Just wondering is there a way to spend too much time with are EP? Since are first warm weekend in early March I have spent every weekend doing something with my EP by going to meets, moding, or just taking an hour or two to wash it. I have never had a car that I have done this with.

I am just wondering how much time do you spend with your EP?

As often as I can, which hasn't been much lately...no time & money. In turn my ride needs a serious detailing ASAP! :eek:

I used to wash it every week back when it was brand new, but now that I have some dings and scratches(not all my fault), I find I'm washing it less and less. But I must say nothing feels better than spending a few hours washing/claybaring/waxing the EP.
I have a feeling once I get enough money to start modding it'll only get worse.

I love my EP!!!!


Wash and wax(or atleast try to wax it) every sunday. Put about 1 mod on a month. Do meets like every 3 weeks. And well... I drive my car about 300 miles a week.:D

My girl thinks I spend way too much time with my car! But she does know I love her more. I like to relax and chill by spending time detailing my ride or instaling new parts.

peace

I actually had my girlfriend wanting to help me clean my car today! I let her spray it off and rub a little sizope on me. Then we cleaned the car! But ya shes starting to spark an interest now in my car and I LIKE IT!

Me and the EP are always together. I even work a second job so I can buy her that turbo she's always wanted. She deserves it.:D

I work about 5 miles from work (really small town) but I live about 30 miles from Lake Tahoe. So everyweekend I wash her, then drive to Tahoe or beyond. My car just had its one month anniversary and it already has 2879. But with gas at 2.35 a gallon (for the cheap shit!!!!) i have been driving a little less. A little...

Don't drive an EP, but I still love my car anyway and spend as much time possible. Just wish mods were cheaper :(

I had to cut back my time with the EP when I couldn't remember my daughter's name :o I drive at least 100 miles a day to get to work and back home.

P.S :am I the only one with a Matchbox Ep sittin on their computer at work?

Meanwhile, I try to be the ying to dj addicted's yang and keep my ep as dirty as possible for the most part. ;)
At least I went to the car wash place last night for about 15mins...

You got your whole life to live man. Live it up to the fullest any way you'd like. I say if it's fun for you do it. I know I'm gonna spend a lot of time when I get my car. Just.. if you believe in heaven or hell like I do, just don't do anything you'd regret when it comes to you having fun.

So I say spend all the damn time you'd like. :) ;)

i would like to be able to spend less time working on my car, but i always end up wrenchin... adding a new toy, adding some new mod, retorquing bolts, adjusting this or that, changing bulbs or fuses, etc... this car falls apart faster than i have time to fix it :( :p ;) :D
i still gotta find time to pick up a new fuse for my box...

Man, I'm starting to realize this modding cars is cool and all. To me though....it's starting to be a waste of money. It's a car...it will depreicate in value.

I'm more worried about socking money away in my IRA, fixing up my house and going out.

I'll slap some 700 dollar rims on it and call it a day. When I pay the car off in 3 years this will be my last car for a while. I don't want another damn car payment.

When the engine dies...I'll buy another engine....other than that...no more new cars for me.
