The California duster is collecting dust on the shelf, I have never used it since I got rid of the black car. I might get tossed from the forum for admitting this but ..........

I say keep the women and change the car.
Agreed. Women will out last the car.

The car will eventualy wear out. The women will never stop annoying you. EVER!
Feel better now?

So far, I like the potty idea.
Tell them that every time that they wipe their hands on your car, it will be a least 3 or 4 more hours of polishing to get rid of the scratches. That's 3 or 4 hours less "quality time" with the gals.

PROPER PLANNING PREVENTS A **** POOR PERFORMANCE.

Wipe your hands on their blouses and say..."Ah thats better..isnt it?"

I have the answer. I tell my wife every time she touches my car in a rude manner, I need to buy another car part. She doesn't even look at my cars anymore.

Cut their hands off? OK, maybe that's a little extreme.


Leave a clean microfiber towel on the car for them to use instead of hands.

Why didn't I think of that?
No,, I live on a dirt road, it gets dusty constantly. Plus, if you drive a black car anywhere, it shows the dust. I should have gotten a red one.

I must be smarter than I look, I got rid of the woman before I bought my Crossfire. Now she lives in an apartment attached to the house and pays me rent, which I use to buy things for my car.

I wonder what her side of the story is?
Get her to post here with her story.
We need a new story to follow, Pizza seems to have got very quiet lately with his tales.
LOL

I was going to post some of the 'PIZZA/Hope/hooters girls/ect...' old threads as guidelines but I can't easily find them and I am not sure I want to read through it again...

I thought about this, but they have no clue how to properly wash a car that one cares about. I use two buckets, one for the soap, the other for rinsing off the washing implement after each app. I'm sure they would think that's "too fussy" also. Can't win.

Her story would be the same. Divorcing was her idea and it was for the best, we remain good friends. As for her living in my apartment, it's a longer story, suffice to say I did it to help her out, it's not permanent. When we divorced, I bought her a brand new car and the SRT6 for me.

Ok, I went to see Mother for Mother's day. When the wife and I were in the car, top down, ready for the 2.5 hr ride home, Mom was standing next to the passenger door, saying goodbye. Don't you know she started wiping the mirror off with her hand. She's 86............what chu gonna do? At least my wife doesn't do it anymore.
