Default Please tell me im not the only one . . .

Yesterday i had someone point out that I wash my car more often than I shower. And dammit its almost true. Its not that I never shower, I just constantly wash my car, its therapy. Am I the only one?

I only wash mine once or twice a month. Ofcourse, I only drive it on sunny days. The upkeep on a silver car is very easy, I feel sorry for you owners with dark colored cars.

My car is white (duh look down) and every time I drive in the rain it gets mud colored water all down the side and back of it and dries. And it rains every damn day down here. It drives me nucking futs.

I wash mine twice a month, but in the summer when it doesn't rain much I do it every weekend. The pewter color is easy to keep clean, unlike the maroon Trans Am I used to have and the black Grand Am they were a bitch to keep looking clean.

I wash mine when it needs it. Michigan has been decently nice weather, although it's starting to get crappy now that it's getting into fall. Back when we had our nice dry spells, I could go a couple weeks without washing, just use the california duster to dust the car off, detail spray to get it smooth, and wax.

I wash/wax mine every week.. Unless I happen to get stuck in the rain then I wash it after the rain. I wax mine everytime I wash it. My best streak was evey other day for a week thanks to the weather guys. It rained and I looked at the weather sunny for the next few days so I washed it and bam it rained again the next day.

Keeping a black car clean is a PITA but the compliments you get make it worth it.

When I live at home in the summer whenever it gets dirty, so that might be every other day or once a week. When I am here at college It's ussually once every 1 or two weeks (ussually when I go home for a weekend). I wish my car could be in the garage during the summer like all my other cars ive owned, but dad has too many toys now and I got kicked out.
