How Much Time Do You Spend On Your Cars???

[partyman66]

In an average month... how much time do you spend working on your own cars(vehicles that you actually own)?

This includes repairs, maintenance, washing/waxing/detailing, upgrades, tuning.

It does not count if you bring your car to someone else to have them work on your vehicle.

almost all my time is spent in the detailing department

Same here - all washing and detailing.

I used to spend 10+ hours a month, used to do all my oil changes and other routine maintenance on top of washing and used to drive 30k miles a year.

Now, I try to avoid washing. Just a pain in the butt, time wise, got other things to do like spend time with the family.

5-10 anything less means you don't love your car enough.

1 - 2 hours.

2 to 3 times a week I use the Caifornia Duster (as seen on TV) and wipe it down. It takes 10 minutes tops, and I usually do it in the morning while the car is warming up.

I don't change my own oil, and the mods are just bolts on, so I don't worry about tuning it or looking under the hood.

The only time I personally wash the car (since I live in an apartment) is with my Dad at his house. We wash it together. It's kind of like our bonding moment. But it doesn't happen all the time, unfortunately. The rest of the time I take it to the car wash. I like taking it to the car wash. You always compare it with all the other cars there and there always some sweet rides too.

Nevertheless, I still love my car.

Damn your car's tail pipes must be clean.
