Oh NO I am one of THOSE guys now!

This is one of the things I dread about buying a new car. Used = no problem. But it won't really become "our" car until its first ding.

Or hit a deer.

OK, yesterday before I went to pick up horse stuff, I dusted off the car, then went over it with Turtle Wax black car detailer spray. Picked it up, came back and wiped the bugs off.

 

This morning we were going to the stores in Woodstock, and again, wiped down the car, and cleaned the windows.

 

We were on our way back, and needed gas, so as I am driving to our regular station, I saw bugs hitting the car and frowned and said damned bugs, and pulled into the station just as a storm hit. Oh no my baby is getting wet. As we were on our way home with the rain pouring down, and me grumbling, my wife pulled up the music screen and did a quick search and played Im in love with my car.

 

I laughed, she laughed, kids were puzzled.

 

We get home and after pulling into the garage and emptying the trunk, I grab my drying stuff and towel off the car. This time my wife just looks at me and says, Man you are getting ANAL about your car!

 

OK, I have to admit, I am obsessing over keeping it clean more than any other car I have ever owned, and I guess it is because it is the best looking car I have ever owned, and between this one and the Flex, I will be a busy guy on the weekends. :) I got a trunk organizer and everything is neat and in a place for the first time ever. Yeah I have gotten anal about this one.

 

Sad part though, there is a little ding on the drivers door just below the window, and I am pissed about it, going to see if the body shop and massage it out. I don't know how it got there or when, but it stands out!

 

 

Guilty also!!! Gone wash and wax Sylvia in a few hours... AGAIN!!!!

I gave mine an underbelly wash a few times this morning, lots of water and flooding. Going to rain some more here in the next 10 minutes or so. I work right by the Fox river, and the other side of the dam is overflowing the banks and flooding a good portion of that area now. Was fun driving in this morning, NOT!

I think you should be proud, not apologetic. Many people I know don't ever clean their own car, and the inside is not a pretty sight.

When I got my first car, after getting out of the Navy, I actually asked some people to take their shoes off before getting in! Now, that's anal!

LOL I did that with the kids the other day! :)

 

 

 

I snapped a very fitting photo, might use it for my avatar, but it is a bit blurry. Shows the year and month I got the car.
