spent a pile of dough on cleaning products, (thanks Ryan) bought a set of WeatherTech mats, done an oil change (at 100 miles) and washed my car at least 4 times....once despite it being clean. Hey, there was dust on it from sitting all week.
It is not a daily driver and my mindset is still 'I don't own a car' so I spend far more time cleaning it than driving it. I was out at midnight last Saturday night polishing the windshield, hatch glass and inside glass for two hours.
I can take transit and be at work in 10 minutes. Why take a chance on something happening to my Z by taking it into work?
In a couple of months I'll put her away under not 1, but 2 covers for 6 months.
If I'm out and get caught in the rain, so be it, but if it's raining I'll never take her out in it. Good thing it'll be stored during our winters. All it does is rain.
One thing I can say about the OCD.....the Z is a damn sight easier and quicker to keep clean than Harleys. Glad those are all gone.
