Opening doors here is a thrill. The front door opens to a view of the waterfall out back burbling. Nothing prepared me for life with an attached garage. Emmy's first garage door opener, :::sigh::: Reminds me of the George Carlin line about why dogs lick their balls (because they can) and how if his tongue reached he'd never leave the house. Well with an attached garage I don't know how anyone ever leaves the house. Leave something in the car? No problem. Oh and the garage door opener- sheesh, what a life! Have to pee while out shopping? No problem, pop in the car and push the button. A true pit stop. I could Zaino my car all day and night in there- regardless of the weather. I fell asleep in there talking on the phone to Jon the first night. Even Rock is compelled to check out the car from the laundry room. You people with attached garages have zero excuse not to have an immaculate car. I have time to see things now that I hadn't dreamed of before. I even cleaned and polished the back window. All of it. No problem. Every time I have to put something into or take something out of or carry groceries into the house it takes me a while to stop staring at the car. I mean, I had read all that stuff about "You know you are a Z3 owner if" and how people have to put down paper in the garage for their drool.... But it's 5 years later and it's still TRUE! I mean- this time last year I was washing my car in the snow . This year is different... I thought it was interesting the patterns that the dirt made on Emmy. Is this the aerodynamics of the car? The path that stones take before they chip the paint? Jeez I love those curves. Peeling off the Stone Guards to reveal the Zaino finish beneath. I have already washed her once briefly yesterday- the dirt fell off the Zaino and the Porterfield brake dust gave up with a single wipe revealing her fat silver wheels and that Boston Green color that makes me shiver with glee. Before the wash: After the wash: It's so wonderful to have an excuse to go out and get- ANYTHING because I can just jump in the car and go- top down.
