Re: Neighbors and Our Addiction

Oh boy. This and the other thread really hits home. Ha ha
I always imagine that the neighbors and everyone driving by must think I am nuts, because it does always seem like that if it's not raining I am detailing. It was worse when I was doing two cars, one of which I was selling. I am sure some of it is my head and some of it is real. I usually enjoy the unsolicited comments about my car's finish. At work everyone says I have the shiniest car in the lot.

The other night was not in my head though. I washed the car and did a QD and as I was walking back to the house I turned around and looked at the car and couldn't help but go grab the camera. The light was perfect that night and the car glowed. As I left the house the wife asked where I was going.

Me: The park to take pictures

Her: Of what ?

Me: um...(in a low voice) the car.

Her: mumble mumble .... need Dr. Phil ... mumble mumble

I walked away thinking I probably do have a problem. Whatever. It's better than sitting on my *** watching TV and it is good exercise.
However, I guess I won't be getting a Flex for Father's Day. Damn!
