Are you guys all OCD about your cars too? It is getting to the point that I don’t even like to leave my car in a parking lot for more than like 5 minutes. I had to drop my car off at Rohrich today to have an oil change (the first oil change is free, otherwise I would not take it to the dealer). I actually took the car at 7 this morning and took time stamped digital pictures on my camera to show that there is no damage to the car so that I can prove it if the car is not in perfect condition when they are done. I also left them a note asking them not to detail it when they are done because I don’t let anyone else touch my car. Is this a little over the top? or are you guys the same way? ---

I’m not that bad, and I seem to worry less each year. However, I did tell the dealer not to detail the '05 GTP when we bought it. I’m sure the guys in Prep didn’t mind! ---

I’m very anal about keeping my car clean,free of dents etc. I guess thats y its best to stay away from dealers or u can learn to do stuff yourself. You can always find a mechanic or place u trust with a good rep and go from there. I’ve only had to take my stang to one place and the guy couldnt even shut the hood.:bash: ---

Maybe when we get a bigger house with a larger garage/driveway. Sounds like you got three spaces, therefore 3 vehicles can fit. If you are OCD, then it’s worth the effort to not have your car damaged. Beaters rule. As long as I had my truck (almost 17 yrs), I’ve always had a beater. ---

yeah i have OCD with my cars. I beat the living god out of the 240 and clean it at least once a month. The jetta gets cleaned 3 times a year, and i drive the shit out of it. I am obsessed at using my cars. They are a simple tool that can be rebuit or replaced at any time. I am cautious to try not to damage my stuff, but at the same time… shit happens! ---

I was all about washing and hand waxing my car until I wrecked it. Now it hasn’t been washed all summer and I don’t give a fuck. I wouldn’t say I had a medical disorder over it. ---

I used to wash my Thunderbird once a week, wax every two weeks religiously, even in winter time. I think that was just before I had real shit to do throughout the week. Now I just clean my car when it gets unbearable, which still works out to being once a week, but I wax it maybe every other month or something. ---

I am OCD about my cars but don’t give a shit about my company car. Audi thinks it’s some great thing, too, to clean your car for you any time you bring it in. They could never figure out why I told them not to do that. Now that my car wouldn’t be accepted for any warranty problems, due to all the mods on the car, I don’t even go to the dealer for anything anymore anyhow. I’m of the belief that every part of the car should be washed when I clean it. A clean car is a happy car, or some bullshit like that… ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607BBK1-med.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607BBK1-med.jpg) ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607Bay_006_600_x_447_.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607Bay_006_600_x_447_.jpg) ![http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607bay_001_905_x_458-med.jpg](http://www.audizine.com/gallery/data/500/10607bay_001_905_x_458-med.jpg) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/are-you-ocd-about-your-car/190949.md?page=2)
