I've had my car 10 mos, washed once and no oil change yet (3500mi). I keep the inside clean and I avoid potholes and big trucks that tend to kick up rocks. I imagine for some it's a matter of having over extended themselves to get the car and over caring is a coping/justification measure, for some it's the first car they got that they had a say in what it was or it was their own money this time and still others where cars in general (and all the babying) is just their thing, be it for escape or release. For me, this car is the car before THE CAR. I love it and appreciate it for what it is, but she's the girlfriend I had before my wife....know what I'm sayin?.
