So here it is, the question most women (or spouses) have on their minds, and the answer most spouses don’t like.  Is the car that important to you?

1. I spend at least 1.5 hours detailing the Z per week.  That is just regular, basic stuff like washing, drying, vacuuming, etc.  This does not include waxing or buffing or removing swirl marks, scratches, etc.

2. I always look back over my shoulder when I park the Z and walk away from it.  I take note of its beauty, color, location, and the cars parked next to it or near it.

3. I usually do a visual inspection when I return to the car (in public) to see if any type of damage is apparent (keying, door dings, bird poop).

4. I like to take scenic routes to give my car maximum exposure to onlookers.  I also cruise slowly by buildings with reflective glass to see how the Z looks from the outside driving by.

5. When driving, I amuse myself by trying to catch the eye of a curious onlooker.  If I do catch them, I will smile and wave or give a thumbs up to anyone in a nice, respectable car (i.e. another sportscar or muscle car).

6. I spend a lot of time online ‘window’ shopping for the car, and I consider people on forums as long, lost brothers who know how I feel and think about cars in general.

7. I need therapy. :goodtimes: 

Well lets start off by changing *women* to my husband.

1. I just spent 8 hours detailing my baby Z....

2 & 3 ALWAYS

4 nothing like a nice cruiZe, esp on local highways going 5 mph under the speed limit so people have to look at her...

5, 6, 7 AMEN!!!!

It's a disease. We are all very sick sick people, but I like it that way!

So Terri, how does your hubby feel about you spending a majority of the day with the Z?  I think my wife would flip!  Unless, of course, I was entering a serious car contest for prizes, then I think she might understand, as long as I interspersed some time with the family.

LOL Doug was supposed to be golfing this weekend, so I planned the weekend of detailing. When he change his trip to next, I told him to not even think of giving me heck for spending all day on my Z! And plus the fact I helped him detail his truck all day on saturday (and it is a filthy construction truck, so dirty that I forgot his seats have color in them, it appeared out of nowhere after steam cleaning the seats)...

I think he is coming round tho, he ordered an intake and ECU upgrade for his truck this weekend and went and had new speakers installed + amp yesterday so he has no room to bi**h for a few minutes! LOL

I agree, it's was funny to come out of the grocery store the other day where I was parked like way far away, and some dude in a beauty 80's something vette covertible had parked right next to me. Encountered him as I was walking back and he was walking to. Exchanged niceties, and he said well if someone else parks close, at least we know one side of our cars is safe! LOL That was really cool!
