..........you tell your friend to buy a Black car just so you can help him detail it (I actually did this today)!

Your wife says to you, "You haven`t washed anything in 10 years and all of a sudden you are washing a bunch of blue and green rags!?! Are you sick?" Being a smart fellow, you keep your trap shut because you know she`d really nail you if she saw you carefully, one-by-one, hanging them to dry. (After all, being a REAL MAN, you like to keep your MF clean and dry.)

Or, the wife yells, "What are you doing down there (in the garage)?" And you reply, "Oh, nothing..." while spritzing Z6 on your perfectly clean paint. You, of course, realize that you`d lose MAJOR guilt points if she found you down there "...once again buffing the stupid paint!"

Your wife asks you, "What are you thinking about?" You don`t answer because you are lost in thought, busily working the logistics of getting the car washed, dried, and prep`d for TWO coats of Z5, AND mowing the lawn, taking out the garbage and the 46 other things you loving significant other has lined up for you this beautiful Sunday.

Ah, but we do suffer for our art!

Dan.

Every week after asking about your weekend, your boss asks if you did anything new to your car.

You use vacation days so you can detail your car.

Your winter depression is not caused by seasonal affective disorder, but rather the early sunset prevents you from detailing your car when you get home from work.

Cleaning the kids bycicles means Wash, clay bar, wash again, polish with PC and 4" pad, glaze, LSP x 3 and a carnauba topper.... :p

When you are going somewhere with your wife/girlfriend, you require her to remove her shoes and rest them upside down on the front mat.

Am I the only one??

Yes, but do you make her clap them together before she gets in?

You might be an Autopian if....

1. You schedule your vacations to be close to major detailing boutiques like CMA in Tampa or Autogeek in Stuart, Florida.

2. You think about buying a black car next time so you can try for an even more reflective shot of Souveran in action.

3. You look into buying a rotary since the PC is not doing it anymore for you.

**Bill D** · 10-25-2004, 01:04 PM

4. You have the "Trinity": : PC, Cyclo and rotary

**BoxsterCharlie** · 10-25-2004, 01:29 PM

You`ve mastered polishing but hardly ever do it anymore; you`re too worried about reducing your clear coat.

You might be an Autopian if.... your car is blinding people! or mybe you at least browsed the site!

. . . you detail your car knowing that rain is imminent.

. . . you use a leaf blower or Vac & Blow to dry your car.

. . . ask your significant other/spouse to feel how soft the paint is.

. . . you walk across any given parking lot with your head turned over your shoulder lusting over a set of glowing fenders only to trip over a curb or walk into another person or parked car.
