Can I Get a Witness?

Anyone else out there this anal? - My 2012 Vert has NEVER been driven in the rain*, NEVER been wiped dry with a towel - only been blow-dried with a leaf blower and NEVER been washed without being waxed. NEVER had the oil under 50% life and only driven to church on Sundays.

Ok, the last line is not true but all the rest is.

* Live in N. CA so it's pretty easy in the summer...

Southern Oregon checking in.......weather has been too dry, smoke from the wildfires keep my car inside the garage, don't wish to ruin new car smell with smoke.

Just think how anal you would be if you had a 2SS/RS Vert...and in Oregon, home of no sales tax, ha. Which is code for "welcome to Oregon, now go back home"...

Semi DD depending on the weather, it has been in the rain but I rather not drive her in the rain so I don't have to wash so often.

Too dry in OR? That'll change, trust me!

I was in Portland two weeks ago. Beautiful weather.

2SS/RS - Could I possibly be worse?

How do you even enjoy the damn car if you are so picky and anal? Sounds like you need to live and enjoy life just wee bit more.

Sort of sounds like my wife. Anytime the car goes out it gets cleaned when it comes back. Maybe not a full wash and detail but at least a good going over with a cloth & spray. Talking to her this morning (her evening) she'd just gotten home from a little cruise to town and she said she had to clean the car, there was a dead bug on the front bumper....... When she does wash the car under the hood gets detailed, door jams, of course wheels & she reaches inside the wheels too, mits the wheel wells and the tires (thread portion too) then dries everything. She uses the 2 bucket 2 mit method and when done gives the car a once over with Adams detail spray.
