The last time you washed your car

Let's see Sevenstock was at the end of September, and I washed my car I think a week prior.

Haven't washed it since. =P

That makes it about......2 months and a couple days

Things I've done since Sevenstock

-canyon drive in October 200 mile total
-drive to buttonwillow and back 350 miles
-DYNO
-installing/uninstalling engine parts
-various Friday nights out
-dirty monkey sex on the hood. JK

But yea it's been a damn long time! Just thought I'd share

Dang Teddy,

For some reason I figured you for one of the guys who washes his car at least once a week!

Mine was last washed October 24th, just before track weekend. Since then, it's been driven once.

Shame on you for not washing ...not the monkey sex though but that seems kinda kinky for a 3some with a monkey "lol".

I still wash mine in the garage without an engine in the bay. Then I pretend i'm driving and honk the horn, sigh.

Shame on you!!!

not only does the car look dirty, but contaminets and dirt get on the paint and the longer they are on there, the harder they are to get off. It makes it more likely that when you wash it, you will rub the dirt into the paint and thereby scratch the paint because of your neglect. Sorry I'm obsessed, but seriously, wash your car!

Never EVER have sex on the hood. It dents easily.

I havne't washed my FD in a while either...it doesn't play much in the rain, but it did get wet recently. I guess since it's not driveable at the moment (fixing some stuffs...should be up and running tomorrow or next week hopefully). Then it'll get washed. Now, as for when my Suby gets washed/waxed, probably not soon enough

I have to wash & wax my car every week or so, otherwise it looks green.

It's supposed to be blue, damn it!

Unless it is so cold water freezes on the cars, I am washing them two to three times a week, and I waxing at least once a month.
Well, except for the Suburban...that big bitch gets washed about once every week and waxed once a YEAR!
Now, the poor little Mazda truck....it hasn't been washed properly in ages. It still looks damned good for 17 years old though!
