All i can think about it washing, srtipping, clay baring and waxing my 6 this weekend... seriously, that and dtailing the interior as well... first wash since the tint, new coat of wax, got a Nikon D40 so pics will be a big step up (some pics in the link in my sig) but really, is it odd to be excited about the prospect of 5+ hours labor on your car just to clean it....

P.S. THen i am gonna turn around and do my buddies G35 with him in prep for a local meet... i only go to 1 or 2 a year so i try to use it as an excuse ot do it up real nice...

Not at all.
I've been waiting for about a month to give my car a good wash and to put my new wheels on and I've been dreaming about the day I'll be doing the clay and wax and debadging for about a month or so now and it will be April 23rd.

Definitely not a lsr! I am anxiously awaiting the next stretch of warm days to give my car the full spring detail. Wash, clay, polish, wax. The poor thing has taken a beating this winter.

I get jealous of my friends when they get to detail their car and I am stuck changing my oil on a nice day lol.

I was so sad I couldn't wash my car for like 3 weeks cause of rain, in san diego that is a long time. I don't know how you guys do it in other states, I would go nuts!
