I have to be honest, I used to be overly precious with many of my cars.
In many ways, ‘show cars’ are lovely as garage queens and for taking to events etc, but you won’t get to enjoy them anywhere near as much as a relatively tidy car you can just drive and enjoy
My 911 is over twenty years old and has a few battle scars. When I first bought it, this used to bother me but I have had more fun over the last year or two just driving it and using it as intended. I think I only washed it twice last year and it’s currently sitting in the garage looking at bit dusty and grubby (awaiting MoT test next week). Still scrubs up well though


I admire cleaner, shinier examples but just know that if I had a minter I’d probably be using it even less than I do already.
I think I’m more precious over the newish-to-me little B-class as that really is as-new and I would probably be more annoyed to find a ding or scrape on that
