Well, this could be in an off-topic forum, but I think it goes best right here.

I've been addicted to cars ever since I got my license at the age of 16. A solid 8 years of modifying, restoring, upgrading, fixing, etc.

I've worked in shops doing professional detailing. Since then, I've done it on my own, generally for free, for friends and family.

Why free? It's my drug of choice.

When I'm detailing, and polishing, and restoring, whether its a Chevy Prizm, a BMW 540i, my own VW 1.8T, you name it - I just love doing it. I have no other cares in the world. I for once can fully concentrate on the task at hand. Making this vehicle look showroom again. I just can zone out for hours. I love it. It's an art, and its my drug.

I just had to share my thoughts with everyone. It's been one of those long days, stress at work, stress in my relationship, stress in school. It's everywhere. But tomorrow, I'll be detailing an untouched 1996 black on black Volvo 850 turbo. It is in need of some serious work, and I can't wait to get to business on it.
