...brake dust, and bird crap and pollen are your number 1 enemy
...you make sure it smells of vanilla extract inside and be sure to have at least 2 air freshners

Ha! That'* got me pegged! Look out the window every night and morning to see my car.
Right now cottonwood seed is my #1 enemy. And I prefer the smell of strawberry over vanilla.

Pretty accurate! No one will ever drive my car besides me. And I brush my rims all the time (because they're the crosslace and a PITA to clean! )
You should add:
When you drive somewhere, and every time you park and walk away, you look back at your car 3 to 4 times and say to yourself, "that'* a nice car!!..."
I'm guilty of that on several occasions!

You know you love your car when:
It has a 3 inch rust hole in the back wheel well and you would still never consider getting rid of it.
When you park half a mile away from a store to avoid people banging their doors on it.
When every roll of film you get developed is just pictures of your car. (That'* me for sure)
When you bang your feet together to get any dirt off your shoes before getting in your car.
And MY favorite:
When you disassemble the shifter head just to paint the button gold (I just did that an hour ago)

another to add to the list..
You're idea of a good time on weekends is spending quality time ( washin and waxing or whatever else ) with your car
When you look at all the other cars and know you're car is better and different from the other cars ( even the same year and color )
When you no lil quirks, trades, personality of your car down to shift feel
When you can tell your car apart from cars that looks identical to yours parked around you ( without the keyless that is )

All of these apply to me, and I can add:
you talk about the car all the time to people who don't care
you talk to the car
you occasionally pet it (so it will feel loved I guess :P )
you feel a little like you're cheating when you're in someone else'* car
