On a blk car I hate the grease around the door handles.

I love Black vehicles. But you have to be a clean freak like me. If not, a dirty black car looks the worst.

Our '10 M6 is Carbon Black and our '11 Range Rover is Metallic Black. I honestly think the Alpine White X5 looks much worse when dirty. I mean, the white just looks dreadful during and after rain. It is so horrible!!

Try being like that, and having to deal with that at college, especially Cornell, it's like the arctic tundra here. I swear, it's impossible. Plus, my $700 parking pass gives me an outdoor spot. And I'm just as anal as you!

Yeah, the day after I took delivery of my '11 X5, it rained for almost 14 days straight. I was so pissed. I am off the charts OCD with the car. There are so many places I will not even take the car, because of "bad" park spots. Disneyland, Museums, ball parks, concerts, beach....are all BIG no's for my car. I drive my family and friends nuts. They are so used to it though, they just laugh and hand me the keys to their car, when we have to go somewhere I deem as "bad" for the car!!

I clean my wheels 2-3x a week, I clean the front glass 1-2x a day, I dust the car with a CA duster 1-3x a day and wash the car usually every week or so (or as needed). I will NOT drive a dirty car. I even pull over to clean the glass, if a bird nails me. I'm car nuts!!!

omg, you just explained me in a NUTSHELL!. i wont let people touch the wood trim in my car, i freak out when it starts raining, and after got "crap" spurted on my car from truck on the freeway, i had to pull over, pull out my meguiars spray wax, and clean it off. It DROVE ME NUTS!

my friends think i'm crazy, especially as a college student, i dont know anybody at my school who is like me..

my mom even ordered me those paper mats that dealers put in your car. I use them for hauling around messy kids at my school. it makes me crazy when i see their muddy and salty footprints on my clean all weather mats. Then they all complain that they hate stepping on the paper mats, well they can go F themselves!
