Whats your relationship with your car?

k20z3 · 05-30-2009, 03:52 PM

Well, I figured I would see how other people react with their car.

I am the kind of person, that car comes first, really meticulous I even keep a vacuum in my car, and lint rollers.

After every couple washes I wax my car to make sure she's protected. I over see the whole car and inspect it haha! Have about 8 california dusters, and 2 of them in my car.

I keep my car clean...but not to the extent you do...i regularly wash and wax.
BUT..
I drive the crap outta my car...ever since i past 2000 miles, it was VDC off time! My VQ is no stranger to the redline. When i hit lonley twisties, i get after it, frankly i have gotten spoiled with the SRM. I do love heel toeing, but its not needed in with the SRM. Its perfect when your hammering through corners, and have no problems with it at all.

I definitely am not afraid to drive this car hard.

Mine too, I don't drive mine though! I have 6,600 miles on my 2006
bought it with 4k in NOV

I obviously had a horrible relationship with my Yellow 370Z but I've have several "conversations" with my Blue one. I was even outside today with a measuring cup of water trying to clean the gunk out between my back window and the molding. I got it clean!

I remember saying when I first purchased my Yellow Z, "I don't deserve this car." I really believe it heard me say it. I've never once uttered those words with the Blue one....and never will!

I wash my car once a week, coming up on my first wax time, I am still looking and picking up little things that I keep needing to keep her clean between washes & waxes. I usually do a full walk around of the car before I get at any public place I park at just to make sure everything looks good while I was away.

NotmyGTR · 05-30-2009, 05:19 PM

Seven days in a week......wash at least 3 times a week. Days I dont wash, I keep a bottle of distilled water in my garage that is used to take off bug spots, bird disrespect, and such. Only waxed her once so far, but Ive only had her for about 3 and a half weeks.

Every wash means, every door jam/rubber gasket gets wiped down. Rear hatch gets raised and wiped. Hood lifted, wiped completely along with any water or dust spots throughout the engine bay. Yes, the license plate is removed so no dirt is safe hiding behind the plate. Plates get waxed when the car does as well.

For the weekend washes, the rims are removed and complete rim is cleaned, inside and outside, along with cleaning of the calipers and tire wells. Just to make sure I dont aid in the accumulation of dirt on the underside...........she stays parked in the garage on rainy days and I drive my other ride instead.

On the weekend wash, once drying is complete, I will apply the tire shine, and the car wont be moved for about 3 hours. Just to ensure the Black Magic is completely absorbed by the rubber and there will be no messy black spots on the side of the car when I do drive it later on. I even go so far as to wax the glass and rims to ensure dirt, dust, and bugs slide right off.

Ya, when winter hit with my celica I washed my car EVERY day! then it just ended up getting dirty on way back home! haha, so I washed my cars 5-6 per week eeek!

As mentioned in another thread: "I'm going to mount a "fleshlight" in it and give her a go."

When my Z gets uppity I give her a good slap, that usually straightens her out

You car-wash fanatics would hate me if you could see how this car gets treated appearance-wise

semtex · 05-30-2009, 07:21 PM

I only washed my 350 three times a year.
