Tankman 3,515 #1 Posted September 12, 2018 I have my reasons, cause I'm allowed to.. Will be 71 years "young" next month so.....I do whatever I like. This evening however I totally lost it. I think? Went into the corral with my doggie, and waxed (Turtle Wax) my '90 520-8 while the doggie sniffed around. This Stallion works hard! Deserves a rub down. Now I'm thinking, "Tire paint. Why not?" I have a gallon (haven't used any in a year or so ). Think I've gone too far, too far gone? Guess it's WHA (Wheel Horse Addiction). Could be worse. I guess? Goodnight Deere (). 7 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I took wheel weights off, polished the baby moons so the Stallion could dress up for awhile. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronhatch 405 #4 Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) Since I was 14 or so,I've been a great believer in whatever I own needs to run good and look good. I call it pride of ownership. I think it's the German in me. So no Tankman, I don't think your 'losing it'. Edited September 12, 2018 by ronhatch 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You like your stuff to look as good or better than it runs and works. More people should think like that. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
