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.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

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!

Punishingly Intricate

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

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not even my car fetish family in Michigan washed their cars once a week. That's crazy people talk.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Once a month at the touchless carwash at my gas station, taking advantage of the discount for filling the gas tank.

I used to wash it with the hand wand once every week or two weeks, but the price went up too much -- what I used to be able to do for $1.50 now costs $4.50 or more.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

That's crazy people talk.

But you make a compelling counter-argument.

People go through car washes in their cars? What's that all about?

How do they clean the insides, then?
