GOLDEN RULES of my Z4
- Thread starter JetBlackZ
- Start date
Phew you folk have made me feel a lot better, I thouht it was just me 
I think I agree wth all those, though I do let someone wash it, but he is professonal.
Here's a few of mine:
Tax disc needs to be at the correct angle;
Children must be accompanied by both parents;
Don't slam the door!
When not in use the passenger seatbelt must rest on the seat bolster, not tap on the door;
The cigarette lighter must be lined up correctly;
the recess around the gar selector is not for putting things in;
CD boxes go in the glovebox - it's the law;
If used, sun visors must be put back properly;
When the roof stays up, no strong or disagreeable perfume, no matter how much it cost;
Nothing may be placed in the recess left when the sat nav is up;
It's a Z4, not a 'Beemer'!!
No singing;
No hats;
No complaining the ride is hard, it's a sports car - I have a bad back, you don't, I don't complain;
If the roof is down it may be cold - it's Britain get used to it;
No holding the door handle when cornering, braking or accelerating (it won't help);
No exiting the car whilst it is moving, regardless of whether this seems the safest thing to do at that moment.
Quite an easy going bloke, as you can see
Yes, divorced actually, how could you tell? No, I don't get many passengers

Very funny 
I understand and sympathise with many of these. But should say that the extent to which I enforce them with female passengers is inversely proportional to how nice they are, and the extent to which I want to convince them that I'm actually quite a nice guy, really.

Yeah I'll probably let a girl touch me whilst I'm driving. Unless I'm driving spiretedly.
Besides I wait till I get to know em, then I crack the don't do that whip
In addition to things you have listed I submit these:
No putting on makeup in Zed.
No removal or putting on cloths while Zed is in motion.
Only I can park Zed in home garage and it must line up with parking markers I have in garage with wheels perfectly aligned straight.
Other vehicles in my garage must be on their marks to make sure there will be no door dings on any vehicle.
Zed must be wiped down, wheels cleaned, and interior vacuumed after every use, no exceptions.
If Zed has not been used in a month it is to be started and ran in the garage for at least 15 minutes at various RPMs.
Battery Tender is to be connected when Zed is parked and not running. And connected immediately after each trip.
Top is to lowered in the garage on even months and up on odd months while not in use.
Floor of garage is to be swept before Zed is parked and appropriate floor carpets in place.
All tools and other supplies are to be secured in proper shelves via tie downs that are in the garage.
Only real melodic music is to be played in Zed. No crap noise masquerading as music. I and only I determine playlist, volume and other settings.
My kids and grandkids are not even allowed to go into the garage and if I give them a ride they must have on clean cloths and no shoes.
Anything placed in the trunk must be wrapped in plastic to make sure there are no leaks.
I will not allow Zed to be driven on some roadways.
If Zed is parked in public parking lot it is to be placed in a handicapped space with extra loading space on each side. The space must be visible by me when in a business or someone must stay in the Zed.
If I do not do the maintenance on Zed, it must be done in my presence.
I just read this list to the wife and she said. You are worse than that; you must have forgotten something.

Andreas said:What i hate the most is when they touch the window to close the door leaving their fingerprints on it
Interesting. Again, mine is a daily driver so I'm not *quite* as picky, but I prefer leaving fingerprints on the window to the door as it's easier to get them off the window!
i like parking far, far away.
my woman always complains about me making her walk so far. even actually thought that i did it so that she could walk more and lose weight! HAHA!
and the fingerprints on my windows.... i hate it.
i showed her these rules the other night and she finally understood. here i was.. thinking i was anal about my car.. and no... i just like my s**t clean

most annoying is finger prints on the car. so my big rule is:
#25: when closing the door, inside palm of the hand pushes against the edge of the door for grip and then close door, therefore the hand NEVER touches the outside of the car, therefore no finger prints ... when opening the door, use your fingers to pull the handle WITHOUT touching the door handle with your thumb
