Everyone has rules for their car, What are yours?

[Blackened300a]

I saw this on another forum, Just checking to see if you guys are as insane as me.

For the interior...
No smoking! Rolling down the window is unacceptable, I dont care if the door is missing, No smoking!
No eating the in the car at all. Bottled water is fine as long as it remains in the bottle.
No feet on my dash or off the floor mat.
No people over 300lbs in my seats. Lately its been a no-passenger rule except for family and the GF.
Radio is off limits to change stations.
Windows will be locked during bad weather if my car ever see's bad weather.
No wet clothing. Take your jacket off and put it in the trunk.
Gas is unacceptable unless its in my tank.
No kids. They pull things apart and think the back seat is their play ground.

For the exterior...
I open the door for people so they dont get their finger prints all over the door or window.
No door slamming.
No leaning on the car
No asking to lean against the car
No touching under the hood. All that aluminum is a PITA when it comes to keeping it polished.
No washing or wiping my car. I pride myself in zero swirls or imperfections, I dont need anything added.
No running your hand down to see how smooth it is. I have 15 coats of wax on it and endless amounts of clay barring so I can assure you its as smooth as it can possibly be.

I try to do my best to keep careless people and young kids away from my car. I already had a kid spill ice cream on it, a dumb woman rub her handbag across my door and some moron skim the rear bumper with his briefcase.
My car is over 7 years old and Im trying to keep it looking as new as possible thats why I treat this thing like my first born.

My fusion daily driver is kinda basic, for the interior, no smoking and take all your stuff out of my car when you get out.
The exterior is basic too, dont lean on it and dont scratch it.

[Zack]

I used to be JUST like you!
..then I woke up, threw all those rules in the trash and what do you know?....
I started enjoying the car.

[Motorhead350]

Geeze Paul, you're gonna hate me.

1. Eat whatever as long as it doesn't leave a stain if dropped.
2. Drinks are fine as long as they have lids.
3. If you make a mess, clean it up.
4. Garbage goes in the cup holder and will be disposed of when we reach the destination.
5. All cargo stays in the trunk unless it's a jacket or book of CDs
6. NEVER slam the door no matter how much I piss you off. :P
7. Smoking is allowed if asked.
8. Never turn off my radio. I nearly flipped out on my roomate over that last summer.
9. Keep as many quarters in the car as possible.
10. I'm the only one that pulls out the P.A.

I think that's it.

I remember you saying that a few years back. ;)

[Jimimac43]

I agree with Zack, normal everyday stuff sans smoking is ok with me. It's not a shrine. But to each his own.

[Paul T. Casey]

Smoking is fine.
No eating, unless your name is Peyton and are less than 3 years old.
Drinking is fine, just bring your trash with you.
All controls not meant for the driver are to the right of the radio.
Put your junk in the trunk.
The painted surfaces are not chairs/ leaning posts. If you're tired, open the door and sit in a chair.
Feet belong on a carpeted surface.
Refrain from screaming in corners, or at speed, I know the car's and my capabilities.

[LeoVampire]

Do not slam the doors.

No feet on the dash.

Seat belts ARE A MUST it's the LAW

If you lay down in the back for a long drive shoe's come off.

No one uses the cigarett lighter nor the ash tray.

No leaning on the car nor sitting on any part of it.

No resting bags or box's on the rear bumper cover while opening the trunk or closing it putting stuff in and out of it.

And for Pete's sake put my seat back to where you found it in the first place.

The dog's are not allowed in it without a quilt being used to cover the entire back seat.

If you hit a curb with a rim you can never drive the car again EVER!

Leave the change alone it is for emergency's only both in the ash tray and the center counsol.

No Drugs other than perscription and no booze it's my license and car that will be pulled and towed as well as arrested.

[blazen71]

No pets or passenger smoking

[SVT_MERC]

No pets
No smoking
Noting touches any painted surface other than cleaning/polishing products
Interior is sotchguarded so just be careful with food or drinks
Most importantly Always kick the dirt off your shoes before getting in!!!

[Egon Spengler]

I have no rules... I eat breakfast in my car on the way to work every morning and I smoke cigars on occassion... My only rule...

IF I let you drive it, Drive it like you stole it, or I will have you pull over and take the helm myself!

I like your style dude...

[Black Dynamite]

I'm not that strict but I rarely have passengers.

1) No smoking in or right by the car if the windows are down. That includes upwind of it.

2) Knock the crud of your shoes before you get in and keep your feet on the floor. Dont scrunch up my floormats either, that bugs me.:mad2:

3) No leaning on the paint.

4) No belts with metal bits or chain wallets. Scratched leather=slow painful death for you. No "crashing" into the seat, just sit down and don't slam the door.

5) Don't touch the thermostat. If your cold, use the heated seats.

6) Asking me to drive down gravel is about as effective as asking your grandma to cut off her thumbs.

Actually that's alot more rules than I realized I had, I guess I am one of "those guys." So be it...:cool:

[LIGHTNIN1]

1. Throw your chicken bones out the window.
2. No one over 250 lbs.
3. Ugly goes in the trunk.
4. Gas passers go in the trunk.
5. Scientologists go in the trunk.

[Egon Spengler]

Oh, I forgot one rule...
http://www.myteespot.com/images/Images_d/d_7387.jpg

[a_d_a_m]

My basic rules.
1. No smoking in the Marauder. You can smoke in the Magnum as long as you ash out the window.
2. Don't f*** my s*** up, and you can ride in the car.

[justbob]

Inside:

Smoke what you brung
No drugs or alcohol
Please atleast try and wipe your feet, but crap happens
No ashtray, ever.
no pets
Touch whatever, I really could care less anymore.
If you eat, you must share.

Outside:

DO NOT EVEN THINK about touching, leaning, or sitting on it. It is not a wall, a chair, a bed, or a hang out center.
If you are a kid under the age of 10, I WILL OPEN YOUR DOOR!

My car is very rarelly dirty, extremely well kept, in and out, and this is after 6 years of ownership. My car looks good, smells good, and runs even better.

[Bluerauder]

No Rules -- Just Right ;)

OK just 1 rule and everyone I know completely understands it. :D

DON'T SCREW UP MY CAR -- IT'S CLEAN AND ITS GONNA STAY THAT WAY.

[Blackened300a]

I used to be JUST like you!
..then I woke up, threw all those rules in the trash and what do you know?....
I started enjoying the car.

I enjoyed the car for the first 3 years it was a daily driver. Then I grew to appreciate it more and took it off the road.
If I had 2 it would be a different story with at least one of them.;)

[juno]

Passengers:
1. No crying
2. Seatbelt or walk.
3. Don't open the window unless you are crawling out or talking to a hot chick.
4. If your skirt is short and you are over 18 you have shotgun.

Drivers:
Before the gas pedal travels past a 1/4 "

A. Open straight road.
B. OD off
C. Wheels completely straight
D. Road is bone dry
E. Nothing in your mouth that didn't grow there.

[RoyLPita]

Younz got me thinkin':
No smoking. I don't care if there are cigarette burns from the 1st owner on the carpet. The answer is NO!
The dash is not there to put your feet up. If you have them up there and the passenger side air bag activates, you'll have no feet letalone anything below the knees after that.
Do not slam my doors. If you do and something breaks, You will be paying for it to be repaired.
Leave the windows alone. They are cracked open for a reason.
Do not lean on my MM or ask to do so.
Only caged pets allowed. Leave the hamster at home.

You are, however, allowed to adjust the seat your liking.

And remember to do this: Get in, Sit down, SHUT UP, And Hold on.

Do not complain about my driving. If you do, I will either argue with you about it or let you out in the middle of nowhere. The choice is yours.


Are we clear??? If yes, Sign here__________________________ __. :D

[vkirkend]

Wives are only allowed to ride and have to request permission in writing 30 day prior to any request to drive... (QUICK DUCK!!!!!!!!):flamer::bop:

[BAD MERC]

I eat and drink in mine BUT, I have dark charcoal towels covering the entire floor and light gray towels on the seats. I hate when a beautiful car has the interior wasted from wear and tear.

I won't do that. Sometimes I gotta stop the woman if the kiss is too long. I'm like that with my truck too.

Maybe I watched Christine too many times, but I had that attitude before I saw the movie.

[Jimimac43]

"That's mighty Bold talk for a one-eyed fat-man"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PonyUP]

My rules are:
Smoke em if you got em, you burn a hole you buy me a new Mustang
Drink if you like, you stain the car, you buy me a new Mustang
Food is fine, drop a fry in a hard to get place, you will take the car apart until you find it, or buy me a new Mustang
Leaning on the car is fine, provided you are a hot girl in a bikini
Don't stare too long at the front emblem, it makes me feel awkward
Don't call me Mustang Sally, my brother did that once...Once
And lastly, don't ding the outside with anything or else.. you guessed it, your buying me a new Mustang.
Considering it is time to move up to the 2011, I invite all to break the rules, because I need a new Mustang

1 Rule: No shooting out the windows gangsta style.
Well, 2 rules, 2 being make sure the window's down when you shoot!

I did have a friend riding shotgun in my car in highschool that was so baked he loogied on my window thinking it was rolled down! :D

No rules necessary, the car and I get respect without asking.

I had a girlfriend that made the same mistake, well kind of

This explains your question about polishing is the other thread.

[Blackened300a]

Appreciated it more by using it less? :confused:

Yeah, I used it everyday and started modding the car, that's when I felt it was insane driving a car that I started putting money into back and forth to work.
The area I work in is rough on a car so when I decided that I wanted to keep it for as long as possible, I took it off the road and bought a beater car.
I still drive the car whenever I get a chance, but its for fun not for work or reason.

[breeze]

if u smoke better be before you get in...no eatting...MAX LIMIT of 4...no cheap gas...only 93oct..no dirty/muddy shoesclothes...take your trash with u...no riding dirty (if u know what i mean)...etc

[CBT]

No open containers. You can drink coffee, water, whiskey, whatever, as long as you can cap it. I'm not leaving a light like granny moses just because you have an open can or bottle.
Smoke whatever you want, cigs, weed, *****, whatever, but ashes go out the window.
There is an "Oh ****!" handle on the passenger side. Use it.
That's about it.

[guspech750]

No smoking
No touching the windows
No feet on the dashboard.......(You will be bitched slapped if you do)
Put all food in your mouth or dont eat at all
No driving like a wuss!!!
If you dont like my car, go "F" yourself!!

[dj_pizm]

1. NO SMOKING UNLESS ITS ME CELEBRATING (IE. win Lottery)
2. 3 people MAX in MM
3. Dont ask me to change the music b/c Im no DJ those are my real initials
4. DONT TELL ME ITS FAST BECAUSE I DRIVE IT DAILY

[John Nero]

drive it like you stole it

[Glenn]

*alls to the wall and SC whine as much as possible! A punch to the century mark and beyond. That's it! :beer:

Glenn :burnout:

[Rocknthehawk]

only rules in my Z...don't move my seat if you drive, and don't touch the vents.

[Pat]

I used to be JUST like you!
..then I woke up, threw all those rules in the trash and what do you know?....
I started enjoying the car.

Right on Zack.

G-kids all over the place, holding the GPS and telling me how much over the speed limit I'm going. 10 cents a pop, stop signs and turn signals ditto. Even a seat belt flub up from time to time.
I can't get out of the neighborhood until it costs me 60 cents.

Food, orange drink for the little one, they have the SIRRUS remote, channel 11 or 81. Booster chairs, tires, gasoline, anything except a load of dirt. Gotta draw the line somewhere. LOL

[justbob]

The first two years I owned it, it spent five days a week off road, mud, snow, ruts, didn't matter, the job is what paid for the car.

Countless amounts of food and beverages have been spilled in it.

It has pulled an E350 work van out of a ditch twice.

Farted in constantly.

Smoked in (window always down, I hate the smell too)

Baby diaper smells.

Baby throw up.

Trunk: gas, weedwacker, blower, used oil, TV, bike, bags of dirt, bags of salt, yada yada yada....

I actually strip the interior at MINIMUM once a year, not really needed at all, but for sake of mind. This is a car for a family for five, and I intend to keep it that way and enjoy it, while allways maintaining to the highest levels. Ask anyone that has been in my car, it is in perfect, and will remain that way.

[dakslim]

I agree...quite a while ago I realized that possesions are just "things" and my kids and grandkids are a whole lot more important to me...that said, I love my Marauder and try to keep it clean and shiny but it is my daily driver and even after all these years it still turns heads.:D

[TooManyFords]

1. No smoking, unless it's puff, puff, pass.
2. No baggage. Leave it at the curb.
and above all else
3. Life is too short! Enjoy the ride!

[PurdueRifleman]

1) No smoking- absolutely no exceptions.

2) No chewing tobacco- this didn't use to be a rule until one of my drunk buddies spilled his spit can all over the carpet. I wound up cleaning it up because he didn't even know his own name. I was repaid some beer for his transgression, however.

3) No road beers- should be self explanatory but I have a few idiot friends

4) Don't wipe your greasy hands in the leather after a run to McD's

5) Don't change the song- You'll listen to Merle Haggard or Van Halen and you'll like it!

[justbob]

After reading thru all these, I am glad I'm usually the one that drives. Never cared for being in someone else's car, especially after reading how ANAL some of you all are! WOW. LOL

[JUST 1BULLITT]

Paul,
"I love you man! ":lol: This is awesome; you're a man after my own heart! :bows: :beer: :banana2: I'm not that strict; but pretty damn close and quite frankly I SHOULD wise up and BE as strict as you.... IF you cherish your ride as you do and want to keep it MINT this is what it takes. So I admire you and RESPECT your rules man; very cool! I like it.

It does crack me up a bit as it reminds me of one of my All-Time Classic/Favorite "A-R-M-Y Movies;" STRIPES w/ Bill Murray...where they're in Basic Training telling the Drill Sergeant and their fellow Platoon Members about "Who they are etc." and the one guy is laying into 'em saying; "ANY of you homo's touch my stuff....I'LL KILL YA!...." ANY of you call me "Francis" -- I'll KILL YA!" Then the Platoon Sarge says "LIGHTEN' UP....'FRANCIS!!!'.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :beer:

no eating, no drinking, no radio-I like the s/c to sing to me, don't run your hand through your hair or touch your face then touch my leather, no suggestions-I am the driver and I drive strategically not fast in my eyes, all in all just don't blink, move or breath.

Don't touch the paint unless you are covered in lambswool or microfiber misted with QD spray, of course that is provided the car was only lightly dusty and you previously used my California car duster on it or washed it (with the lambswool) And you are an over 18 attractive scantily clad woman. Yes my wife accepts this...She doesn't understand but knows thats how it is.
Close the door from outside by using one finger only in the lock button on the drivers side or by the weather strip at the bottom of the window.

Inside, No smoking.
There is enough Zainos on my seats to repel a nuclear attack but still only water or other non sugared drinks inside and they must have a lid. Snacks will consist of dry trail mixes or possibly dry jerky without my favorite habanero pepper seeds all over it.
Yes, I have Weathertech floor mats so please knock off the loose stuff from your shoes before placing your feet directly on the mats. If your feet must leave the mats please make sure your shoes stay firmly on the mats.
Don't touch the windows, you can roll them down although preferably all of them only.
Feel free and try and operate the stereo, the manual is in the glovebox! ALthough you can only use the iPod. I hope you like alternative, punk, grunge or the likes or you are S.O.L.:rock:

Screw top bottles ONLY unless you are married to me. When you help me make the car payments like she does, you may drink out of whatever type container you wish.

No smoking unless you are being dragged behind the car by a hundred foot length of rope. You can drink your coffee out of an open styrofoam cup using this method of transport also.

No illegal substances in the car. If your substances get my vehicle confiscated, I will confiscate some of your appendages and organs and return them when the PD returns my car to me.

Make sure you call LoJack if you take the car while I am sleeping so I don't have to go to the State Police again to get you and the car back home!
