How often do you wash your car?

I'm kinda curious because I was having a discussion with a colleague today and he was telling me he washes, or gets his car washed at least once a week. I thought that seemed crazy! I probably get mine washed maybe 3-4 times a year. LOL

Granted he also drives a new BMW, so that might have something to do with how frequent he gets it washed...

What about you?

    I just don't trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn't die.

    When I had a car I loved I washed it twice a month. Now maybe once every 2 months or so.

    I'm with the OP, even less probably :D my dad used to make me wash his damn car every week when I was a kid, I hated every minute of it :mad: So now my cars get neglected as a course of my rebellion!!!!
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    About once a year. I am mean and neglectful to my Toyota truck but it runs and runs and runs.

    When it's warm maybe once every other week. I don't wash the truck anytime between October 1 & April 1 because it leads a hard life in the winter. But the inside is always spotless.

    I had my car in to get the alignment adjusted recently and they washed it for me.
    It had been so long since it was washed last that it almost looked weird Hahaha! Wasn't used to seeing shine.

    i get a free car wash with every oil change... so i usually hold off until that.

    but if needed, i'll go to a local place that costs only a few bucks.

    about the same, once a week in summer, once every couple weeks in fall/spring, a couple times in winter to get all the salt off it if it is not going to snow in the next couple days.

    I always do it myself too, but not in the winter since the outside water is shut off
