"It's too small"

[eslai]

Don't take this the wrong way, but you seem to post a lot of threads that discuss what other people say about your car. You don't really care what they think, do you? Or is it really making you insecure?

If so, you've definitely bought the wrong car. A Magnum on 20" dubs would get you more positive attention and comments about your humongous phallus than a Boxster. The people that are making comments are not the type that would appreciate your "baby Porsche".

Likewise, I don't think: "I mean, I guess I'm the only guy driving around a sports car..."

Rather, people that own the sports cars either do them themselves or pony up the $150+ to have it professionally detailed.

Well, if he lives in the Manhattan area, I can see how he might not have room to wash it himself. Apartment/Condo life makes that difficult.

I wash my car myself. It's got swirl marks all over now. It's overdue for a professional detailing.

What..?



The thread is about the car wash not being able to accommodate my car. Everything else you assumed is just that; an assumption. I tried to make it into a little story... that's all.




I have a home in Westchester county, NY but I am there only 3 days a week. The rest of the time I am in Albany at an apartment and the other day I would say I am busy driving (11,800 miles on her already...)

Too small? That definetely can't be the reason unless the guy knew something was wrong with his car wash and smallER cars were having trouble in it.

The Boxster is small, but it's not freaking CRAZY small or something.

Now, I think the guy maybe didn't want the liability of a Porsche in his car wash.

OR, maybe he was messing with you and referring to the size of your penis because of the car you drive. After all, he did say "too small!" not... "your car is too small!"

Yeah, it's not THAT small.


Neither is my .........

My apologies if I read too much into it. I'm just saying that this isn't the first thread I've read from you that commented about what someone said about your car. It made you sound like you were fishing for reassurances. My bad if that is not the case.

No problem.


I get crap handed to me all the time about my car (not in person) and it only bothers me to the extent that people are very ignorant, but it never made me second-guess my decision.

Was it the type of car wash where you put it into neutral and the conveyor belt type thing pulls your car through?

If so, he might have meant that the car was too low to fit up onto the conveyor (you often have to drive up and onto it). Several of my friends have this same problem, so they have to go to drive in/park/wash rotates around the car/touchless type car washes. Though, I've never had a problem with mine.

Automatic car wash issues.

Swirl marks

Clear coat wear

Harsh detergents

Water pressure pushes water where you don't want it.

Porsche are very low, bad things can happen to their undercarriage

Mirrors get hammered

Soft tops get damaged

Wheels can get trashed big time.

There must be more.

Don't go there, please, your car will thank you.

IMO.

Living proof right here of the wheel/rim damage, went there acouple times and when i finally washed my car on my own, i noticed my drivers side wheels had curb rash.... which is weird since the drivers side is no where near the curb when i park.

BINGO! Many car washes cannot take cars as low as the Box.
