I will admit ... I have to have my cars and truck clean.. Your ride is an expression of you...
Hate the fact that the inside is wet, dirt salt on my mats and the outside is covered with dirt and salt grime. As soon as a car wash is open and the temps permit my vehicle are getting wash, even if it going to snow the next day.

Do you wash your car or truck in the winter?

My car is a means to get from point A to point B. I am not gonna go buy a shit car where I have to constantly put money into it, but I will never own a car that is 30k+.

I used to get a car wash a few times a summer, for the RainX. Now I get it every weekend cause where I park for the airport offers it for free.

It's a reflection of me. I DGAF what people I don't know think of me or my car.

If it's a warm day for winter, and not crowded, I'll run it through the wash.

...to answer your question Belly, yes I wash my car in the winter. If it's not too cold, I wash it myself in my garage otherwise I run it through the car wash.

Yep. If someone actually tried to tell me that because my car wasn't pristine, that it was a reflection of me, it'd be interesting if my response would wind up being me laughing in that person's face or me simply telling them to fuck off. It'd probably come down to if I was in a laughing mood or a more hostile one.

I would judge a person more on the cleanliness of the inside vs the outside. You can control the inside moreso than the outside.
I wash my car myself and not pay to go through those places and pay 5-12 bucks, and if it is cold and shitty out I wont waste the time.

but the inside of the car.......you can daily keep that thing up to snuff.

Ill keep the inside of my car clean.

But, LOL if you think I am paying money to get some dirt off of it or something. It will rain eventually.

Yeah, inside is easy. Take shit out when you go home and throw it away. Amazingly, your car won't be a second trash can if you do this.

I'll spray my car off if needed. I won't drive through or use brushes at an automatic car wash though. Hand wash in the summer.

My truck is tan on purpose. I keep the inside clean and wash the outside a couple of times per year.
