Am I the Only one?

[Peter-man99]

Hey,
I am coming out of the perverbial closet here. I wash and polish my 99 Disco 1 and take care of if as though it were a street racer honda civic. I'm a little embarrassed to admit this because Rovers are bad ass and a go anywhere do anything type vehicle.

Currently its just a grocery getter until my wife gets her car. I am in the process of accumulating gear to make this a capable trail rig (need more money or no wife to make it happen There were a couple of options when deciding which D1 I wanted. The one I got was just sexy and in the best shape. This car looks great when its clean so I clean it all the time.

I am starting to worry that I'm treating this thing like a benz instead of the bad ass car it is. Am I the only one that does this?

 

[Ho]

peter, there's nothing wrong with keeping your disco clean. keep up the good work.

 

[koby]

Definitely not the only one, but you're also definitely in the minority.

There's nothing wrong with a little love for the Disco.

The alternative is mind numbing... Being proud of a fucked up dirty-ass rig.

 

[cmondieyoung]

It's like giving a football player a pedicure.

Seems wrong, but they secretly love it.

"Would you give a guy a foot massage?"

"Would you give a guy a foot massage?"

that would be a big NO!!
Though there's nothing wrong with washing your rig. You're proud of your rig and want it clean... don't think that's a bad thing

Personally i like the look of a muddy disco. It adds charecter. I do get the interior detailed once a year though, mainly so everyone doesnt complain about how dirty it is. I dont care for the look of a dull dirty street grime though. If thats what oneyour truck, since you said tis just a grocery getter, then its good to wash it often. I always hose off underneath my truck.

It adds charecter

Jeepified!

 

[p m]

come on - you need to show your neighbors that the truck is used for its intended purpose

 

[koby]

That's what photo galleries are for!

On the trail, Disco can get dirty, but on the street, where there is no dirt, all it screams is "I'm a poseur!"

 

[LostInBoston]

"I'm a poseur!"

LOL

my truck is curerntly used more for offroading then street use.
Mud hides the scratches, looks better, shows everyone that i am in fact NOT a poseur because i use it for its intended purpose. If i hit the trail once a year and kept my truck muddy the other 364 days then yeah, that may be poseurish (real word?) but like i said, i use my truck more offroad then on currently, so the mud stays.

 

[koby]

LOL

"Would you give a guy a foot massage?"

Saaahaha...

"I give my mother a foot massage!"

Only time I'll ever leave my Disco dirty is after a good muddy run... Then I can drive through Boulder throwin' mud flakes all over traffic.

If it was any other town, I'd be worried about givin' Landie drivers a bad name, but let's face it...it's Boulder.

 

[scubaman99]

Hummm......

"Would you give a guy a foot massage?"

Now i can say that i honestly have never given a guy a foot massage...

which leads me to the question, Mr. Certified Athletic Trainer... how many guys have you had to massage





course you have a really good excuse for doing so. hehehehe

Man, I can't believe that only one of you guys picked up on the Pulp Fiction quote:

Jules: It was a foot massage. A foot massage means nothin'. I give my mother a foot massage.

Vincent: It's layin' your hands in a familiar way on Marsellus' new wife. Is it as bad as eatin' her pussy out? No. But it's the same fuckin' ballpark.

Jules: Whoa, whoa, whoa... stop right there. Eatin' a bitch out and givin' a bitch a foot massage ain't even the same fuckin' thing.

Vincent: It's not... it's the same ballpark.

Jules: Ain't no fuckin' ballpark neither. Now look, maybe your method of massage differs from mine, but y'know, touching his wife's feet and stickin' your tounge in the holiest of holys ain't in the same fuckin' ballpark, it ain't the same league, it ain't even the same fuckin' sport. Foot massages don't mean shit.

Vincent: Have you ever given a foot massage?

Jules: Don't be tellin' me about fuckin' foot massages. I'm the foot fuckin' masta.

Vincent: You given a lot of 'em?

Jules: Shit yeah... I got my technique down and everything. I don't be ticklin' or nothin'

Vincent: Would you give a guy a foot massage?

Jules: Fuck you.

Vincent: You give 'em alot?

Jules: Fuck you.

Vincent: You know, I'm kinda tired. I could use a foot massage myself.

Jules: Yo man, you just back off. I'm gettin' a little pissed here.

 

[koby]

And Ken, for the record, I only do foot massages on our women's track athletes. LOL

"It ain't even the same fuckin' sport!"

Man, what a great movie.

The Kill Bills were okay, but the humor was too subtle. Not enough sassy wise-talkin' gangsters....

 

[Ron L]

Its easier to find in a parking lot

BUT, thats was three years ago and I am still cleaning that whale shit off my rig.

 

[cmondieyoung]

That is awesome

I heard that a good wax job (on the Disco) is a pretty effective way to avoid the deep scratches that are the starting points for rust. Not to mention, the mud seems to make things wear out quicker.

Having said that:
