I don't unless it is really dirty -- back east a little more often in winter -DH like a clean car, I don't care

People who have cars, how often do you get your car washed?

Uh. Never. I don't really have to deal with salt issues living here. My car is seven years old (happy birthday, Darla!) and she's been washed about three times at the dealer, a freebie with service.

Dude, that's the one place I feel comfortable melting down and freaking out.

That will probably come later. But the idea behind EMDR therapy? Fascinating. And seemed to work pretty well on this first session.

In the winter, I like to wash them the first decent weekend after the salt trucks have been out. Otherwise, when they look pretty dirty and I have a bit of spare time.

I wash my car when she looks dirty.

My mother says that most people get their cars washed once a week.

Ahahahah! I wash mine in the winter once we have a long enough spell post-salt to at least survive until the next storm or it gets too gross and starts forming crystals. I actually haven't washed it this winter, we've had enough intervening rain to take care of the salt. Warmer season now gets more washes because of my leaky trees, which leave a sticky mist on it. But I'm super lazy and have a '97 whose gas door doesn't close anymore and all kinds of break dust on my hubcaps. So I'm kinda trashy. I'm the car the fancy cars leave a parking space between us.

I wash it in the winter time when above freezing temps and money in my account coincide.

Me too! I don't even have hubcaps!

That is hilarious to me! Lately my car is washed once a year when Bob does it for my birthday!

I might be tempted to wash more often if I had a new car though. Not that I don't love my car and hope that it lives for a very long, long time, UNIVERSE!

What lisah said. I drive my poor cars into the ground. 14 years old is young for a sentra, you HEAR THAT SENTRA? eta: I only have 104K, I think, on the car. Blew up my 88 (?89 I forget) at 213K or so, and that was JiffyLube's fault, they left the oilcap off and then I drove to DC in stop and go and fried the engine. Didn't die for another couple weeks, but when it did, it cracked the block.

I will say that no one should deprive themselves of the good time that is going through the car wash! So fun!!
