Yeah but you drive a lot of miles.

I could probably get 6 months between washes if your washes last two weeks. Haha 😂

Another black car may be in my future.

The problem is the carwash swirls the hell out of the paint. That’s why I drive light colored cars. If that doesn’t bother you then that’s fine.

i look at a lot of things in terms of an epitaph on a tombstone and which ones i don't want.

"at least i didn't have paint swirls on my car" would be one of those i don't want.

another example might be "at least my lawn was immaculate". um, no.

SW17LS

My lawn is immaculate lol

Everybody cares about different things. Clearly I don’t worry about it THAT much because I run both cars through car washes every week but I choose lighter colors because the swirls don’t stand out and bug me.

If I get one of these darker colored cars I am considering I will have to go back to hand washing or having someone hand wash them. $7,500 for a full clear bra is not worth it.

Nothing wrong with caring about the appearance of your property.

haha, and agreed! if it makes you happy, (or would make you unhappy if not done), go for it!

and minions do a nice enough job on my acreage.

SW17LS

Oh I have minions too! I don’t do it myself lol

I did it for one summer and that was enough.

understood! i did it a few years, then got help then eventually sold my huge zero turn mower i never used.

I actually like doing it, I just really don't have the time. The guy who does my weeding and mulching and all of that (THAT I will never do, but mowing and general upkeep I don't dislike) needs the money, and I'm happy to pay him $30 to mow it.

I know how much @Hameed likes when we hijack his threads, so now my turn 🤣 My gardner (who's actually a landscaper) mows my lawn twice a month for $80. It takes him about 15 or 20 minutes as we only have lawn in the backyard, the front is mulch. He also blows the leaves in both front and back. He more does it as a favor because he planted our lawn in the backyard two years ago, which was a lot of work, he had to remove all the mulch, dig the soil out, add a sprinkler system and put in new dirt, as the old dirt was garbage....and literally full of discarded construction materials when the previous owners remodeled. He reluctantly agreed and took the job because our gardner at the time would go into drinking binges and not show up for months at a time, and when you have a lawn you have to keep it mowed, so we fired him. I would do it myself, but I'm just too lazy

To bring it back lol, here is the silver wrapped Plaid I mentioned, makes me think of Hameed's car! They should have kept offering them in silver.

Margate330

Looks good.

Duh, I just noticed that Teslas have no grill. Lol

Wow. That looks amazing. I wonder how much something like that would cost. I might want to do something like that if it gets too tedious maintaining the black on my Plaid.

AMIRZA786

You have a Plaid? Is congrats in order?

SW17LS

$5,000. I called the company and asked! That’s Inozetek super gloss metallic silver.

You got a Plaid?

Bob04

Yes. 2022 Black with white interior. 19" wheels.
