Default C4 Dd

Someone drives this C4 as a DD. That's the life isn't it.

It was parked next to work this morning. I felt since the owner went to all the trouble of keeping it so clean for the rest of us to see I needed to take pix.

I wonder if he actually drives it every day.

Most DD C4's I see are filthy and run down.

There is a forum member (username SQUARE ... i think, Real name Fred)
who has a DD C4. The plates read DAILY-C4.

I am sure he wouln't tell you it is very clean..... But he is a Zaino nut, and his idea of dirty is better that a lot of people's idea of show-room-ready.

I did it with my black vette for awhile. Washed it twice a week and kept it covered and garaged, drove it to work daily.

It wasn't that bad keeping it clean when I could just dust it off and polish out any spots that showed up.

All it takes is a wet dip or following some ahole that turns his wiper squirter on on the freeway and you have to start over though.


All that came to an end when i started working at a winery with dirt roads everywhere.

I drive my 1995 polo green everyday. Yes, it eventually gets dirty, but I try to wash it once every week/2 weeks. I drive to college and work. Its not too bad because my C4 never sees a dirt road.

My 93 is a daily driver, actually its a 100% driver, that is it's the only car I have. The only time its dirty is when we have rain and even then sometimes before I pull into the garage I rinse it off.

Having been driving her for almost 4 years now, I couldn't think of any other car I would want to drive on a daily basis. That's the whole idea of owning a vette, my lust to drive her.

I know a few who have C4's and they rarely drive them. But they also rarely wash or clean them and mine looks showroom compared to theirs.

Begging your pardon; but I happen to hold a special place in my ire for people who launch windshield wiper fluid at speed on a nice dry day. There is absolutely no reason for it. Clean the windshield before you get up to highway speeds f'Petesake!

Oh, and judging by the wheels, that's an 87.

And you have no idea if the car in front of them is blowing oil, a bird just crapped in their view or any number of other things.

No, I'm pretty sure they're just a ahole doing it to **** me off.
