Somewhat unusual request...(M3 related)

MistaVauros · 08-09-2010, 04:38 PM

All -

I planning to either trade or sell my current 2005 E46 M3 w/ZCP for a 2011 E92 M3 w/ZCP. However, here is my issue. I currently live in a townhome/condo here in Columbia, MD without a car garage. The parking is general public parking and I'm somewhat concerned about having the new M3 parked out there. So far, I haven't had too many issues with dings or scratches from other cars in the lot; people seem to respect each others vehicles.

However, I know all it takes is one azzhole to swing his or her door open too wide. I actually want to sell or rent out this house so I can buy up, but the market is just too weak right now and I'm $45K upside down on the loan. I make very good money (more than $160K) and can afford the car, I just don't know if I should wait until I can get a house with a car garage (which could be 2-3 years depending on the market).

So, my request is this: Would anyone in my area consider allowing me to wash the car at their house on the weekends? Obviously, we would first have to build some type of rapport with each other (through meets and what not). I would even pay just to use the water.

I know I should, and will, post this in the regional forum but I wanted to add more visibility to the post.

Thanks!

I live in Laurel. I live in a TH but have two spaces out front. I could easly move my car out the way for you so you have two spaces to wash your car. Let me know.

Wow! I would really appreciate that. So, you just run a hose from your townhome out to the parking lot?

I'll send you a PM so we don't use the forum for this type of dialog.

Thanks!

I'm in York, have 2 extra bays and a wash bay. I'll throw an offer out there but I feel that its just a bit too far

I really appreciate the offer, but, yes, that drive would put way too many miles on the M3. hehe!

did you post this request twice to get more responses? LOL

I'm on Rt 108 near the Costco and not far away. I have a 2 car garage/driveway, although very little shade (sun faces the front of the house). You're welcomed to come over.
