I just cleaned out my car...I feel so much better now
The outside is still filthy but the inside looks wonderful. It wasn't really dirty before but there were a bunch of dried up leaves all over the carpet and it was driving me mad...so I whipped out the car vac, picked up some empty gum wrappers and got rid of some excess junk in my trunk...my actual car trunk...lol. Right now all that remains in my car is a few CD's, registration..etc, some service papers, and a cell phone charger. and in the trunk...an old jacket, a sleeping bag (hey you never know if you will need one), the car vacuum, an ice scraper and an old text book that I don't want anymore but cant bear to throw away.

I must say the inside looks professionally detailed so now at some point this week I have to break down and get my cheap ass to the car wash and make the outside look nice too.

What does the inside of your car look like now...are you anally retentive like me or should I be afraid...very afraid?

2. that's good to hear
My college roommate was the exact opposite of me in just about every way...especially her car. We went out last week and she told me that she cleaned her car just for me, so when I opened the door I was surprised to see crap everywhere still...I called her out on it and her reply was be thankful I have a place to sit...oy!

3. It's very clean for me right now.
There's just a few gum wrappers, 1 or two water bottles and some foil & cellophane from cigarettes. I do desperately need to dump the ash tray though.

I will never wash the outside of my Jeep. It has a fucked-up grill from a deer running into it, a couple random little dents, and a rusty gash from a dickwad family member throwing a rock into it. Basically, I don't give a fuck what the outside looks like.

4. My car is always tidy. I hate having unneeded shit and clutter in the car.
And I wash it every week.

I wish I was as effective at keeping my home as clean as my car, but I come close...

6. My car is very tidy
I never used to really care but I now have a new car and find I like keeping it clean, inside and out. I have stuff in it (I never know when I might just take off and drive a couple of thousand miles so I keep road atlases, emergency supplies, etc. in the car) but it's all arranged neatly.

8. Nearly spotless...
although my car's only 2 months old...

The outside of the car, on the other hand...not good!

Los Angeles road grime + Freak 5 minute rain shower + silver paint = nasty dirty black streaks ALL over

9. Mine is still a pig sty from college...
My backseat is used as storage for outerwear it seems. My goal is to clean it out, vacuum, etc, before the vacation is over.
