CleanGSR Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I'm just wondering if anyone is as anal about their car as I am. I usually spend about 10 minutes to find a parking spot that I'm happy with. A lot of times I will pull into a spot and then don't like it so I will pull back out and look for a different spot. This used to make my wife mad, but now she understands. I just have a fear of getting a door ding, so I do what I can to prevent it. End spots are the best, cause you have half the chance of a door ding, and you can hug the curb so there's a lot of distance between you and the next spot. Anyone else this bad?

XScarAudio Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 do you guys name your cars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 I never have named my cars.....I'll have to think of a good name for my del sol. My celica would have to be a stripper name, cause it was kinda sexy (even though it was a ricer car). Speaking of which, we should start a topic for pictures of previous cars owned. Would be kinda funny to see some old ricer cars of people that have now grown out of it....like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 ah, You'll love the s2k....my dad's got one and it is truly an awesome car. Vtec is so loud when it kicks in, it's not even comparable to a B series....just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 yeah. i keep putting off buying a 2nd car. we're waiting on a house/driveway. the condo only has 2 spots. if i start working on my rebuild, i'll have my car in the warehouse, and buy the s2k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRG7 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 used to be that way with the crx, until it got keyed. but when i bring it back out again, it won't be a daily driver. my sol i could care less really, since it needs a new paint job anyway when i get around to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 I just think there is nothing worse than a nice car with a bunch of door dings, so I try my hardest not to get any. There are a couple small ones from previous owners, but nothing major, and I try to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR17 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i dont have trouble getting my spot at work,... the fact that theres a sign "manager" on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i get my dings when i really don't expect it...like in traffic down here....its aweful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 I always have a hard time finding a good spot at work.... I'm usually a couple minutes late getting to my office because I spend to much time finding a parking spot that I'm happy with. I usually get lucky and find an end spot about once or twice a week. I usaully eat lunch at my office or ride with a friend so I don't lose the good parking spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i sacrifice a good safe spot for a spot in the garage/shade at work....better a door ding than sitting in the south fl sun for 9 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yeah, I guess I never really thought of the sun being a danger, since it doesn't get that bad around here. I usually wax my car with a good Silicone based Turtle wax platinum every 2-3 months and I do a clay bar, polish and wax once a year....so the sun will never get to my paint.

XScarAudio Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 i go nuts w/ the meguires show car deep crystal 3 step process. paint cleaner, polish, wax etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 Yeah, that's the polish stuff that I use once a year after I clay bar the car. Then I do the first to steps of the meguires (paint cleaner, polish) and finish up with the Turtle Wax Platinum Silicone based wax.....best wax that I've ever tried, and I've practically tried them all. Most incredible shine, and lasts quite awhile. Silicone based rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 it's not even comparable to a B series....just awesome. would you like to put money on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
404 - User Not Found Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 My car's name, obviously by now it should be known, is Tara. Spots that others wouldn't even notice on it I can readily point out, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted June 18, 2005 Author Share Posted June 18, 2005 would you like to put money on that? Yes.....I'd put money that a stock B series doesn't compare to a stock F20C or F22C. Gotta compare apples to apples....obviously your CR-Vtec isn't really a b-series and a modified B series can't be compared to a stock F20C or F22C. All I'm saying is stock vs stock the F20C screams compared to the B series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBirdSucks Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 how is a CR-VTEC not a B series motor? you didn't specify what B series. S2000s do sound quite rowdy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XScarAudio Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 he said it isn't a 'stock' b-series motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
