MC time
....My time with my MC is on the weekends. I wash it when I can. I go to Car shows when I can and I drive it to Church. I also
go to the Grocery store with it ( parked by itself ) and to Target.
I also drive it to the nursing home where my Mom is. And of course whenever me and my girlfriend go out.

16 to 24 but it varies depending whether or not I have a project going on or not. But heck ive consumed this much time detailing it for the car show in OC Maryland this weekend

Well the Red car doesn't really get dirty - just the usual contaminants that's in the air when it's outside at car shows. I usually spend about an hour before every car show cleaning it up. The Silver one is a little more difficult cause it's outside all the time - I try to cover it when I can to keep it clean and I also I try to rinse it off every couple of days.

Definitely 1-8 hours...I daily drive my car. But I only wash it about 2-3 times a month. However when I do wash it myself, I usually spend a good 2-4 hours doing so.
Then there may be spikes in my time spent on it every couple months when I do maintenace like oil changes, etc. Of course the major maintenace like when I hit 100K proabably totaled 10 hours by itself.
It just depends on the month, and what it needs.

I have a 96 Lumina (aka the 4 door Monte Carlo) that's about to turn 200,000 miles. I'm not sure how much time I've spent working on it, but the time I've spent sitting in it is ridiculous. If you figure an avg speed of 45 mph, my butt has been in that seat almost 4,500 hours. Oh, and I must be bored, because I figured out the money I've spent on the car, including payments, maintenance, insurance, gas, etc........ it totals over $50,000. Any one want to buy it for $50K - (look, I'm just trying to break even here.)
