Are you too obsessive compulsive about the condition of your Z?

So from that day forward I ask all of my passegers to empty their pockets before they get in my Z. even my own dad and girls that I dated. And if they wear jeans with metal buttons, they cannot ride in my car. They look at me like I am crazy or something...

Im **** about the cleanliness of my Z. I hit with the detailer every morning. Clean the inside every other day. Wheels everyday. lol... 
Ive always been this way about my cars. They cost too damn much not to take care of them dont you think? Ive seen people with 100k cars driving around with dirt and &hit all over them. Stupid. I dont understand the logic of spending that much money on a car and letting it go to crap. Just my .02 cents on the topic.

i just dont have the motivation to keep it as clean now if its just going to get hit
i still wash it and keep it looking decent

Suddenly she says in a pissy tone, something like "why can't you go a little faster?" I never spoke with her again or gave her another ride in the car, even though we have mutual friends and live near each other.

Except that the kunt said something like "Why are you going so slow?"
Ever since that day I cut off my friendship with her, and honestly it was an unconscious thing. I totally forgot about the existence of that woman until I read your post.
