When you go to sell this car, just show potential buyers this video. This has got to be one of the most well maintained and pampered cars I've ever seen
@@kipdiggs1827 homebi had a car capsule for an s2000 CR...I mean cmon I mean im sure he's the guy you want to buy a car from sight on seen, but it seems he cannot truly enjoy a car...I wonder if thats why he got rid of the raptor...its meant for off roading but washing it after using those big ass tires that fling crap everywhere, was too much for his OCD.
When you pay upwards of 200k for a car, then some fucking low paid worker at a dealership grabs a sponge with dirt all over it and starts scratching your brand new car and causing the whole car to be scratched, you would understand too.
Pez That I can follow. The difference between him and I is I’ll still drive the hell out of a car if it’s dirty without really obsessing over it’s state of cleanliness.
LOL, bought an M3 from an ocd guy, had to take off all metal including watch strap, wedding ring and even no jean studs before sitting in it. No regrets.
Guy is so honest, gotta give him credit. I have OCD, but more about “what if” scenarios and control over details. It can be a blessing in many ways, but it can be a battle, robbing one of joy. Again, I appreciate his openness 👍
I really enjoyed hearing Matt talk about his experiences in car buying and ownership. Obviously he and I differ considerably in our approaches to car cleanliness but he is definitely the kind of guy you want to buy a used car from. Wow!
I can see this from both points of view... But I say that in a broader sense than just talking about cars. Like for certain goods like expensive electronics or other collectible items, I like to have it brand new because scratches or signs of miss use will drive me crazy. When it comes to a car, obviously it's not the best financial decision to buy new plus you never know if the car you are getting is a lemon lol so you can either buy slightly used or very used... I totally understand why you traded in your green murci tho, it was a near perfect car and the value was too high and you couldn't really have fun with it because you have to be very meticulous, where as with your current car, since it already had issues and was a lower cost anyways, you can afford to mess with is and spend some money and I guess at that point you know the car isn't perfect anyways so you just feel free to drive it at you please
Wow I thought I've seen it all, this guy has a show car bubble in his garage to put the car in @10:23. As someone that will own a supercar a day (hopefully LCF) I don't have it in me to go that far to uphold "Perfection." I rather try to due my due diligence in protecting the car, but I could live with a few imperfections here and there.
Im sure every car he owns or owned is amazing examples but i personally want to get a car to enjoy it and drive it for the fun, if I'm goign to stress to much over the car it probably isnt worth it to my health to own it.
No, the personal hell is having to pay attention to everything anybody touches around you; Having to make a mental history book for everything you touch on a daily bases to see if you FEEL comfortable touching it and not touching washing your hands.
A 3 year old with a handful of chocolate chip cookies and an overactive, overhormoned 9 year old with hulk hands in his garage would have him internally cooked in 5 minutes.
I honestly love how open and honest this guy is about his life with OCD. Comes to show that despite the pitfalls of mental health challenges, you can still enjoy your favorite things in life.
As someone with OCD, the best decision I ever made was getting black out drunk, and learning to live without lists/rules for a week. Constantly wanting to be in control is tiring and just not a way to live.
Exactly, could you imagine having a wonderful life where you can afford any car you want, and then still being unhappy because that supercar has 700 miles on it and that it might have a soec of dirt on it so now youre whole life is spiraling out of control, when in reality nobody actually cares how clean his car is
Matt has spoken at other times about how debilitating these cycles of panic and irrational fear can be. I wish this video had touched on how offensive it could be to people who truly suffer from compulsive behaviors when they hear so many others claim that their neatness tendencies are "OCD". They likely don't understand the negative effect on life that people who are clinically suffering from compulsive behaviors have to deal with.
@@larryvelezbx I'm REALLY tired of hearing people claim they have OCD because something in their life has to be neat or "just right." To those who claim this; You DO NOT have OCD, and you need to stop pretending like you do. Thinking you have to line pictures on your wall with a laser level is not OCD. Having to wash your hands every 2 minutes, open a door 3 times before going through it, etc is OCD. Not your stupid self-obsessiveness.
@@larryvelezbx @elesjuan Why would someone with bad clinical OCD be offended by the people who claim to have a little OCD? Just because there is a much worse version of something doesn't mean everyone who claims to have the small version is being offensive. Its okay to say you're depressed if you're a little down in the dumps but don't have deep clinical depression and suicidal tendencies. It's okay to say you're sick if you have a cold and not terminal cancer.
@@rolfthewolf42 Because that isn't the definition of OCD. Sure, it is ok to say your sick even if you don't have terminal cancer, _but it is not ok to say you have terminal cancer if you don't have terminal cancer._ Being a neat freak is usually par for the course with people that suffer from OCD, but it is about the least of your concerns. Being a neat freak isn't ocd. There isn't really such a thing as mild OCD, you either have it or you don't. And chances are, if you are not actually *debilitated* about which order the light switches get flipped in, _you don't have OCD._ If you can put your shoes on when the rug in front of the door isnt lined up exactly like it was yesterday, you don't OCD. If you _physically_ can force yourself to take a shower even though you will have an odd number of showers this month, you don't have OCD. OCD is when you can't physically do anything else until you correct the fact that there are 7 pens instead of 8 in your pen holder. You can't talk, you can't listen, you can't focus on anything until the problem is fixed. You will go without food, without water, without the bathroom, and at great personal harm to yourself, just to fix the number of pens. And nobody with OCD gives a fuck if you call your anal retentive behaviors OCD, even when it isn't. They usually have much bigger problems than some dumb fuck on the internet sounding like, well, a dumb fuck.
Larry Velez..Well said, Larry. I read comments and hear people throw around the term OCD so often these days and it’s disturbing. You can always tell these people apart from actual suffers by the way they flippantly say they have OCD. Rarely do OCD suffers disclose it unless a situation dictates it. The OCD “posers” also usually don’t know what the “C” stands for and when you ask them what their compulsive behaviors are, they stare at you like a deer in headlights. Granted some people just have the primary obsessive component, but if they did they still would know the difference between the two.
OCD is a bad illness. I feel sorry for that guy... You should buy one more and put it in the garage just to watch it FFS... These cars need to be driven like you stole them and not washing them 0-24 and have some psychological problems if you don't clean them...
Pro tip: I live in Central FL. I wrap the entire front of my car in saran wrap and secure it in the fender liner with a little tape, before heading to a show. No joke. And then just pull off all the wrap when I get there. Love bug/mosquito free car. I see alot of similarities between this guy and myself when it comes to cleaning cars. But I learned this trick from a friend who has since passed.
This is what Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is really like. It's not the "Oh, hey, that damn picture isn't straight again." anal retentive a lot of people call OCD. It's knowing that there is something wrong in the world, knowing that you could never fix that, but feeling compelled to fix it regardless, and spending much of your time obsessing over the issue and trying to correct said issue far beyond what would be reasonable to the detriment of one's life and happiness. He thinks his car is dirty far past the point that most of us would say, "Dude, stop! It's clean." and is compelled to wash that car until he thinks it's clean to his standards. BTW, OCD isn't restricted to cleaning. It's just the easiest thing to point to as an example and have people understand it.
Needs to get a petition going in the township for better insect control. Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, etc will choke you with insects. Naples does a great job keeping insects at bay. And yes, you may be OCD when it comes to cleanliness. But Love Bugs will take off paint if they aren’t removed immediately. And that’s an extremely expensive possession.
Ask yourself this. Do you think she’d put up with this pudgy weirdo if she didn’t love the spending money? I have a hunch if he worked at a hardware store he would be would be polishing his Kia alone in the tool shed.
Brass Body considering addy makes a normal person act like they have ocd. I think it’s worse. In my experience cocaine it just wakes you up and makes you want to fight people.
I actually have OCD, unlike those that say they do and don’t because it has become a catchphrase to say because you like things just so..and because of this he would store his vehicles like I do living in New England. It’s a no brainer. OCD infiltrates every part of your everyday living, your clothes, cars, house, personal regimes/care etc. A living hell EVERY DAY. I feel for this guy because it’s physically and mentally exhausting.
Should I watch this or should I watch another video? What if that video is worse than this one? Then not only will I never get that time back but then I'll get fingerprints on my remote. Plus I'll drain the batteries in the remote even more. The batteries that already came in the remote prepackaged. How do I know where those batteries have been previously or what they were used for? They could have been used in someone's nose trimmers. I don't know.
I feel for him. I have OCD and generalized anxiety and it’s a hellish combination. You get anxious but then your ocd makes you unable to get over it even after whatever made you anxious is overwith. You start to over analyze things and replay memories with different perceptions and “what ifs” until you don’t know which memories are real and which are false. It can be really debilitating. For example, I work as a dishwasher and I can’t for the life of me keep up with my coworkers. They’ll fly through a sink of dishes and take a smoke break while I’m still washing mine, and I look like I’m the laziest while I’m actually working the hardest and with the fewest breaks, all the while being mentally tortured. I truly feel for this man and I hope he gets the help he needs. I can understand the need for the car to be clean. However, The problem is apparent when he talks about how it bothers him all week at work. That’s the kind of thing that happens to me. I’ll get one thing that bothers me and then it’s in the back of my head for a few weeks or months or whatever.
I think if Matt made a rule for himself like he is only allowed to wash the car on a certain day it might help him enjoy the car because he knows exactly when he can make the car perfect again
I get the same feeling as him, because i stay in Singapore. It rains for 15 mins, and the sun is out for the rest of the afternoon. if we only fixed a day to wash the car, he is probably worried about the contamination that was there since sunday, and only being able to wash it on a certain fixed day, say saturday. It will drive him and me nuts because the dirt/water has been sitting and etching into the paint for 6 days before we can clean it up again.
I do the same! I used to wash my car every 2-3 days. But because it just got too much for me, i desided for myself to rinse the car once every week (rinse for me is foam-highpressure wash without contact), and fully wash it once a month (foam, high pressure wash, contact wash, drying, ceramic coating protection, interior). I would do a full wash the day before a carshow also, but don’t fully (contact) wash the car again for a full month
And then I clean the gun in my glovebox; for the person that inevitably sideswipes me, tearing through 6 layers of protection, and leaving the car in need of buffing, painting, and layering again.
Matt has always inspired me when it comes to business, detailing cars, even buying and maintaining cars. If anyone hasn't seen his videos, check out some of his stuff. Subtle yet entertaining and informative. Merry Christmas guys!
@@richardmaggs3430 I don't think he wants that. For him it seems to come natural. He kinda sheds light on his day to day life and we can take what we can get from it
I used to be like this and I completely relate. What changed for me was moving from a home to an apartment and not having easy access to clean my car. It took a while to get used to the fact my cars won’t always be clean but I enjoy them so much more now and if the roads are damp, I live in Oregon so this is the usual road condition, I can go for a drive and not care there is a bit more dirt on the car. Also my grey ‘08 2S x51 hides the dirt pretty well. Love the white RS!
I had ocd as a child. I can kind of relate to this, but not today. I am not sure why.. but it completely vanished when I was about 13. So there’s hope man.
I enjoy following your obsessed garage channel and your anxiety does not come across on those videos. I honestly hope that your able to dial it back in time because it can become all consuming in your life. One thing that helped me look differently at my vehicles that i had to keep perfect was track days. They begin to look a little more like tools and less an image of perfection. Anyway love your content. Happy holidays.
I've seen claims that CBD oil is a miracle for anxiety but for me the process is just slower, I can get off the train of thought eaiser but that's about it. Alcohol does a better job at making a person not care but being drunk all of the time is a fast way to die. Haven't tried Xanax, it's apparently too easy to abuse.
Respect brother. It takes all your energy just dealing with what is crawling around inside our head, to get up in the morning to deal with it all over again. And then you go on one of the most popular and fasting growing car YT channels and open up about yourself like this? You'll get that full week man. You do you, brother.
I have customers like this in the bicycle business. When one guy comes in we were playing with him and wrapped his frame in protective foam and put it in a section with no other bikes near it. When he came in we thought he would say oh common I am not that ocd... But now every time he comes in he wants us to do that lol. Jokes on us
Man how I love to hear the VINwiki stories. Ok, I actually understand, to a degree, of where my fellow car enthusiast is coming from. I have struggled (to a very tiny extent and in no way comparable to this example ) with OCD my entire life. In my personal struggle, my OCD has made me financially free at one point, broke, and everywhere in between. Unlike the gentleman that feels sorry for you I do not, I congratulate you on taking a serious mental/emotional condition and finding a way to use it to your advantage and make a profit from it. Personally, if I did not have my own little struggle with OCD, I believe I would not be nearly as creative as it turns out that I am. OCD although at times have been a curse it also has been a blessing, giving me the drive to learn, advance, and conquer many of my accomplishments in life. You have a new subscriber and the name "Obsessed Garage" is genius !! I live only 3 1/2 hours north of you in the Panhandle near Panama City Beach. For years I was in Orlando quite often with one of my Dodge Vipers having them worked on or modified for more horsepower. (because you can never have too much HP) You may even know my Tuner and friend Larry Macedo who owned M2 motorsports. He has since moved his shop just Northeast of Orlando but, for many years his shop was located on the OBT of all places tucked away in a metal building, sitting back off the highway, and with a tiny little sign. Even though OBT was not commonplace to find millions of dollars of cars hiding out safely awaiting work to be performed from a simple oil change to a complete twin-turbo being fabricated and installed. You did not find his place by accident, you were sent there and they are great at the kind of work they do. Anyway, Matt keep up the good work and best wishes to you in controlling the OCD and not letting is destroy you. Last I will leave you with a really cool song by an Uber Famous singer's grandson. I am sure you will know who his grandfather was if you ever grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard! Check out Struggle Jennings - "The Struggle is Real" featuring Aaron Lewis from Shinedown...Each and every one of us has a "struggle" or multiple "struggles" with something in our lives, it is up to us to overcome them or be defeated by them. This song along with the artist singing it and his back story, kind of puts all of that into perspective.
Man get out of my head. He described perfectly the "do I wash... it's going to rain... or do I drive it dirty... I'll hate driving a dirty car" predicament.
"Redlined once or twice... (in 712 miles)" That is literally nothing. I know of some people that redline their Sis, 350Zs, and S2000s, several times a week and are way past 100k miles.
Holy shit just listening and imagining that process made me anxious. After hearing all that and how much of a struggle, emotional drain, and potential problems with family, it’s amazing to me that he finds a way to manage it all. I couldn’t imagine having that level of anxiety come up just from trying to enjoy something you love. Especially with something like a car where so much of it is out of your control. You can’t control the weather, bugs, other drivers etc. That’s just wild. I’ve seen a few of his videos but I never knew that he dealt with all that. Really makes you wonder how he manages to go out and let other people drive his cars, not knowing what they might do to it. Wow.
I picked my nose and stuck my finger outside to let the wind take the booger away for the first 1.5 years of owning my car. I've owned my car for 1.5 years.
If Larry of AMMO and this Obsessed teamed up they wouldn’t finish a detail. They’d just have an Auto Detail science show, they could actually balance each other’s own compulsiveness. Lol. Awesome! Great Content as always.
I'm feeling a little bit guilty that I have owned my 911 for almost two years and have never washed it. It probably has bits of tire on it from the track. I burned up the rest of the brakes on my last track day, so new rotors, pads, brake lines and fluids have a higher priority. Maybe a wash in the spring for it's second birthday...
I’ve not heard Matt go over his inner week to week struggles before on his channel. All detail enthusiasts want their car clean all the time but most wont worry so much about it getting dirty again as that’s inevitable. It also means it needs a good clean at the weekend which is the enjoyable bit!
I would like to say I can relate to him slightly. When it comes to driving cars, I am always very cautious of minimizing as much wear on the engine, brakes, transmission as possible. I don’t go past half way to redline until oil temperature (oil, not just coolant) are at optimum and even then I will count the amount of times I take the car past half way to redline. I never shift automatic transmissions into drive while still moving in reverse. When it comes to braking, I try to brake as soft as possible (while still being safe) and when exiting a highway at 70+ MPH I will hold the pedal for about 2 seconds then release to let the rotor cool a bit, then press again, and off again to minimize heat buildup even though brakes have cooling veins to handle that kind of thing. I do it anyway. While detailing my own cars, I do everything in my power to prevent swirl marks because after taking 5-10 hours to paint correct a car, I never want to do it again. I also work at my local Audi dealership where I am a porter and it pains me to see the wash methods practiced. I try to use two buckets whenever possible and never reuse a wash mitt or microfiber that has touched the ground. I let go a little more when washing loaner cars because they are not any specific person’s car, yet at least. But in conclusion, I definitely don’t enjoy cars the way some of my friends do! One of my friends has a Hyundai Veloster Turbo and floors the thing 10 seconds after starting it in 5 degree weather!
Vasovagal syncope is not OCD. Being so great at detailing you would think he would work on his gt3rs himself instead of shipping it across country and having a different shop “dial it in”?
You have to appreciate the sacrifice this guy makes so that there is at least one absolutely pristine example of these cars in the world. I know its pretty much involuntary for him but there are only so many of these cars made and once they've all been dirtied and cleaned by people who font take the care he does there wont be any original factory fresh models like this. I hope one day he finds it in himself to enjoy the fruits of his labour the same as everybody else does.
Glad to see that there are more people like me out in the world. Watching this while cleaning my kitchen. I can see my car from the kitchen it’s nicely washed and generally stays clean for a few days here in Southern California. Merry Christmas.
I admire this guy he is very intelligent, he definitely picked the right name for his RUclips Channel Obsessed Garage. I am sure he enjoys the car a little, but I have had my days of OCD with cars too, I am OCD on maintenance.
I think I am among a few people that relate so hard with this guy. I don't have OCD, but I seriously do get uncomfortable if my car is dirty for more than a week. The whole correct washing procedure is so true too. Nice to see he has AMMO stuff too!
Wow. This guy is next level OCD. I bet he drives his wife nuts with all his "quirks". But on a side note i would love to buy a car from him. You know it has been maintained flawlessly. It would be better than new.
This isn't "next level" OCD. This IS OCD. What you hear your friends jokingly refer to as OCD is just being anal. behavenet.com/diagnostic-criteria-3014-obsessive-compulsive-personality-disorder
scottcol23 OCD isn’t quirks. It’s a mental disorder that is physically and mentally exhausting to live with, it infiltrates most if not every part of your every day living. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that this is just about obsessive auto detailing.
I remember you and your Civic Si from back in the day. Pretty sure I ran into you a few times on the Main Line. Car was clean back then. I guess nothing has changed.
I started down this path myself. Finally got my dream car, a couple months later my obsession was taking over my life. I put it up for sale. 6 days later I took it down, decided if I ever behaved that way again I would never allow myself something like this again. That was 6 months ago. So far, so good. The people in my life have always been more important than an object I have and I plan on keeping it that way. My CTS-v coupe is just a thing that I enjoy.
I drive EVERY car I owed like I stole them! best times! if it breaks fix it, if it scratches its a good story how you did it....must suck to be like this dude!
Me too. I can't even relate to this guy. I love when it rains. Means I might not have to wash it so soon. As far as deep cleans, once in almost 8 years is my current record. I'm a bit more like Ed. Pressure wash and drive fast for a bit is very acceptable.
He’s the guy I’d love to buy a car from... he’d shit his pants seeing the car a month later covered in brake dust, bugs, and women’s tit-prints on the hood.
r324ever so crying on video and putting all your business out there instead of just not worrying about it, he pretty much invited anybody with a problem to ruin him everyday
It’s incredible how he doesn’t mess with his interior much. I get insane when the glass has prints on the inside windows, dust and pebbles on the carpet.
If you want to be an ass, just send him an email two weeks later telling him that you've hidden a dirty gym sock somewhere in his car. You don't even have to leave one.
I'd buy any car he sells, sight unseen. Wire transfer, ship, get in, drive away.
Agreed
Yup

In the case of this car, it would have been redlined before the engine break in period was over which is no good.
@@sbvikings30 true , aren't there some performance cars that come broken in from factory?
@@Wabeeninc I belive lambo engins are broken in from the factory. (probably spelt something wrong)
As someone with OCD, the best decision I ever made was getting black out drunk, and learning to live without lists/rules for a week.
Constantly wanting to be in control is tiring and just not a way to live.
Exactly, could you imagine having a wonderful life where you can afford any car you want, and then still being unhappy because that supercar has 700 miles on it and that it might have a soec of dirt on it so now youre whole life is spiraling out of control, when in reality nobody actually cares how clean his car is
Shout out to this channel for improving mental health awareness 😂😂
Matt has spoken at other times about how debilitating these cycles of panic and irrational fear can be. I wish this video had touched on how offensive it could be to people who truly suffer from compulsive behaviors when they hear so many others claim that their neatness tendencies are "OCD". They likely don't understand the negative effect on life that people who are clinically suffering from compulsive behaviors have to deal with.
@@larryvelezbx I'm REALLY tired of hearing people claim they have OCD because something in their life has to be neat or "just right." To those who claim this; You DO NOT have OCD, and you need to stop pretending like you do. Thinking you have to line pictures on your wall with a laser level is not OCD. Having to wash your hands every 2 minutes, open a door 3 times before going through it, etc is OCD. Not your stupid self-obsessiveness.
@@larryvelezbx @elesjuan Why would someone with bad clinical OCD be offended by the people who claim to have a little OCD? Just because there is a much worse version of something doesn't mean everyone who claims to have the small version is being offensive. Its okay to say you're depressed if you're a little down in the dumps but don't have deep clinical depression and suicidal tendencies. It's okay to say you're sick if you have a cold and not terminal cancer.
@@rolfthewolf42 Because that isn't the definition of OCD. Sure, it is ok to say your sick even if you don't have terminal cancer, _but it is not ok to say you have terminal cancer if you don't have terminal cancer._
Being a neat freak is usually par for the course with people that suffer from OCD, but it is about the least of your concerns. Being a neat freak isn't ocd. There isn't really such a thing as mild OCD, you either have it or you don't. And chances are, if you are not actually *debilitated* about which order the light switches get flipped in, _you don't have OCD._ If you can put your shoes on when the rug in front of the door isnt lined up exactly like it was yesterday, you don't OCD.
If you _physically_ can force yourself to take a shower even though you will have an odd number of showers this month, you don't have OCD.
OCD is when you can't physically do anything else until you correct the fact that there are 7 pens instead of 8 in your pen holder. You can't talk, you can't listen, you can't focus on anything until the problem is fixed. You will go without food, without water, without the bathroom, and at great personal harm to yourself, just to fix the number of pens.
And nobody with OCD gives a fuck if you call your anal retentive behaviors OCD, even when it isn't. They usually have much bigger problems than some dumb fuck on the internet sounding like, well, a dumb fuck.
Larry Velez..Well said, Larry. I read comments and hear people throw around the term OCD so often these days and it’s disturbing. You can always tell these people apart from actual suffers by the way they flippantly say they have OCD. Rarely do OCD suffers disclose it unless a situation dictates it. The OCD “posers” also usually don’t know what the “C” stands for and when you ask them what their compulsive behaviors are, they stare at you like a deer in headlights. Granted some people just have the primary obsessive component, but if they did they still would know the difference between the two.
OCD is a bad illness. I feel sorry for that guy... You should buy one more and put it in the garage just to watch it FFS... These cars need to be driven like you stole them and not washing them 0-24 and have some psychological problems if you don't clean them...
Pro tip: I live in Central FL. I wrap the entire front of my car in saran wrap and secure it in the fender liner with a little tape, before heading to a show. No joke. And then just pull off all the wrap when I get there. Love bug/mosquito free car. I see alot of similarities between this guy and myself when it comes to cleaning cars. But I learned this trick from a friend who has since passed.
i almost called you a loon.....but then I remembered how many bugs are in FL and I totally feel ya hahaha.
I've done that for years
It doesn't seem weird pulling up to the meet or driving to it with Saran wrap on?
@@bryanlettow4389 yeah a little bit then you pull it off. I've even seen blue painters tape front end
Can we start on OCDwiki so we can be ready whenever these guys want to sell there cars?
Jesus, this guy is going through hell everyday. I feel for him.
This is what Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is really like. It's not the "Oh, hey, that damn picture isn't straight again." anal retentive a lot of people call OCD. It's knowing that there is something wrong in the world, knowing that you could never fix that, but feeling compelled to fix it regardless, and spending much of your time obsessing over the issue and trying to correct said issue far beyond what would be reasonable to the detriment of one's life and happiness. He thinks his car is dirty far past the point that most of us would say, "Dude, stop! It's clean." and is compelled to wash that car until he thinks it's clean to his standards.
BTW, OCD isn't restricted to cleaning. It's just the easiest thing to point to as an example and have people understand it.
I want this guy to wash my car, just once.. I'll then be set for life..
i prefer eds view on washing cars...just pull out the power washer and lets go lol
Arnold Navarro 😂😂😂😂😂
Take a shot everytime he mentions washing his car.
Alec Stone call for help
Or every time he says raw
This is stressful just to watch. Glad you cut out the last hour of this.
Needs to get a petition going in the township for better insect control. Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, etc will choke you with insects. Naples does a great job keeping insects at bay.
And yes, you may be OCD when it comes to cleanliness. But Love Bugs will take off paint if they aren’t removed immediately. And that’s an extremely expensive possession.
Matt’s wife is the real hero. I think most married men with kids can’t find 10 mins to wash the car/truck.
100% truth
Ask yourself this. Do you think she’d put up with this pudgy weirdo if she didn’t love the spending money? I have a hunch if he worked at a hardware store he would be would be polishing his Kia alone in the tool shed.
I keep picturing him yelling "it puts the lotion on it's skin" to a 911 at the bottom of
a pit lined with garage tiles.
🤣🤣🤣
Ok I would never reccomend this man dabble in cocaine even once.
But it would be funny as hell to watch.
Addy would probably be worse for him
@@markdahshark3694 no, im pretty sure cocaine would be much worse in fact
@@markdahshark3694 ^^
Brass Body considering addy makes a normal person act like they have ocd. I think it’s worse. In my experience cocaine it just wakes you up and makes you want to fight people.
Girlfriend: Did you bring protection?
Matt: 0:00
There's no way he could ever live in a cold state where it snows and they put salt on the roads.
StrangeClouds come to Canada!
I actually have OCD, unlike those that say they do and don’t because it has become a catchphrase to say because you like things just so..and because of this he would store his vehicles like I do living in New England. It’s a no brainer. OCD infiltrates every part of your everyday living, your clothes, cars, house, personal regimes/care etc. A living hell EVERY DAY. I feel for this guy because it’s physically and mentally exhausting.
He lived in PA before he moved to Orlando.
Should I watch this or should I watch another video? What if that video is worse than this one? Then not only will I never get that time back but then I'll get fingerprints on my remote. Plus I'll drain the batteries in the remote even more. The batteries that already came in the remote prepackaged. How do I know where those batteries have been previously or what they were used for? They could have been used in someone's nose trimmers. I don't know.
Lol
Chuck from Better Call Saul, is that you?

Underated comment
Damn bro
Ur cool
Nice comment fam
Bro you ok?
Someone needs to break it to this guy that his cars aren't capable of loving him back :(
Your not a car guy then. Lol.
Yes they are, shut your mouth.
This guy should try hard alcohol. That should help
I feel for him. I have OCD and generalized anxiety and it’s a hellish combination. You get anxious but then your ocd makes you unable to get over it even after whatever made you anxious is overwith. You start to over analyze things and replay memories with different perceptions and “what ifs” until you don’t know which memories are real and which are false. It can be really debilitating. For example, I work as a dishwasher and I can’t for the life of me keep up with my coworkers. They’ll fly through a sink of dishes and take a smoke break while I’m still washing mine, and I look like I’m the laziest while I’m actually working the hardest and with the fewest breaks, all the while being mentally tortured.
I truly feel for this man and I hope he gets the help he needs. I can understand the need for the car to be clean. However, The problem is apparent when he talks about how it bothers him all week at work. That’s the kind of thing that happens to me. I’ll get one thing that bothers me and then it’s in the back of my head for a few weeks or months or whatever.
I think if Matt made a rule for himself like he is only allowed to wash the car on a certain day it might help him enjoy the car because he knows exactly when he can make the car perfect again
No. Sadly, I think the only way he'll get true happiness from owning this car is to seek a therapist to work on his OCD.
He won't, trust me. He'll just constantly think of it and obsess until he loses sleep and becomes depressed. Ask me how I know.
I get the same feeling as him, because i stay in Singapore. It rains for 15 mins, and the sun is out for the rest of the afternoon. if we only fixed a day to wash the car, he is probably worried about the contamination that was there since sunday, and only being able to wash it on a certain fixed day, say saturday. It will drive him and me nuts because the dirt/water has been sitting and etching into the paint for 6 days before we can clean it up again.
He would notice that it gets less and less perfect every time he makes it perfect again. It would drive him insane.
I do the same! I used to wash my car every 2-3 days. But because it just got too much for me, i desided for myself to rinse the car once every week (rinse for me is foam-highpressure wash without contact), and fully wash it once a month (foam, high pressure wash, contact wash, drying, ceramic coating protection, interior). I would do a full wash the day before a carshow also, but don’t fully (contact) wash the car again for a full month
And then I clean the gun in my glovebox; for the person that inevitably sideswipes me, tearing through 6 layers of protection, and leaving the car in need of buffing, painting, and layering again.
Matt has always inspired me when it comes to business, detailing cars, even buying and maintaining cars. If anyone hasn't seen his videos, check out some of his stuff. Subtle yet entertaining and informative. Merry Christmas guys!
If he could teach how to be that detailed and meticulous about cleaning high end cars, he could have a great detail shop!
@@richardmaggs3430 I don't think he wants that. For him it seems to come natural. He kinda sheds light on his day to day life and we can take what we can get from it
You are like the Justin Y. of the the car channels lol, I see you everywhere on em.
@@borginator1493 wassup bro! Merry Christmas
Richard Maggs the methods and process he mimics are taught at the elite detailer academy at Esoteric.
I used to be like this and I completely relate. What changed for me was moving from a home to an apartment and not having easy access to clean my car. It took a while to get used to the fact my cars won’t always be clean but I enjoy them so much more now and if the roads are damp, I live in Oregon so this is the usual road condition, I can go for a drive and not care there is a bit more dirt on the car. Also my grey ‘08 2S x51 hides the dirt pretty well. Love the white RS!
I had ocd as a child. I can kind of relate to this, but not today. I am not sure why.. but it completely vanished when I was about 13. So there’s hope man.
I enjoy following your obsessed garage channel and your anxiety does not come across on those videos. I honestly hope that your able to dial it back in time because it can become all consuming in your life. One thing that helped me look differently at my vehicles that i had to keep perfect was track days. They begin to look a little more like tools and less an image of perfection. Anyway love your content. Happy holidays.
Maybe there is a special oil you can put in your supercar to help it fight its OCD.
I've seen claims that CBD oil is a miracle for anxiety but for me the process is just slower, I can get off the train of thought eaiser but that's about it. Alcohol does a better job at making a person not care but being drunk all of the time is a fast way to die. Haven't tried Xanax, it's apparently too easy to abuse.
No name even when it isn’t abused, you build up a tolerance, and going back down is a nightmare.
Respect brother. It takes all your energy just dealing with what is crawling around inside our head, to get up in the morning to deal with it all over again.
And then you go on one of the most popular and fasting growing car YT channels and open up about yourself like this? You'll get that full week man. You do you, brother.
I have customers like this in the bicycle business. When one guy comes in we were playing with him and wrapped his frame in protective foam and put it in a section with no other bikes near it. When he came in we thought he would say oh common I am not that ocd... But now every time he comes in he wants us to do that lol. Jokes on us
That's what you call a back fire!
Look at it this way: you now have a loyal customer that won't go anywhere else.
This is the funniest comment on this video.
Man how I love to hear the VINwiki stories. Ok, I actually understand, to a degree, of where my fellow car enthusiast is coming from. I have struggled (to a very tiny extent and in no way comparable to this example ) with OCD my entire life. In my personal struggle, my OCD has made me financially free at one point, broke, and everywhere in between. Unlike the gentleman that feels sorry for you I do not, I congratulate you on taking a serious mental/emotional condition and finding a way to use it to your advantage and make a profit from it. Personally, if I did not have my own little struggle with OCD, I believe I would not be nearly as creative as it turns out that I am. OCD although at times have been a curse it also has been a blessing, giving me the drive to learn, advance, and conquer many of my accomplishments in life. You have a new subscriber and the name "Obsessed Garage" is genius !! I live only 3 1/2 hours north of you in the Panhandle near Panama City Beach. For years I was in Orlando quite often with one of my Dodge Vipers having them worked on or modified for more horsepower. (because you can never have too much HP) You may even know my Tuner and friend Larry Macedo who owned M2 motorsports. He has since moved his shop just Northeast of Orlando but, for many years his shop was located on the OBT of all places tucked away in a metal building, sitting back off the highway, and with a tiny little sign. Even though OBT was not commonplace to find millions of dollars of cars hiding out safely awaiting work to be performed from a simple oil change to a complete twin-turbo being fabricated and installed. You did not find his place by accident, you were sent there and they are great at the kind of work they do. Anyway, Matt keep up the good work and best wishes to you in controlling the OCD and not letting is destroy you. Last I will leave you with a really cool song by an Uber Famous singer's grandson. I am sure you will know who his grandfather was if you ever grew up watching the Dukes of Hazzard! Check out Struggle Jennings - "The Struggle is Real" featuring Aaron Lewis from Shinedown...Each and every one of us has a "struggle" or multiple "struggles" with something in our lives, it is up to us to overcome them or be defeated by them. This song along with the artist singing it and his back story, kind of puts all of that into perspective.
Man get out of my head. He described perfectly the "do I wash... it's going to rain... or do I drive it dirty... I'll hate driving a dirty car" predicament.
The sad part is whenever he drives the car on public roads there’s always that chance his car will get hit or scratched by other drivers.
Merry CHRISTmas!!! My blood pressure is now up 20 points after watching this one (was awesome and worth it though)! Hahaha
Happy HOLidays!1!
"Redlined once or twice... (in 712 miles)" That is literally nothing. I know of some people that redline their Sis, 350Zs, and S2000s, several times a week and are way past 100k miles.
But your an idiot to not realize the engine isn't broken in till about 2000 miles so even going past half pedal can total your engine. 👍😂
Redlining during break-in period is a no-no.
You know, I thought my mom was crazy for putting plastic on the furniture. This is a whole other level.
Gary Weiner it’s not the same.
Holy shit just listening and imagining that process made me anxious. After hearing all that and how much of a struggle, emotional drain, and potential problems with family, it’s amazing to me that he finds a way to manage it all. I couldn’t imagine having that level of anxiety come up just from trying to enjoy something you love. Especially with something like a car where so much of it is out of your control. You can’t control the weather, bugs, other drivers etc. That’s just wild. I’ve seen a few of his videos but I never knew that he dealt with all that. Really makes you wonder how he manages to go out and let other people drive his cars, not knowing what they might do to it. Wow.
Think of all the booger’s that are now deep in the carpet now you have to replace the carpet
You're a cruel person.
I picked my nose and stuck my finger outside to let the wind take the booger away for the first 1.5 years of owning my car. I've owned my car for 1.5 years.
LMFAO!
If Larry of AMMO and this Obsessed teamed up they wouldn’t finish a detail. They’d just have an Auto Detail science show, they could actually balance each other’s own compulsiveness. Lol. Awesome! Great Content as always.
Prepping 2.5hrs the night before turned into prepping the entire Saturday which turned into 2 days of prepping. lolwut.
I'm feeling a little bit guilty that I have owned my 911 for almost two years and have never washed it. It probably has bits of tire on it from the track. I burned up the rest of the brakes on my last track day, so new rotors, pads, brake lines and fluids have a higher priority. Maybe a wash in the spring for it's second birthday...
The things we own end up owning us.
D E E P
"I'm 15 and this is deep"
Why I don’t like owning luxury cars even if I could afford it. One noticeable bump that you don’t want to fix and it loses value
I’ve not heard Matt go over his inner week to week struggles before on his channel. All detail enthusiasts want their car clean all the time but most wont worry so much about it getting dirty again as that’s inevitable. It also means it needs a good clean at the weekend which is the enjoyable bit!
I’ve never heard of a car with OCD.
I would 100% pay this dude to maintain my 18 TTRS in a heartbeat.
I hope he gives his wife that much attention
Hope she was a virgin when he met her.
@@littlerhino2006 why 🤣🤣🤣
I think the real question is, does his wife give him much attention with DSM ICD-10 crazy a$$. lol
What lol...why does that matter out of all things? Let me guess u wanna be next in line?
Dude: chill, your GT3RS looks beautiful
I'm exhausted from watching this poor dude.
Merry Christmas everyone!
I would like to say I can relate to him slightly. When it comes to driving cars, I am always very cautious of minimizing as much wear on the engine, brakes, transmission as possible. I don’t go past half way to redline until oil temperature (oil, not just coolant) are at optimum and even then I will count the amount of times I take the car past half way to redline. I never shift automatic transmissions into drive while still moving in reverse. When it comes to braking, I try to brake as soft as possible (while still being safe) and when exiting a highway at 70+ MPH I will hold the pedal for about 2 seconds then release to let the rotor cool a bit, then press again, and off again to minimize heat buildup even though brakes have cooling veins to handle that kind of thing. I do it anyway. While detailing my own cars, I do everything in my power to prevent swirl marks because after taking 5-10 hours to paint correct a car, I never want to do it again. I also work at my local Audi dealership where I am a porter and it pains me to see the wash methods practiced. I try to use two buckets whenever possible and never reuse a wash mitt or microfiber that has touched the ground. I let go a little more when washing loaner cars because they are not any specific person’s car, yet at least. But in conclusion, I definitely don’t enjoy cars the way some of my friends do! One of my friends has a Hyundai Veloster Turbo and floors the thing 10 seconds after starting it in 5 degree weather!
i wash my car twice a year. i park it under the sun and rain and i think it dosent look dirty at all
Thanks for opening up & sharing this Matt! It’s really interesting to hear every little thought and get a true sense for the mind of an OCD detailer.
Vasovagal syncope is not OCD. Being so great at detailing you would think he would work on his gt3rs himself instead of shipping it across country and having a different shop “dial it in”?
When he says the car gets “trashed” I’m sure it’s still cleaner that 99% of other cars immediately after a wash.
Completely agree about not letting a dealer touch my cars. As a detailer I make it very clear to not even wash them.
I would definitely purchase a vehicle from him!
this
a car without any stories to come with it
You have to appreciate the sacrifice this guy makes so that there is at least one absolutely pristine example of these cars in the world.
I know its pretty much involuntary for him but there are only so many of these cars made and once they've all been dirtied and cleaned by people who font take the care he does there wont be any original factory fresh models like this.
I hope one day he finds it in himself to enjoy the fruits of his labour the same as everybody else does.
I’m cringing just listening to how his brain works. I wouldn’t own a car if that was my thought process. 😂🏎🔥🏎🔥🔥🔥🔥
IAN OLMO you should hear him talk to his kids on his channel, he’s a complete ass.
Wow that’s not cool.
His kids will have a Strong dislike
For him one day.
Glad to see that there are more people like me out in the world. Watching this while cleaning my kitchen. I can see my car from the kitchen it’s nicely washed and generally stays clean for a few days here in Southern California. Merry Christmas.
thats my car ownership in a nutshell
They all don't give a shit.
Sorry your life is such a drag
I admire this guy he is very intelligent, he definitely picked the right name for his RUclips Channel Obsessed Garage. I am sure he enjoys the car a little, but I have had my days of OCD with cars too, I am OCD on maintenance.
Merry Christmas Eve, VinWiki!
I think I am among a few people that relate so hard with this guy.
I don't have OCD, but I seriously do get uncomfortable if my car is dirty for more than a week. The whole correct washing procedure is so true too. Nice to see he has AMMO stuff too!
Wow. This guy is next level OCD. I bet he drives his wife nuts with all his "quirks". But on a side note i would love to buy a car from him. You know it has been maintained flawlessly. It would be better than new.
This isn't "next level" OCD. This IS OCD. What you hear your friends jokingly refer to as OCD is just being anal.
behavenet.com/diagnostic-criteria-3014-obsessive-compulsive-personality-disorder
scottcol23 OCD isn’t quirks. It’s a mental disorder that is physically and mentally exhausting to live with, it infiltrates most if not every part of your every day living. Don’t fool yourself into thinking that this is just about obsessive auto detailing.
I remember you and your Civic Si from back in the day. Pretty sure I ran into you a few times on the Main Line. Car was clean back then. I guess nothing has changed.
*reads title* “damn bro your car has OCD?” Lol
Merry Christmas everyone!!
Rspence396 merry Christmas, have a good one!
I started down this path myself. Finally got my dream car, a couple months later my obsession was taking over my life. I put it up for sale. 6 days later I took it down, decided if I ever behaved that way again I would never allow myself something like this again. That was 6 months ago. So far, so good. The people in my life have always been more important than an object I have and I plan on keeping it that way. My CTS-v coupe is just a thing that I enjoy.
If he ever plan to sell his gt3 rs, then boi oh boi i would happily buy it because i know he's taken good care of it
I drive EVERY car I owed like I stole them! best times! if it breaks fix it, if it scratches its a good story how you did it....must suck to be like this dude!
Dumpster Marcus 🙏 amen broo
I do that too. But I also give it a deep clean every week or two, perfect balance
Me too. I can't even relate to this guy. I love when it rains. Means I might not have to wash it so soon. As far as deep cleans, once in almost 8 years is my current record. I'm a bit more like Ed. Pressure wash and drive fast for a bit is very acceptable.
You are the reason he buys new cars.
He’s the guy I’d love to buy a car from... he’d shit his pants seeing the car a month later covered in brake dust, bugs, and women’s tit-prints on the hood.
sean peterson u had me at the tit prints on the hood
I won't, sound like annoying to deal with.
ruining his life over how clean your exotic car is. super sad really, im more of a DDE kinda guy...
r324ever so crying on video and putting all your business out there instead of just not worrying about it, he pretty much invited anybody with a problem to ruin him everyday
i gotta meet this dudes wife
Probably saving her virginity for the next guy lol, keeping it prestine.
It’s incredible how he doesn’t mess with his interior much. I get insane when the glass has prints on the inside windows, dust and pebbles on the carpet.
To be honest if I was the lowest person on the dealership I would have some fun in the car before someone bought it.
If you want to be an ass, just send him an email two weeks later telling him that you've hidden a dirty gym sock somewhere in his car. You don't even have to leave one.
This guys probably a blast at parties...
