What's Your Most Anal-Retentive Automotive Quirk?
#136
I hate seeing stuff hanging from people rearview mirrors! Especially cd's. My wife does this and I absolutely hate it. She's getting better though, now it's just the two baby's shoes hanging there. Not to mention that it's illegal. Have this problem with her key chain too, you can't carry them in your pocket confortably
I hate seeing people park in two spaces, makes we want to scratch the ***** right out of it. I don't care too much about you **** sob's that park like that in BFE, but do it up front and it's on like donkey kong.
Also, I dont' want to smell your *** well after you've removed it from my seat!

I've been told on many occassions that I have OCD when it comes to my trucks. Here goes:
All A/C ***** straight up and down if not in use
All A/C vents closed and straight up and down if not in use
Don't touch anything!
Leaning on the sides or dropping tailgate to sit
No eating in the truck
Fill up gas tank everyfill up and reset trip meter
Cigarette light straight across
If it doesn't have a purpose in the running of the truck, it doesn't belong
No pets
I also can't stand when I'm detailing my truck and people ask if I'm gonna do theirs next. I hate that. I'm also a fan of parking far away from everyone else. I just hate when your parked at the far end of a lot and some moron parks next to you. I guess thats it.

Ok i'll bite,
1. the arm rests one the seats must be put back up before you get out
2. the vents in the center console must be pointed straight to the back of the vehicle
3. Windows, don't touch them!
4. dust on the dash or controls, if I see it, it must be wiped off!
5. greasey finger prints on the edge of the door, do not close the door anywhere it is painted, use the handle on the door

Whenever I was out in the driveway washing a car, there was one old fart who lived across the street that would ask if his car was next. One day, I replied "The lady that lives here lets me sleep with her if I do a good job-what's your offer?"
...he never bothered asking again.

I read 80 posts so far, and have to get to another class.
I do the ac vent thing, the fartest one from me is always closed,
im guily of the cigarette lighter picture alignment
I have in the past shinned the spare
when i had stock exaust i used to clean inside and outside the tip (made the truck look newer)
Seatbelts need to be all the way up inside, and the actual clip as far down as possible
I am just now doing the window thing, since the back doesnt go all the way down, the front shouldnt either (im jealous of the Tundra with the power back window that slides down into the cab)
Have always gauged when to wash my truck based on the brake dust on the front wheels
Thats enough for now,
Ok, im also guilty on having to have the key ring hole in the key at the bottom of the ignition,
No twists in the seatbelts either in use, or stored,
My center seatbelt up front, must be neatly rolled up and out of sight,
Center console must be down for my arm to rest on,
And i always take my shoes off when i drive, both so i dont grind more dirt into the carpet, but alos because im 6'6" and wear 13's so my shoe will hang up on the underside of the dash, makeing it hard to move from gas to brake, and back

Trash in my bed. My family makes fun of me because I clean out my bedliner
No eating. Unless it is me.
No trash in the cab. My brother once tried eating Fritos in the truck. I told him to put it away, or I will put it somewhere for him. He put it in the sidepocket. I found it the next day (my truck stunk like Fritos), went up to his room (he was sleeping), rubbed the bag and Fritos in his face, and then explained to him about why we don't leave food in the truck.
I freaking hate fingerprints. The same brother mentioned above ALWAYS leaves fingerprints on the door, on the interior, etc. I don't get it, he's in it for 10 mins and there's prints everywhere. I'm in it for hours at a time, and it looks fine.
And tons more. I'm out of time.
