welcome to the world of having a nice car. Where no matter how much you try to take care of it. Mother nature has a way to screw it up. And so do other people. I parked my car outside for the first time this year last night. Guess what we got at 5 am this morning in Ohio? Hail..

Pick up some of that quick detailer spray and a microfiber and you can fix that problem in the same about of time it took to notice it. It's pretty handy stuff for a quick touch here and there.

South East as well. You didn't hear that thunderstorm? I did wake up around 9:30 and it stopped. but if it's strong enough to wake me up at 6 AM i knew it was a big one. No damage. There's so much wax on my car it would take Hurricane Katrina to put a scratch on it.

That's when you say "I work really hard to keep my paint nice, could you please not touch or lean on it?" Or a simple: "Get the f**k off my car, k? Thanks"

I hate it so much. After washing/waxing, if anyone needs a ride or if my gf rides with me, I have to open the passenger door and close it for them. People don't know how to open doors, I can't stand when they open it and put their finger prints around the damn door handles to get in and when they put their hands on the window to close the door when they get out.

This happened to me a few years back in austins big storm. NEVER ONCE parked the car out of the garage, friend wanted to go to the book store so i figured, hey let the neighbors stare at it while im gone "i never leave it outside"

On our way back ******* SOFTBALL sized hail. it was big enough to bounce off the car and dent the garage door.

Shattered front windshield, busted both back quarterpanels and both headlight covers.

2600 in repairs, insurance said it was the most expensive 6 dents he'd ever seen.

I just hate the fact that on my dark colored car it seems to get a layer of dust like no other.

I simple give a "hey what the **** are you thinking" with a slight hand gesture to get off my car.
Anyone that has been around me even 1 time and my car though knows not to touch it, period. I don't even like people riding in it.

The birds have a GPS tracking for when you finish your car. They will find you the moment you take the last drop of water off the finish.

Google provides them with satellite information.

This is all I do. No real point to get up tight about it because if someone doesn't do it, then Mother Nature sure as hell will so I just buy the stuff to take care of it. Yes, it does get on my nerves but hey, what can you do really?

Always the way. You can tell when people have nice cars by the following:

If they see shiny paint and want to feel if its clay bar'd and waxed they gently rub the back of their hand across the paint. (doesnt leave any marks)

Wait till you have kids

No matter how hard I try to keep it spotless, I always manage to find small hand prints down the side of my car.
