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: 

1. Me too

2. I deliberately park next to some substandard car just so they can envy mine when they return to theirs

3. That is a must

4. This is a must also

5. Depends on the car

6. I am a online junkie, need i say more?

7. Only therapy I need is more time to drive the Z
