Mike...Clean Vette aside, I've seen your GF...I'd be spending those
rainy days with her instead. But my priorities are different I guess.

That poor, neglected baby.
We're sending the Corvette Welfare and Protection Agency people right over there to take that Vette to a foster home.

However with the vette i am a fanatic!

Heres where i ask if i need help.. forecast calls for rain today and tomorrow, yet I washed my vette today.. in the rain!!!!!

Why i did it, I don't know.. it rained a little yesterday and so i felt washing it would be the right thing, even if it is raining now, since i drove it yesterday a cleaning would be needed, and its just going to sit now..

Ok so im sure someone is like hes crazy but here is where i really think i need help...

I washed the car around 5:00pm and I just got back inside from WASHING it again at like 11:15!!! My GF and family think I am nuts and that something is wrong with me.. but I dont know why either. I just keep cleaning it..

and to make matters worst - Im sitting here on autogeek buying and buying and buying.. stuff i think ill never use i am buying. Along with gears that I am getting soon .. I am goin to run out of money at this rate, but hey I guess Ill have a clean, fast car?


And i just love the people on this forum.. i sometimes sit here for hours and think its been 20 minutes!
Well i just put my Doctors coat on, and i diagnose your symptoms as 'the feva' corvette fever that is, and there is no permanet cure so get use to doing crazy and obsessive things

When I had my black (89) and my polo green (95) I used to wash them every day. I washed my white (94) in the rain just last week. No, I'm not sure it ever goes away, so, just live with the craziness - the interesting thing is I NEVER treated my three Porsches this nicely. Hmmmmmmm?

I like washing in the rain and in the mornings when there's dew on the car. It makes the dirt float right off.

Damn right! Charge him with Corvette Neglect! He needs to be sentenced to community service...something like waxing Hondas for a month.
