Hello. I`m Eric, and a car enthusiast. Until now, my car detailing routines have been sub-par by the standards of this and other detailing forums. So here I am to correct the error of my ways.

For my daily driver, I have a 2005 VW Passat wagon with the 1.8T (turbo) engine and 5-speed manual. It has been modified with a sport suspension, wheels and summer tires, and added HP via chip-tuning. Plus some various cosmetic mods. Overall it is both economical and practical, and entirely fun to drive.

My "nice weather" car is a 2002 BMW M3 convertible with the SMG manumatic transmission. I got a good deal on it in the summer of 2008. However, it needs a bit of reconditioning, both on the exterior and interior. You wouldn`t know at a glance, but obsessive enthusiasts like myself would certainly pick it up.

That leads me to joining. My handle pretty much means "German brands" for my cars, and is a play on words for the old German money.
