[mollycorolla]

Nothing wrong with a purple car ;)

I think it is only #10 on that list I am guilty of

I'm sure I could think of plenty others not on the list I do though

5,6,7,10 :( my poor car

[Karma Supra]

I must admit, none of those really apply to me, -although my car is filthy these days I do clean it at least twice a month lol.

The only thing that bothers me is the oil changes... my car has a full service history, but I feel that 13 000 miles between oil changes is too long... The supra used to get changed every 3000 - 5000, but I had rebuilt the engne from scratch so I was very carefullt to protect my handywork!

I think people should add more regular transmission and diff oil changes to the list too ;)

#7 is my bad one.

[nuntius]

Oh my God, I am killing my beauty!!! I am afraid I have to take care of the notices no.2,6,10!!! The OEM tyres are just freaking bad and I never get the correct pressure, because when i fill them in the factory standards the car never brakes!!! And when u are too hot, is there anything better than revving high? Oh my love, I will clean you first thing Sunday morning

[Theorist]

Isnt it also true that having quite a big bunch of keys/keyrings adds premature stress to the ignition switch/barrel because of the weight? Ive heard of this,just wondered is there any truth in it you reckon?

My Dad does 3,7,8,10 even though i keep telling him constantly.
