Same as most of you guys, I look back even after 2.5 years like 4 or 5 times when I am walking off, I park in two parks sometimes to avoid doors and idiots going near it, I wash it every week, I cringe when someone is near it, I stare at it nearly everyday and all I do on the internet is look for ways to improve it and take care of it.
Get's a good service regularly and everything is fixed pronto.

I wash it at least once a week.
I regularly hug my steering wheel after I pull it into the garage.
I had separation anxiety when I brought it into the shop to my exhaust installed.
I've spent entire days detailing it.
If anything happens to it, I will most likely cry. Literally.
I cringe when I see someone touching it.
Even after 1.5 years, I STILL look back at it 2 or 3 times as I'm walking into work or into a store.
Christ.. I sound like a fairy. Time to go slam a couple Natty's Ice to get my man card back.

That basically describes me with my car. It drives me crazy when my friends leave finger prints on the car or have dirty shoes. To be honest, I don't even like people in my car since everybody starts pressing buttons on the dash.

I cant really say I baby my cars. Im a college student, so I always have books and a back pack hanging around somewhere. I drive the hell out of my cars. Im not going to lie. HOWEVER, I check every possible fluid in that car at least 2 times a week. I work at a gas station with a lot of downtime so I get paid to inspect my car haha. I also wash my car a lot, and have done so in 20 degree weather, then had to pull it in the garage, let the ice melt and hand dry it lol. I keep my water hose and washing supplies in the garage so they dont freeze lol.
I do love my SC, and I really loved my 97. Not to say I dont love my other cars, but I loved that one a lot.
My next SC is going to be something....just wait.

i wash mine everytime after it rains...other than that once a week
use my sundays as maintenence days
ill get it on a lift and check everything maybe once a month
it literally hurts me when i rarely scrape the exhaust
i usually shift around 3k and WOT very rarely
i clean the dry wax out of my windshield nozzles with a q-tip
no drinks or food in the car ever
i get pissed when passengers let the seatback slam forward when trying to get into the back seat
i was in a state of depression for 4 months when my car was down
and i think thats it!

I always open the passenger door for people because I know they will do that!
