I am OCD, but I dont wash or clean it… except like 3 times a year… Haven’t vaccumed it in over a year LOL. But why take your car to a dealer? I mean its a oil change a hour job if you dunno wtf your doing. But as far as parking goes I never go to anal I just park were I feel its a “bigger” space. ---

In my case, all oil changes are synthetic and free during warranty period. But even still, I’d rather do it myself now, just in case. Don’t want to risk burning something up because some dimwit didn’t tighten my oil plug enough. Not to mention, it only took one time of some moron spilling extra oil down the side of my block, or not wiping up what fell out when the filter was removed, and that was it… all on my own, now. ---

> [@where to go for dynotuning](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/where-to-go-for-dynotuning/31108/11): > > 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? Thats the main reason y i buy used cars.cause if it allready has a scratch or a dent its not as big of a deal if something else happens.but dont get me wrong i get pissed but i get over it cause my car isnt in perfect condition to begin with.plus i have a DD so the firebird doesnt go out much.i do keep both cars clean and usually wash and vacuum them both once a week and wax them once a month. ---

ocd here. i really don’t know why i am but i am. I have had my TA for 5 years now and only have 12,800 miles on it and most of the miles were put on going to the track and beatn’ the hell out of it so go figure. i never drive in the rain and always park it far away from everyone. i worry about rain and door dings but not breaking the motor,tranny,or rear end. i need to get my head examined i guess. ---

Absolutely. Yes, it’s a Jeep Grand Cherokee, but It’s still mine and worked my ass off for it, so I keep it in the best condition possible. Washed minimum once a week, interior every 2 weeks, waxed once a month, engine cleaned when necessary. I have the most insurance that I can afford to go with it… Because shit does happen, and I’m going to be ready for it. I also park as far away as possible in parking lots (because of a few chips and dings from parking up close.) ---

I wash my cars once a year after the winter to clean off the salt. I let the rain take care of the cleanings for the rest of the year. As long as the inside of the engine is clean, that’s all that I care about. The outside of the car I could care less about. ---

i observed some shithead in his new charger at my work the other day parking the shitbox 3 rows away from any other vehicle and then he took 4 parking places diagonally so it was more like 6 if nobody wanted to be a dick and park too close. that is the dickbag i don’t like to see. if i can park a little ways away or next to a nicer car i will. i used to be OCD but now that i’ve hit 3 deer and tons of door dings and a wall falling on the bastard-mobile… i’m over it. ---
