It was bound to happen eventually. Took a rather spirited drive on the back roads heading home from work. When I got home, I did my regular wipe-down to keep the car clean. Noticed my right front cap had fallen off.

So do I spend another $26 to get another set of wheel locks just so I can get some black caps, or can you buy those separately?

OMG!! You are manic. :lmao: :lmao:

You wipe your car down "every time" you get home. :dunno:

You need a new outlet or hobbie Al.

What he didn't tell you is that at stop lights he gets out and wipes it down, and if he sees a bird overhead he pulls off the road until it is gone.:yikes:

I use the Z6 detailing spray once when I get to work, and once when I get home.

I also watch the Weather Channel like a new cult religion so I can time my car washes too.

no no no, I don't have a problem at all. :eeps:

Nothing wrong with that

. Here's my situation :

1- Desktop ticker on my computer
2- Weather channel is on 24/7 at home, at office.
3- I'm receiving the latest weather report to my mobile phone every few hours

Vexed, I believe you.

Alee, you're just SICK!

First you pple compare "shiny" hoods, then compare the blue-ness between OB and TB and now this. You pple are all one kind of sick!

Btw could you wipe my 20-spoke wheels too while you're at it?

I had thought alee's OCD was a bit of a board persona and that there's no way anyone could be that obsessive. Well, this thread, if true, changes that.

My god, that's scary.

I guess I shouldn't mention that there is still mud ground into my carpet from the rainy day at the track. Or that I still have not waxed my car. Ever.

I seriously want to know how you guys have enough free time to be that anal.

Alee,

You should be able to get some extras from your dealer. I was able to and they just gave them to me at n/c.

Depends on what YOUR priorities are. I often sit and ponder how anyone finds the time to work and raise a family. It seems you make out quite well.

I'm not married. I have work hours that rivals most people's hours (except for Ripsnort). I have a job that ends the second I walk out the door.

Seems I have nothing but time. And I certainly don't see anything wrong with spending it on an activity I enjoy. To you it may be a waste of time. To me, it's a labor of love that I enjoy as much as I enjoy being behind the wheel. And I have the miles to back it up.

Auto detailing is a good hobby that can turn into a self-employed business.
With the quality work that Alee does he can charge $150 easy for each full detailing job.

Keep it up Al and enjoy:thumb:

Well put Al:thumb:

But can you figure out how I can have a family and been about 70% as compulsive as you about my car:dunno:

That's easy...

You work for the state of PA... that means you sit around reloading bimmerfest.com and get paid my hard earned tax dollars.
