Anyone have this problem?
Since I bought my Vette, I don't feel like working on my other cars at all. I was pissed the other day, because I had to replace the battery on my 3000GT. If it had been my Vette, I would have been happy to do it, (which I was when I did it recently). Today, I washed the Mitsu and started polishing/waxing. Got bored and quit. I just don't feel like doing anything with the other cars anymore.

And I have a lift so it's easy.
Vette rules!

Yes, since I have had a vette my other cars do get neglected. They are just transportation. The vette is, well, a Vette. Need I say more... Guy

I suffer from the same problem. I will not wash my daily driver anymore. As for our SUV that my wife drivers, It's too big to wax !!!! :lol: She can wax it if she wants :D

Re: Anyone have this problem? (dbwade36)
Well I sold my Blazer and Elco a while back so my only other car is a company car. Work pays for everything on it so I just have to take it somewhere to get stuff done....but I have a hard time getting motivated to do even that now....Id rather be working on or driving the vette :lol:

Me too, the Vette gets all my love.
My poor Sebring conv looks like a pig pen, and this used to be my baby until the Vette came along. I would wash it every other day.
My Accord is just a rusting tin box. It's a winter beater anyway, so who cares. YES, I have a Honduh. :crazy:

Re: Anyone have this problem? (GDP)
Interesting question. Yes, I've got a '65 mustang convertable in the garage that hasn't been driven in two years. It used to be the fun car but no real interest in slow cars these days...my wife is the driving force in keeping it these days.

Re: Anyone have this problem? (1bad85)
Have to agree with most here. Vette gets all the love. Family car has been left to the wife and the automatic car wash. Even the other love, the boat, has had less than desired attention! Too many toys, not enough time.
