Ok, I have had my vette for over a month now and am a clean freak with it. I have had a supra, 350z, audi s4, and I never really cared if they were "omg that needs to be really really clean"

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!

 

Do you have it in a garage??? if not why wash it in the rain dude???

 

thats partly the problem.. my garage door broke recently so I have been forced to leave it outside.. luckily i live in a very safe quiet town.. so the fear of something happening to it is LOW.. but yeah thats the problem.. im washing it in the rain and within hours apart!

 

Yea i know it hurts leaving it outside if your used to having it inside but...............Id wait till the rain stops,sometime tomorrow afternoon,then wash it.

 

Welcome to the club...

We have had ours for 3 weeks and have washed it about 6 times. It is natural, to have those kind of feelings for a car like the Corvette. It is a very emotional vehicle. I smile when I drive my Q45 in the driveway, and see the Vette waiting to be taken for a spin.

 

It sounds like you think something is wrong (other than the garage door being broken) - I don't get it???

 

Yeah is something really wrong.. cause im waashing the car in the rain, two times no less in the same day

 

It's after midnight - time to start counting all over....

 

I've always wanted to wash a car in a pouring rainstorm. Never have. I thought it would be great to let the rain water rinse off the suds.

There ya' go! I don't think you're crazy at all!

..rickko..

 

No there is nothing wrong Yes you do need help so ? as do most of us

 

Hell, I KNOW I need help...

Maybe you could use a water-proof car cover while you're keeping it outside?

I've been keeping mine under a cover even in the garage. Gets dusty otherwise (likely from my furnace).

 

You just described me. I vacuum the friggin' engine!! Couldn't care less what people think. When anyone looks at my vette, it's "WOW" & "Holy Cow" & "Is it new?", etc. How do they think it stays so clean all the time? When I'm cleaning it, I'm in another world.

 

You might be a tad over the edge... , but heck, aren't we all!

 

Errrr, I got an idea. Why not, I dunno, say, fix the garage door first?



Priorities, priorities, priorities...

I haven't washed mine in several years, but I doubt that there are too many people out there who are more **** about there Vette than me. Just ask some of my friends. When you only drive it about 1,500 miles a year, it doesn't get dirty.

 

Can't say I've washed the car in the rain, but I am a little obsessive when it comes to keeping it clean. Nothing wrong with that.

 

My long-lost twin brother! WHERE THA HELL HAVE YOU BEEN!!!!!!!!

 

I think you're sinking fast!

 

You've had a black vette for three weeks and just washed it six times???

That poor, neglected baby.
