Default How obsessive am I?

My vette is a daily driver and I find myself washing it three times a week or more. Is this normal, or should I seek help?

It will slow down after a while and you will only have to wash it twice a week

Mine rarely gets driven, washed 3 times a year, and sits in the garage covered.

I'm not obsessive. (Right?)

My car hasn't gotten wet since I've owned it. 3 Months now. But I do wipe it down with a t-shirt every time I go into the garage and I waxed it twice already.

LOL! That's awesome CSS. I thought the second picture was real, I was thinking, wow that must be Italy or something, taking pictures in far away places with your car, THAT is obsessed! Really cool though.

It's important to make sure your gold chain doesn't hit the car and damage it while applying that 3rd coat of Zaino....

well, think of it this way.....

you met a new girl you're enamored with. you shower her with gifts, and fluids.

after a year, you're a bit tired of her. something here and there along the way unexpectedly pizzed you off.

women will do that. cars will usually do that. see the parallel?

in other words its normal, no need for help. it's still all new to you.
