My baby is FEELIN the love.

Oh man. She's so clean. She know's I love her.

I spent several hours showing my baby she's the onliest car I need.

First I gave her a physical... set tire pressures, tightened some not-tight enough suspension bolts to fix a clunk...

Then a thorough shower (including the engine bay), and scrubbing, and some spray on express wax. Hand dry the whole car, including door frames, hood, trunk, and ALL the wheel spokes... A little tire shine.

Then a crazy vacuuming.

Then I used BMW's branded leather conditioner and did all the seats, the leather portion of the doors, and the dash/center console...

She's soooooo clean, AND she smells/feels good.

:rocks:

Yeah I don't think I'm getting the 335, since no one will provide a good home for Scarlett.

Sounds like another car wash to me....... It is all about the feeling that you've described afterwards

NO THANKS! NO RAIN!!! I've been washing my car every 2-3 weeks since I got it and I hate having it rain. Do you park in a garage? If you do you're lucky :P Mine is parked outside in this lovely "Sunshine State" ... more like 50% Rain / 50% Sunshine State.

BTW Matt, when are you getting the new 335i? I didn't notice her blush, she's already red

TWO TO THREE WEEKS?!?!?!!

I can hardly go three DAYS w/out giving her a shower. =)

Also... I fairly recently got out of a 4 year relationship, and I couldn't be happier, now that I'm running stag.

Nope. I park outside on the driveway. This damn pollen is driving my crazy. My car is covered in a sheet of the stuff. I probably should go wash it today since it's so nice out.

Today is actually one of the nicest days weather-wise that its been in a while. Its 70 degrees out with full sun and bluer than blue skies. And it's the weekend. Fabulous day today!
