Archived Message Posted by haighter on June 7, 2022, 10:10:59, in reply to "How much do you care about your car?" ...I perform all the regular maintenance that I can because I want to understand the car and how everything works on it. Previous Message For the purposes of this exercise, 1 being you just want something to get you from point A to point B reliably, safely and really nothing else matters. 10 being you obsess over it, want it fully tricked out and are giving it unnecessary waxes on a weekly basis. Have a guy down the street from me that does a full hand wash and wax of his Mazda Miata every week.
