Default Car neglect after buying your bike?

This is kind of random, but I figure this has to be at least somewhat common among others, and I just wanted to see. I used to be alllll about maintaining/cleaning/modding my car, but since buying my bike, I've just about lost all interest in my car. Anyone else ever had this happen?

I'd have to say because I now own a bike, I detail my car and bike more that I ever had with my other cars.

Its fast and easy, and once I clean one, I just can't help doing the other.


modding on the other hand....I just can't see spending the money again. However, it doesn't stop me from daydreaming about projects when I see them.

Same. Happened with my last bike as well. You save a nice chunk of change not spending money on mods for the car

i let my car sit for 6 months because it needed a starter.

now that i found the motivation to fix it though i feel like either doing shit to it or getting another one. i realize summer will end and i will need to get back in the car even when it's not raining.
