Any Anal Coupe Owners?

[Chops]

I think I qualify!

Won't fill tank past half way - weight is the enemy of performance.

Won't stop at a gas station unless it has a nozzel for each grade of gas. Don't want anybody's left over 87 octane. Amoco or Chevron only.

Won't go out in the rain. Over 1 year now almost rain free, got caught in a light mist coming back from my first oil change. Cancelled my first two appointments because of rain.

Won't eat or have open container in car.

Won't break wind in car. (NOW THAT'S A LIE)

Won't park within three miles of the nearest car if I go out.

I'm sure there are plenty more. How bout you!!!!

:help:

I also dont allow food or drink in my car although i am guilty of it sometimes, but today my dear sister decides she wants burger king on the way to school and of course she gets a nice egg and cheese biscuit instead of her regular chicken biscuit but thankfully she kept her hands off everything and I opened the door for her so she doesnt grease up the doorhandle but yea as for the nozzle thing my parents own a chevron so i just go in and grab something to eat and just see who fills up 93 and then fill up after them :)

I usually park far off too.

No smoking in my car or even AROUND my car if the windows are down.

[AznShodan]

haha... wow i thought i was the only one who won't drive in the rain! And I was my car inside and out every Saturday morning (we'll... 'till recently cuz its FREEZING... but i DID wash my car twice in below freezing weather...)

and yeah, no food in my car because I don't want my car smelling like food (and God forbid someone DROP something in my car).

Now thats its cold, though, do any of you know any really good hand-wash places in Atlanta??

[Chops]

All of this babying, but I have no problem lighting up the tires!

Go figure?

[Canton_G35]

no eating
no drinking
no smoking
I park as far away as possible, preferably next to a curb so at least one side is protected
wash it once a week, although I had to skip a week twice due to cold weather
give my wife funny looks when ever she touches the door or window to close it instead of the handle

and the list goes on.....

am I anal? My wife thinks I'm crazy.

[RX8ETR]

No eating (except RX-8's)
No smoking (except tires)
No driving under 80 mph (except school zones)

You know, the only real way to avoid rock chips is to not allow anybody in front of you.

i've had my g35 for almost 3 weeks now and i only have 700 miles on it.
i'm trying not to drive it so much that i haven't fully learned how to drive stick yet.

[RugRatCoupe]

I know it's selfess, but I don't let MARVIN Drive mine. Even when he promises to were a Helmet...

[AznShodan]

Hey... i remember seeing one person who waxes his brembo calipers... have any of you tried that? Or think its worth-while?

Sounds like a good idea to me, but what about the heat... i know brakes get reaaaally hot... especially when pushed to the limit... isn't it bad if the wax melts off?

[RX8ETR]

I'll bet the guy that put Armor All on the tread of his tires and then wrecked his G the next day when it was raining also waxes his rotors to try and get that mirror like shine!

He's anal all right...a different kind of anal!

I read this thread yesterday, and got on my flame-suit, but over the evening my anger has tempered a bit. My point being, anal? that would mean cleaning and caring for it constantly. But babying it? staying out of the rain and the occasional soda? sorry. next to my 6mt coupe sits a $19k Aprilia RSVR. Do I ride it in the rain? Do I take it to the track and dog the sh*t out of it? **** yeah! I can't ride right now, so the G35 is my only speed outlet, and daily rider. You can bet I get on it, get it dirty once in awhile(due for a wash, but supposed to rain all day tomorrow) I'll prolly wash it on Saturday, or maybe I'll just drive it, either way, the engine is clean, the fuel that comes out of the pump is just fine(I could blather on about RON and how quickly it degrades, and the other cruds that are in the cel the fuel comes from), and I usually go QT as they have the best prices.

Ride on!!

I wax my brembo calipers. They look real good, but it doesn't last long. I dont think it so much melts off as evaporates.
