Anti-OCD

Matt · 03-04-2010, 07:53 AM

I had a neighbor once that put 40 coats of wax a week on his Lexus. Filled up with gas every trip he made out to town. Washed it daily. That's OCD.

Keeping it clean, wiping it down after driving in the raid, and doing everything you can to make sure it looks good (inside and out) isn't OCD to me.

Nail on the head there, Pharmacist!

Irony in all this is that many of us take better care of our Z's than of ourselves. Just remember to get your PSA tests, colonoscopies, etc. so you have a lot of years to enjoy your beautiful cars.

I always take care and pride in ANYTHING that I've worked hard for. I'm not obsessive about keeping my car clean, but I do know that a car that has been taken care of and well maintained will be worth more when I trade/sell it for the next great car.

last time I washed my car was over a month ago, I have put close to 16k miles in one year, and they where decently hard placed miles.

I respect very much how some of you guys take care of your car, and some of the pics you post with it all shiny are incredible... but really does anyone else think that while its a great car its still just a car, not an investment?

For me it's just transportation - really fun and enjoyable transportation, but it's still just a car. It gets washed once a week (usually).

i believe you have OCD when you think too much about something. your neighbor clearly thought too much about his car.

So Tiger not only has a SEX addiction (cuz he likes to have sex with other women) but now since he obviously thinks about it alot is OCD about SEX too? Im addicted and OCD too then when it comes to sex. But Im happy.

haha. TW has ocd about sex in my book. but i really admire him. he managed to be the world's best athlete in his sport while having a wife and 14 plus girlfriends. obviously he is in incredible shape but his time management skill is simply incredible.

Just think how many girls pro basketball players get when they go out. Ibet some have screwed a thousands girls as the guys like to think of themselves as players anyway, plus the girls throw themselves at them. Tiger is really a pussy cat compared to some pro B-ball players.

I think thats where the phrase "oops I think I just fell into some Pu**y" came from was all the pro sports players, and now golf too. Is tennis next?

i don't think the very best tennis players like roger federer or rafael nadal can lead such a life. to be the very best tennis player you have to run very well and i don't think you could run very well after spending time with the ladies (you don't have to run in golf and basketball is a team sport)

And after the match they are too tired to screw.

didn't Wilt Chamberlain claim to have slept with like 200,000+ women.

That dude was the maestro of the maestro with a black belt.
