Hmmmm - so i guess putting a 4x4 x 8ft long wooden post (or snow skis & poles) in through the back would upset a few of you guys .........
I treat my car good in the sense that I maintain it well . But to me it is a machine that depreciates horribly weather I keep it pristine or not . I spend money on it to enhance my enjoyment of it but to be **** about preventing scratches etc would make it hard for me to get the most out of it in other ways . IE giving it ******** on the track .

I don't think your to annal at all. She' s a work of art and keeping it that way matters. Mine is garraged and covered whenever not in use. I'm carefull getting in and out of her so that I don't drag my feet on those easily markable plastic sills, they marr up easily.

Does anyone besides me wipe the little dark carbon stain off of the bottom of the chrome tailpipes after each drive? Gotta have a perfectly shiny, full 360-degree circumference or I get the shakes...

Every wash, sure, not every drive.

There is medication for that.
