I've washed my car inside my garage quite a few times as to not let the sun dry up the soap or water on it!

Driving in rainy conditions annoys me to no end, especially if I recently washed it. If I have to, I'll usually fill a bucket of water and rinse the sides down a bit when I get back...I've gotten some wierd looks while throwing water on my car in the rain....

I was looking through my subscribed threads and saw this one from when I first joined Acurazine. Thought it would be worth reviving for laughs.

Nice revival! I'll share.
I do not smoke nor allow anyone to smoke in my car. So I'm always doing the creepy guy smoking my cig and staring down my car before I leave work.

My building has windows galore and my co-workers make fun of me all the time.
"My car is sooooo coool" "Want to stand around and look at my car with me?"
There's other quotes but those two are most used.

sooo....... everyone at work thinks you're a tool. Awesome. My advice, kick the smoking and only stare at your car in the comfort of your garage.

I once drove home for the weekend to see the wifey and picked up some korean food. I took a turn a little to fast and a small amount of kimchi spilled on my floor mat. I took the food out, left it in the drive way and ran inside and started cleaning my floor mat with her Bath and body works apple hand soap (all I could find at the time). She pulls in the drive way 5 mins after, sees the food in the driveway and the door on my car opened; then walks in to see me on my hands and knees swearing up a storm cleaning my mat with my hands and her soap.

Made for an interesting dinner....lol.

LOL i basically do the same thing. Since i dont drive my car very much except on the weekends when i come back home from college, my car usually sits in the garage and i rarely wash the car anymore.

BUT WHEN IT RAINS, i usually put my car in neutral and slowly roll it out onto the driveway. Then get out with an umbrella, fill up a bucket with carwash, and wash my car in the rain. free water then when the rain gets light, drive it in and dry. definitely my favorite car wash. but of course the neighbors see me in the rain, with an umbrella in one hand, throwing soap and scrubbing with the other, in my boxers are like midnight.

What have you done for your TL that outsiders may consider a bit obsessive or weird?

Well there was this one time at band camp.... lubed up exhaust tip....

This thread is awesome...
Weirdest thing I've ever done is not so much weird as me being an asshole, I just cleaned and waxed my car and a bird shit on it while I was on the highway so I pulled over to clean it and didn't have a rag so I made my girlfriend take off her $300 shirt so I could clean with that...what can I say, her shirt was really soft...

I grabbed an old toothbrush i keep for my razor and went outside with it, my girlfriend said "What are you doing with that?"

"Don't worry about it..." as she soon comes outside to see me scubbing the carpet behind my gas pedal with it...
