I just finished washing, drying, and folding around 50 microfiber towels. What a pain in the arse! What don't you like doing for your vehicles?

I don't like to do anything to my vehicles, I just don't get off on car care. I do what needs done but I can think of a lot better things to do then wash a vehicle that will be dirty in a couple days.

Dislike swapping in my winter wheels. The OE wheels are so heavy!

The older I get the less I enjoy any of it, other than driving. Through my teens and twenties I did everything from engine swaps to transmission rebuilds in my backyard under a Costco canvas tent... now in my thirties--I am quite happy to pay someone to come to my house to detail it once a month and pay someone to change my oil. I do wonder if all the years of working on "old" cars burned me out on car maintenance in general...

I love it all, including cleaning it.....I guess if I had to pick something it would be maintenance and getting gas, although I do both LOL.

Same here except I enjoy doing maintenance too.. the thing I dislike the most is bringing any of our cars to the dealer for repairs/warranty items. Don’t trust those guys for the most part and that’s one reason why I do my own maintenance.
