You know you love your car when you:
1. Go to work early just so you can park your car at the better sheltered lots of your office.
2. Check on your car 3-4 times a day to ensure that no van or lorry has parked beside it.
3. Rather take the bus to town because the parking lots there are small.
4. Don't go out when it is raining because the car "has just been waxed".
5. Wash your hands/arm BEFORE driving because the steering wheel and arm rest will get dirty.
6. Always shower before using your car.
7. Ask your girlfriend to put her bag on the rear floor area because you are afraid her bag will dirty your seats.
8. Always have T-shirt, towels and newspaper standby in the car, just in case you, your cloth or shoes get dirty.
9. Can't concentrate in a meeting without worrying about your car because there is a thunder storm right now. That is despite the fact that your car is parked in a cozy sheltered car park.
Most importantly...
You know someone loves his car if you see him parked at the same "good" parking lot of the office, day after day, years after years...and you always attempt to park beside them because you know the chance of getting a dent on your car door is lower.
Valid !!! From various forumers since 2004, I observed the following from the extreme car lovers:
1. Rather wait for "safe" lots than to park anyhow. Will wait even if there are lots available. Safe lots are lots which you will be least likely to kenna dents - example corner lots, isolated lots, no trucks/lorries besides, no couples, no MPVs, no SUVs.......
2. Rather take taxi home and leave the car in Takashimaya because it is raining. Come back tomorrow to pick up. At most pay hefty parking charges but car KIM KIM GOOT GOOT.
3. "Don't go out when it is raining because the car "has just been waxed"." Tua every meetings and gatherings during raining days.
4. "Wash your hands/arm BEFORE driving because the steering wheel and arm rest will get dirty." One of them is worse - "Please remove your shoes and slippers and slap them clean before coming into the car."
5. "Ask your girlfriend to put her bag on the rear floor area because you are afraid her bag will dirty your seats." How about the one who repeatedly ask the GF whether her mensus are leaking......
6. "Always have T-shirt, towels and newspaper standby in the car, just in case you, your cloth or shoes get dirty." After soccer, the entire driver seat is covered with workshop plastics.
7. "Can't concentrate in a meeting without worrying about your car because there is a thunder storm right now. That is despite the fact that your car is parked in a cozy sheltered car park." He is more concerned about the wet roads just after the rain. He will spend another 5 hours in town just to wait for the roads to dry. If still wet, revert to 2.
8. Kenna one bug stain or small bird poo on expressway, filter left on shoulder and clean. Try beating that !!!
Real people, real stories.
