I'm a student, and a car enthusiast but honestly I treat my car like crap. It's always dirty, there's about an inch of brake dust on the wheels, there's dried dog slober on the back windows, I drive it like I stole it 95% of the time, school books and empty monster cans everywhere.
...On the other hand I love it to death, when I do wash it it's always a hand wash, it always brings a smile to my face, I secretly talk to it when no one is around, I always make sure maintenance is up to date, and when my dog rides in it I make sure every inch of the back seat is covered.
