Everyonce and a while when I look at my car and see all the brake dust, I'm almost proud of it. Like, I've run my car so much, THAT is there. Or especially after a mountain/canyon run, I step outside and see a lot more brake dust there than before the run. Kinda like a badge of honor or something...
I've also learned to love the smell of tranny fluid, oil, coolant, tires, and brakes, all at once, makes you kinda dizzy, haha...
Bah, maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I'm just making an excuse to not hunch over the clean the hell outta my wheels...
I dunno, for some reason I like a little dirty look, brake dust, and some dirt on the front bumper and dirt kicked up from the wheels to the fenders...
Bah, I don't wanna wash my car, too damn bright outside, and it's 4pm damnit...

I like clean wheels, but seeing as how I don't have a hose, and I'm to cheap to pay for a car wash, they'll be dirty til I get back to my parents, so I guess I'll say I like brake dust, just so I have an excuse
Also, I worked in a shop helping rebuild automatic tranny's the summer after I finished HS. One time I spilt an entire bucket of auto tranny fluid on me... Of course this was about 10am, so I got to live w/ it until 5... Needless to say, I'm not a fan of that smell.

You can always tell who cares about their cars by how clean the wheels are. Anyone can take their car through a carwash and have the paint shining, but only the truly dedicated take the time to scrub those wheels down inch by inch
except if u like brake dust...

You like brake dust because when you have alot of it you think your wheels are gunmetal. Sometimes if my car looks dirty and i'm in a hurry i'll just clean my wheels and it makes it look much better.
