Isn't the penalty for that is being confined to driving an old Toyota Tercel for 12 months...or am I confusing that with a Pacer?

Its my daily driver.... I usually gets washed once a week (but not if there is any rain in the forecast)... I vacuum the interior maybe once of twice a month.... Life is too short man, drive it, and wash it when you can....

His reply was that he took the car to the track and drove it like it was intended to be driven. Ever since that day, I stopped obsessing over a big piece of metal and plastic with an engine and I enjoy the hell out of my car. I just got back from the track with a few new pits in the front and some tire marks that wouldn't quite clay bar out all the way and you know what..?

Good.
:iagree: I may keep the car super clean and obsess about certain things, but when I'm in the mood to drive it I don't care how dirty it gets.

Microfiber always in the glove compartment, take bugs sap off daily, wash at least once a week. Responsible, but don't carry around quick detailer. Oh, and I clean under the hatch and engine bay, but slack on the wheel wells.

I had a can of compressed air in my Jeep. Found it in the back one day with the bottom missing. Turned out OK but I've seen pictures of them after they shot through one of the windows - scary!

I find the dust stick stronger than the compressed air will blow so you need a rag to get it all off.

It's like nails on a chalk board. I feel like asking them, "Do you know you can open the door a little more to make sure your fat *** can sit down without dragging a footprint across my door panel, right?"















But hey, it's my Mom. I can't be mean!

i would say that i'm not too bad when it comes to the z, i do wash it every sunday when i have the chance and keep my slobbering asss bloodhounds far away from the car as possible. i only drive the thing once or twice aweek so it stays pretty clean. i do use all Mcguires products and they seem to to a fine job:tup:

The newness has wore off - now I really enjoy it!

PapoZalsa 11-27-2009 08:07 PM
I enjoy my 350 but I bought used and it was my DD until a few days ago when I bought a truck for DD anticipating the purchase of a 370. I don't know how I'm going to act especially if I get a Nismo, in my area there is NO base model with sport package 6MT left. I'm not paying for a Touring! My only choice is a Nismo sitting on the show room of my local dealer.

My last brand new car I babied from day one, it wasn't my DD and knew every inch of that car and kept it for 7 yrs. So I know is coming if I get the 370 brand spanking new.

This is one of my biggest pet peeves too. The worst is when a girl is wearing heels and tries to get in your car. It's almost inevitable that they are going to scratch something getting in.

I've had my car for 10 months and it drives in all weather, I do try to avoid the icy days when there is pea gravel on the road. That said I try and wash it at least once a month and wax it quarterly. It is just a car after all and I bought it to enjoy it, not to stare at it in the garage.
