EVERYONE in my family thinks I'm pretty nuts too... spend loads of time driving my CS, usually to nowhere special, cleaning it and waxing the wheels, just love that. Have carrera classics though so haven't had to take them off yet. I've even carefully positioned 4 pieces of carpet squares so my tires have somewhere soft to rest on rather than bare, cold concrete The carpet scraps each have hash marks on the concrete so that I can re-position them if necessay--seeing that drew a set of rolling eyeballs one afternoon from my teenage daughter. Cleaning and looking at my CS has replaced yardwork as a quiet, peaceful refuge....
