I have a neighbor that washes his truck off every day!! Yes every day, even if it's raining. When he gets home from work the first thing he does is stretch out the hose and wash his truck off. When I had my white work van he would yell over to me "That tree sap is not good for the paint." or "Looks like it's time for a wash." and the best one was "Why do you treat your van like that".
I finally starting telling him "I keep it the way I like my women, Rode hard and filthy.
I worked with an older guy, back in 04. When the 05 Mustang came out, he ran down and bought a GT, paid a "Dealer Adjusted Markup" total was 38,000 out the door for a 28,000 car.
He stored it indoors, set it up on jack stands, took the tires off, buffed it, everytime he drove it. Until he finally burned through the paint after about 6 months, then bitched to the dealer about "thin paint".
I told him once, it was a nice car, i was a bit jealous, but I said, "Walt, they're gonna poop out millions of these thing's, wtf". I wonder what ole Walt and his Mustang are up to now.
