Sometimes you just have to ask...WHY?

There are some things that just don't make sense.



Why do people buy chrome wheels, and never wash them? Isn't that the point of chrome wheels - to have nice shiny wheels? :nixweiss



Why do people modify their car to make it uglier? Case-in-Point: a yellow/white Jetta with silver flames (extremely dull paint) that lives a few miles from me. Huge aluminum wing on the back, stock steel rims with wheel covers removed, fake dual exhaust, with two different sized mufflers on the back...

Sometimes I think there is a contest going on in this city to win the Ugliest Car Award. :nixweiss



Why do people pay to get their swirls removed, and then go back to the car wash a few days later? :nixweiss



Help me out here.



Feel free to post your own questions that you just can't seem to figure out.
 
Why do people spend big $$$ to buy a new car and not keep it halfway clean? Gross. May as well just have a nasty old beater.
 
Why do people buy leather seats and then let their dogs scratch them to shreds? I was recently asked to detail an 04' Accord EXL, the rear seat was completely trashed by her dog.



Beats me!

So they don't have to change the oil for another 20k miles!:D

We have a member at the LOC that has a 2003 GS430 with 80k miles (highway miles) he rattled off as long list of problems, dents, cracked headlights, cracked windshield, cracking leather, bent and scraped wheels, engine and tranny issues from lack of maintenance, never been waxed...then was complaining about the resale when he went to turn it in!



He though wax was "just a gimmick" He couldn't understand why people didn't want it and thought it was in fine condition for its age.

My brother is a mechanic at a Ford dealership, and he recently worked on a trade-in, which was an Escape with 32,000 miles on it. The owner said he didn't know that you were supposed to change the oil in it every 3000 miles. My brother changed the oil, and soon after, the engine threw a rod. He took the oil pan off and found a bunch of metal fragments in the oil pan.



So...why do people not know that you have to change the oil in automobiles??? I guess I had previously assumed that everyone knew that. :nixweiss
 
why is it that whenever i offer to detail my friends car or post a picture of my freshly cleaned car on my blog, they say i should detail their car but never call me to arrange something when i tell them to call me?!?!?!?!?



or better yet, why did my friend buy the klasse twins and yet hardly ever puts the SG on? :p
 
WHY did it have to snow tonight?!?! :mad:



Oh well, I did a whole lot of detailing on the Max tonight in the garage while it was snowing. :)
 
Any of you guys using those newe Mobile One 7500 extend oil? Some sh#$ like that. I saw that crap at Autozone.

I'm wondering not only that but why he hasn't been sterilized so as not to foul the gene pool and create offspring with the same ugly styling DNA. ;)



This stuff makes me wonder...

Here's my "why" thought for the day.



Why do people get huge chrome rims with huge holes in them and not clean up the the brake calipers/rotors/drums? It looks so nice to see all of that bling framing a greasy oily nasty mess!
 
Why do people try to drive Corvettes, Porsche Boxsters and 911's and Ferraris in the snow of a New England winter? :nixweiss

That's another "WHY?" I often wonder myself. Exactly why I will paint my brake calipers within a day or installing my new wheels. The calipers are a nice rust-brown now. :down

How about....



Why do people drive those cars slower than school buses?





You may say to keep it protected, but I know I would want to enjoy it and use it to somewhat of it's full potential.









Going back to the whole blingbling thing and attracting attention from everyone, I think it goes back to Freud. He believed that sex was the root of everything. For those people, taste isn't an issue...it's "how much shtuff can I put on my car that will attract the opposite sex and ultimately get my laid".
 
Scott, the Nemo Sushi was almost funny enough to make me spit coffee out of my nose!! I managed to hold it in though.



Paul, I don't just mean rusty I mean filthy dirty. I guess if it was "clean" and rusty it wouldnt make me think "what the heck"? It just doesn't make sense to me. It's just the opposite of when people put smaller tires and rims on their car and the wheel wells look like a gaping cave or something with all of the dirt and muck that accumulates there.
 
Sean some of the cars I see driving around here with slaped on $BLING$, some really inane mods, I just wonder "what were you thinking"? More is not always better. I see a Corrolla on the road near where I live. Its got reverse rims (I think thats what they are called, the tires and wheels stick WAY out of the WW's) Spinner hub caps, and the WW fenders have been extended straight out about two inches. Did I mentions it's also got a huge wing on the back? Just gross and gaudy. I'm not sure I want to see what that car is trying to attract:eek:
 
Heh heh [INSERT Accumulator's usual rant about whims masquerading as values and "selfish steam" masquerading as self-esteem HERE] :o
 
What about little old ladies who apparently think they will get an "exact change award" when paying for their groceries?
