Default Is this NUTS?

OK, so it rained last night and I was driving around in it, and the Steel Blue Stallion gets all dirty.
Well this afternoon I had to go somewhere after work and didn’t want the ole’ steed to be looking all dirty.
So I went home at lunchtime, washed my car, took a shower and went back to work. LOL
Is that nuts, or is that the norm around here?
I think I might be loosing it!! [8D]

I am going to sell my AK47 and all the accessories and ammo so I can buy mufflers and a chin. [>:]
Must have mods, ok I am better now.

So what is it, the norm or and I just plain crazy?

It is the norm, and you are just plain crazy like the rest of us. I detailed my car on Saturday - hand wash, hand wax and hand buffed. I treated all the trim with Back to Black, and dusted and vacuumed the interior. I had already checked the weather forecast before I did all that, so I knew it was supposed to rain last weekend and all this week. And it has.

Hey has anyone else noticed that if your car has a nice fresh wax job, the road grime doesn't seem to stick to it as badly?

If it's Romanian, Egyptian or Chinese, then I'd unload it with out a thought. Polish, Bulgarian, Yugoslavian or Russian, then hang on to it or sell it to me.

its just a car, it will be in a junkyard someday...we're not going to live forever, might as well enjoy it...100 years from now noone will know the difference. vanity of vanities, all is vanity...

yet I still wash this car more than any other Ive ever had, catch myself looking at it way too often, etc...Not totally obsessed, just a little in love

just dont worship it- enjoy it and what it adds to your life...I actually enjoy washing mine too, so I can see itshining in the sun
its not work, its a hobby, but just gotta remember it wont last forever, so dont be afraid to drive it too
Me- I'm hoping to wear this sucker out, and enjoy every minute of it- well unless its raining, or snowing, or chance of hail...well, not totally obsessed, but...
