I washed my car and put on a coat of ceramic boost this past weekend.I decided to drive it to work on Monday instead of the Camry... bad idea... it was tree trimming and lawn mowing day. Then the asshat gardeners leaf blew the dust all over my car (not on purpose, just the way they do it... every car in the lot gets layered in dust). I was so sad. It looks like I hadn't washed it since the day I got it.

ugh. It’s like when you park a car a mile away and when you walk outside someone is parked tight next to you 😡😡😡

LOL! Right!

With the parking situation, I think it’s an unconscious decision *most* of the time. Like a moth to a flame, people subconsciously think: “Surely he/she didn’t intend to park this car all the way over here to be by itself.”

Side note, the trees are AWESOME!! I love my concrete jungle and would never leave it. But on the weekends, I’d love to have that view with my coffee. Reminds me of weekends at Blue Ridge.

It is what happens, but I still get pissed if I’m caught. When we had a physical office, I’d be on the lookout for those dudes so I could move the car to the next parking lot. I’d put a customer on hold to do it in a heartbeat. 😜😈

My first reaction when I saw this picture was like - Holly crap man, you were way too excited to see you car (LMAO)

TipsyTony - That was actually at a local Honda dealer....I had just stopped to see the 2 cars they had left in their lot and thought I would take a new photo. I am still waiting for the LCA bushings to arrive, they should be here soon and once they do, I'll have them installed and report on it although having them installed on my 2021 IS, the change in the ride was almost not noticeable, it was mostly to help reduce the premature wear.

I feel you on this man. I'm about to fight the gardener for my job, sight unseen because the man is playing games with the sprinklers. In the last month I've had to bounce around 3-4 corner spots because this idiot has the sprinkler clock set incorrectly and they go off in the middle of the day. It's almost as if he sees that my car is clean and he's like "yeah, it's sprinkler time". So it's quite the debacle. Some spots are under trees and they are dropping tree sap. Others are under different types of trees that are dropping all their leaves for some reason. Others aren't as wide, and no matter how close I park to the curb, it's like an open invitation for the person next to me to park as close to me as they can. And then others give me a free car wash every day with the hardest water I've ever seen lol.

^^ I hate tree sap!! It seems that the biggest drawback of owning a nice car is you are always fighting the element and people - I am so obsessed with mine and that is why I never drive it as my daily because I would lose my mind. Driving an ugly Elantra solves that issue and then when I take my IS out, it is always within eye sight and never have to worry except for idiot drivers which I am always on the lookout! Luckily, the bug season hasn't started here yet so I can still drive without having my grill full of the pesky buggers (lol)

Exactly how it plays out in my head, with all the production value of a 70s porno

We love it. We have 20 acres so all we see is green. But I miss the Atlanta downtown eating and fun!

LOL! That dude is nasty, I’ve learned to hold on to my hat when I see his posts! I’m embarrassed that I *heartily* laughed at his ‘wiping’ comment! 🤣

I found this on the web. Not my car but a very cool pic from Lexus Corporate.

super cool. Side note - Just for the heck of it I searched all is500’s nationwide on car gurus. 12 available; Least expensive one was 75k.

Its like the famous photo of the 3 Fords crossing the finish line together. I dont know anything about cars, but I've seen Ford vs Ferrari.
