I've never had an expensive car but i have had, for my station in life anyway
![Cry laughing :cry: :cry:](/styles/default/xenforo/vbSmilies/Normal/cry.gif)
fairly nice cars, Honda DC5 when it was 5 years old an an Impreza STi which was 5 years old at the time but i rarely ever washed them and certainly never cared about where i parked them or if someone hit it with a trolley in Tesco's.
If i had the cash to splash on a more expensive car i can't see that changing, to me cars are just a tool for a job be it getting me from A to B or something to do track days in, i personally couldn't care less if its covered in scratches or mud or whatever as long as the fundamental mechanics of the car are good and it's not actively rusting the body work away. It'd still get parked as close as i can or stuffed into a hedge on the tiny lanes near where i live to pass the delivery driver in his battered van.
Saying that i did treat my 14 year old shed to the £7 hand car wash at the local immigrant car wash the other week, first time its been washed in about 5 years i think.
