Default i'm bored... POLL:: clean ride or dirty ride?

I found it impossible to have a clean ride, and drive it daily anywhere (and park) + auto-x at the same time. given one of the two, which one would you prefer?

I haven't washed mine since the end of May

Dirty car does seem to draw less attention from the stunnas

How about having 2 cars? 1 for each. Wished I could afford to do that.

Other :-

I wash it nearly every weekend..... Well nearly. I got a cover for when I'm parked outside at work. But it's normally parked in the underground parking.

Later.

I clean my R at least once a week and still beat the hell out of it, auto-x and daily driven. Granted it does get dirty as hell but I take pride in keeping it clean and enjoy giving it a good wash after it starts getting really dirty. Anyone else with a PY knows when they get dirty they get fuggin ugly dirty. I couldn't vote on either of the above because they don't fit my routine.

Black cars just don't stay clean. But it does get washed about once a week. It also gets daily driven and thoroughly beaten on track.

I try to wash it once a week.... usually on Sundays... so at least I can start off the week knowing that my car looks clean for one day....

The last time I personally washed my car was in the year 2000. Not sure which month but probably in the 2nd half of the year.

It was washed by professionals last october.

And rain washes it a lot here in florida.

I keep it clean and drive the crap out of it on the track. There's no choice that fits.

I wash mine every 4~6 weeks.

Sometimes it gets pretty dirty, but it always cleans up nicely. I enjoy washing my car in the same way that some people (derranged psychos) enjoy yardwork.
