Obsession......
« on: 22 May 2009, 10:21 »
So, time to be honest.
What do you guys do that borders sadness......

Some example....

1. I have a habit of wiping off any carbon from my exhausts.........every time I have driven the car!
2. I lift the kids up and into the car, so they dont put their feet on the bottom of the door sils.....

I HAVE to have a clean windscreen. Even a fly splat sends the windscreen wipers and washers into a giddy fit. I must go though half the UK stock of screenwash on my own. :embarassed:

I try never to use rear wiper. I prefer "battle dirt" on the back window, which makes it even less see-through.
Also, I very seldom clean my car from outside (on inside it is clean). Again, I justify this behavior by calling dirt - "battle dirt".  :lipsrsealed:

I'm the same with the screen! I will be squinting till I am blind until I wash that windscreen!

Car has to be clean 24/7, even if its dusty it will get a clean.
