Nissan 370Z Forum  

How OCD are you with your Z?

I keep my car clean, but what really gets my goat is when people shut my door using the window.

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?

If I get home after dark and the Z the dirty I will wash it a night.
My wife was looking for me at 8:30 one night and I was washing and drying
She just shook he head and went back inside

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....

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 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

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.

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.

well my 370z is rotting in my garage. collecting dust. if anyone wants to pick it up... lol.

definition of OCD YOU:

1. opening garage and or front door, just to see YOUR 370z is still physically present to calm your dreaded "oh noes my baby" syndrome...

2. having to set a set area radius such as 5 feet of clearance perimeter devoid of any potential yet damage causing objects such as BUT not limited to.....
-gut feeling in your stomach that maybe 'that' particular space doesnt seem right
-another car
-junk lying around your garage
-birds crapping on your window because you thought that tree was a shady alcove of hapiness...

3. washing your vehicle whenever you come home from work...

4. after leaving your driver seat, you double check, triple check, QUADdruple check, and so forth until i think the 7th time or so you realize the e-brake is up, and the dayam alarm is set.
4a. alarm has been de-activated and then re-activated and so forth just to make sure it IS locked and then you turn around to make sure no one was staring at you.. probably thinking how weird u are....

5. whenever you park, you do a 360 examination of the vehicle for any prints or scratches or dents or dirt or smudges or ANYTHING that pops out from YOUR eyes.

5a. when you come back to your vehicle, you do another 360... on your 370.... to make sure youre 100%.... A.... OK.

6. repeat steps 1 thru 5a about 3 or 4 times..

definition of OCD ME

1. repeat 6 about 3 or 4 times... and im seriously good to go. i promise.

now THAT... is pathetic ^_^ thank you.... and "excuse me while i kiss the sky!"

Now besides all those steps i have to check my entire garage for the camera you installed. I knew someone was watching me, i felt it. Now i'll never get out of the garage
