Exactly ... good luck getting another C5 when 99% of time is spent in a Jeep. It would be seen as a selfish act of defiance.
You're not new to this scenario I see...
My friend washes his GTI weekly, it looks great. It’s the cleanest sub $10,000 resale value MK7 GTI ever since his is a 2015 with over 100k miles.Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 12:29 pmI think it's easier to justify spending that much on a car if it's going to be a primary car.

It did just fine. Just was a bit weird seeing someone drive their brand new $90k sports car through active snowstorms and such.
What if I told you that washing a car does more harm than good?! Especially every weekrazr390 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 3:57 pmMy friend washes his GTI weekly, it looks great. It’s the cleanest sub $10,000 resale value MK7 GTI ever since his is a 2015 with over 100k miles.
He gets mad at me because I don’t. My GTI is dirty AF and I haven’t washed it in months. I told him that I don’t have the time or care for it since I don’t have a garage. What good is wasting 4-5 hours of a thorough wash weekly if the car is gonna get fucked by elements 24/7 after that? It’s dirty within days.
So I just
In general though, with more expensive cars, I am not a fan of people babying cars instead of enjoying them. That’s like having a girlfriend/wife and not doing anything crazy/sexual with her just because the guy that might come after cares about it.
Fuck that. If I had a money to blow on cars, I’d keep them moderately clean but I think patina and other things add to the character of the car.![]()

Just some people are entitled and that dude in particular seemed like he needed to prove something, like perfect, your 2005 rusty Elantra has good brakes and can accelerate fast 10-15-8-15 woooooo, not partaking on shenanigans to someone I don't even know. At the end, he got stuck being on the side of the road cause thats his choice, and I was close to giving up till he had to finally stop.![]()
He does a proper job (wax, seal, etc)His car looks amazing. It’s also garaged when not driven and whatnot.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:00 pmWhat if I told you that washing a car does more harm than good?! Especially every weekrazr390 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 3:57 pm

On average people do stupid shit ... there is no denying that
Ideally I would want to get something to dick with but I don’t have the space and one of the vehicles would have to be parked outside. Also once something gets little use the fucking petty ass comments start...Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 3:57 pmYou're not new to this scenario I see...
It got worse with COVID because working from home, I never go anywhere by myself because there's no reason to. I can't even justify a 3rd car when it comes down to it. I have a hard time justifying keeping the JL, but it's paid for and she "loves it forever" so it's cheaper to keep in the long run I think. It's unquestionably nicer than the cucktruck, I'm just noton it because it's one of the most generic JL specs ever.
Eh, I've had the Corvette for years, she doesn't really GAF.
There is no point in washing garaged cars weekly. They generally stay clean for about 2 months or so. Outside stuff
That’s when you pull the “wow my step mom was right about you” card, get in the TRD Pro and drive for the hills.max225 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:03 pmIdeally I would want to get something to dick with but I don’t have the space and one of the vehicles would have to be parked outside.

Oh that thing is ugly
Is that ever going to get fixed
How much did the parts cost
Why is it taking up so much space
Can’t we move that outside
Are you ever going to enjoy it
I don’t like old cars
And on and on and on

Max's point is the worst/most trueThings I want for myself (basically bikes/car shit) are "just for me" versus what she wants (

I had forever. The house shit is 100% her thing outside of necessities.
She has never really questioned any purchases/expenditures I make.

Yep. Sounds about right. On a more petty level, I got a Sonos sub for our bedroom movie setup... and guess whatDetroit wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:08 pmWhy do you have that stupid thingmax225 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:03 pm

Ugh, it's in the way of me getting out
I hate walking around this thing in the garage
Why don't you just get rid of this thing
etc, etc etc
Ultimately, that drove the end of some of my favorite cars. The 951, the C5, the e30 to an extent (though that one would have been tough because I had nowhere to put it at the time)

“It’s in the way while I walk”
“Can’t we put it somewhere else “
It’s under my side of the bed now
She might not care if she still has something she likes to ride in. Mine DGAF until it gets to be a burden and to her, that's a 3rd vehicle.razr390 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:15 pm I toldI might trade the GTI for a cheaper more NFG car and she said
“Why, you love that thing!”
I don’t think this will last... however, we still have separate expenses and accounts and I dofor her while keeping the car. She’s never complained about it except the bolstering on the seats because she’s gotten a little heavier post pregnancy and COVID. Also, “it’s too rough”. But oh whale
I'm considering an ARC for MX. How does it sound?Detroit wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 4:17 pmWoa!
Mine actually loves spending on audio equipment oddly. We always have music going in the house, so it's important to her. She actually asked me to buy an Arc and Sub for the living room to go with the 120" projector screen and 4k projector SHE wanted.
And when the sub came, she commented that it "looks really pretty" and suggested multiple places for it.
I can pretty much spend whatever I want on home entertainment stuff...she just wants it to not look offensive. I'm the cheapass, I struggled with the Arc and Sub purchase personally. Sounds excellent![]()
