Are you good to your Max?
#7
It could be better if I didn't have so many things that I create. I still treat it like my pride and joy. Sometimes you gotta smack her around a little, and let her know who's boss. She calls me "daddy" does that count?

I treat her best I can, but prob. should do more. Driving too fast has resulted in a chipped bumper, headlights and hood. She doesn't get cleaned as often as I'd like. But everyone comments on how well I do clean her. And I hit the rev limiter quite often. But I always warm her up nice and slowly keeping close to 2k RPM. She gets GTX about every 3750 and BP Ultimate.

im pretty mental with my max, talk to her like a person, keep her in tip top shape, as for as driving I cruise around town, but hammer down at the track. the engine is approaching 162,000 miles and she runs sweet ! hard to believe i have had the car 8 years, she's been great !

My fiancé hates my car because it gets so much attention... The max is an attention *****.
"Your going to wash it again, you just washed it"
"You just changed the oil"
"It doesn't need wax"
etc...

I take good care of my car...From a mechanical point of view, I always do the oil changes with mobil 1 synthetic and use mobil 1 filter. I always check all fluids and top off if needed. Always warm it up nice n slow before I hit the freeways or do any spirited driving, etc etc...From a cosmetic point of view, I take it to the car wash every 2 weeks but I park it outside at work so it gets dirty anyway, and the inside I keep clean as I can since I got it in such good shape...None the less my car is outta state and has a lot of rust so I'm guessing this car is good for only another 2-3 years which is how long I plan on keeping it anyway

"but I'm washing it to make it look good when I drive you to the salon"
"but I gotta keep it running good, change the oil, so I can take you places"
"but waxing it makes it look so much better, baby"
OR
"hey, toots.... cold steel doesn't talk back"
"better to wax the Max than wax your a$$"
"have you changed YOUR oil lately?"

I do treat it better than my girl, which is a lot to say... My mom thinks I'm gonna wash the paint off, My dad doesnt understand how every weekend im doing SOMETHING with the car, Everyone thinks im a loser for being on these forums, I clean the garage just so I can park in it, Every dollar I earn is spent on it, Yeah i'd say I treat it pretty well.

I live in an apt right now and the trunk of my max is cluttered with rags, tools, spare parts, fire extinguisher. When I get my townhouse shortly, the car will be cleaned out. Driving it I am pretty gentle and stay on top of all maint items. I also shift around 2500 rpm 99% of the time.
