What to say
My wife has a 2011 Bimmer X3. Looks and drives great. She comes out the other day, while I’m doing final wipe down and inspection on the Vette, and says, “Honey, you know you can take that car to the carwash like you do with the Bimmer all the time."
I barely thought before I blurted out, “The Vette is such an old car – I think we should continue to save the money by me just doing a bit of cleaning on it, myself. Your Bimmer deserves the more professional attention.”
This just flowed out of my mouth as easy as pie.
