How OCD are you with your Z?

No garage queen here. I ran into a guy at the gas station once filling up his Ferrari 360 Stradale. I noticed that the front of his car was all pitted to hell and I asked him what happened. His reply was that he took the car to the track and drove it like it was intended to be driven. Ever since that day, I stopped obsessing over a big piece of metal and plastic with an engine and I enjoy the hell out of my car. I just got back from the track with a few new pits in the front and some tire marks that wouldn't quite clay bar out all the way and you know what..?

Good.

That's the fun of being different!

I spend more time in this "big piece of metal" than I do anywhere else other than at my job and in my bed, so for me....I'm gonna take care of it like I do anything else. I don't let dirt stains get on my bed or office desk, and I won't let them stay on my Z!

Hell, I'm waxing mine for the 2nd time in 2 weeks because I don't think I did it well enough the first time.

One thing I can say, even if you got a Z covered in mud and chips....I bet it'll still be a pretty car!

I may keep the car super clean and obsess about certain things, but when I'm in the mood to drive it I don't care how dirty it gets.

i hate giving people rides...no matter what the weather, they somehow always manage to get dirt on my passenger floor mats.

It's like nails on a chalk board. I feel like asking them, "Do you know you can open the door a little more to make sure your fat *** can sit down without dragging a footprint across my door panel, right?"

But hey, it's my Mom. I can't be mean!

This is one of my biggest pet peeves too. The worst is when a girl is wearing heels and tries to get in your car. It's almost inevitable that they are going to scratch something getting in.
