'00 Mitsubishi Galant. I washed it a few weeks ago but it needs a good detailing by a pro. After that maybe i'll care for it myself.

2002 BMW 330Ci. I would like to get really into detailing it, but I am far too lazy/broke. Also the brake dust is a *****, and this is enough to discourage me from the 30 minutes it took me once to get it completely clean. Had I the means I'd invest in a pressure cleaner.

2000 BMW E46 328Ci Bright Red/Sand Beige with Bilstein sport shocks, H&R sport springs, UUC sways, UUC strutbar, UUC Evo3 shortshifter. About 106K miles.

2008 Porsche Cayman Guards Red/Sand Beige. Totally stock. 360 miles.

I wash both cars myself except when the dealer does it sometimes, and I keep them waxed and the inside clean, but not fanatically detailed.

2005 Infiniti G35 Coupe. I'm currently trying to decide if I should trade it in for the new G37 Coupe.

I detail my car about 50% of the time.

I drive an 03 Cobra, the interior is less than spectacular, but the power and toruee make up for it.

We'll just say that it is a bit of a Lemon. I've had others before that have been A-ok.

Right now, I drive a '99 Jeep Grand Cherokee. It drives like a slug, but where I go to school right now it's unbeatable in the winter. It's also cheap to maintain and fairly reliable. I can fix most things on it myself.

Before grad school, I had a '01 330Ci with some suspection and performance upgrades. It was nice, but there were days I couldn't drive it down the road to go to class.

After I graduate, I'll definitely be going back to a Bimmer. It's an itch that needs to be scratched. If I get a really nice offer, then maybe a 911 Carrera S.

I have a 08 VW Rabbit and a 91 BMW 535i. The 535i is in horrible condition but it still runs great. I keep saying I'm going to sell it but I'd have to pay for a lot of cosmetic work so I think I'm going to run it until it explodes and then sell it for parts. I'm not as infatuated with the Rabbit as I thought I'd be.

Citroen SM, plenty of room to put bicycle and baguette in back, enough head room to leave beret on, and in-car lighter for the Gitanes mais...

I think I do this just to elicit the responses, maybe Ed will be lurking. 05' Land Rover LR3. Just detailed with Zaino this past weekend. Got frustrated with the Z-CS, but will give it another shot after the next wash. And FWIW, I love the thing.

2006 Audi A4 2.0T.

When it works well, it's a pleasure, but when it has a problem, I just wish I had a different car. And it's had its fair share of problems. I used to detail the car myself, including the 45-60 minutes it takes to fully clean all 4 wheels due to the horrific brake dust. But with the water restriction this year in SoFLA, combined with the rain, I've been very lax when it comes to washing the car.

If I don't move to a city where I don't need a car, my next car is going to be a Mini Cooper S.

Jon.
