I'm with you! If only I could train my lovely wife to embrace the same concept. She just picked up the first "door ding" in her new Escape over the weekend, and I've been sick about it ever since. And the funny thing about it -- IT DOESN'T BOTHER HER IN THE LEAST!
I just don't get it.......

what? how about you come over and wash my bloody dishes or do my laundry. What an absolutely stupid thing to say to someone washing/waxing their ride.

He was amazed at the level of detail that I went through to make my truck look the way it was looking.... after about 10 minutes of talking with the guy, I landed another client.
I tried to get it this weekend (as my next-door neighbor's Saturn isn't going to happen) but, he's out of town. Oh well...Being ultra-**** can help sometimes... LOL! Other times it's a total hindrance.

Well I've detailed vehicles in the past when I was between jobs or those with less pay that supported the bills I had. I once again find myself detail vehicles now that they see the attention to detail that I perform. I'm finding I actually enjoy it now more then before. 3 Months ago I'd never heard of claying a vehicle. Now I've done 6. I can't believe how much I've learned here. Does that mean RP and Boss deserves a commission check for their input?

Guilty on the door closing quirk. I either grab the inside handle and give it just the right amount of yank, or I close it with one finger on the window, then wipe the finger smudge off. Sad.

**Hey RP, I didn't see it in my sent message file, so I'll assume the email I attempted to send you regarding the Meg's sale going on now, never made it your way. In short, sweet prices! I have the 16, and the MPPC should be here this afternoon. If I don't hear from you prior, I'll type out the list and send it with your order. Oh yea, email your addy please.

I Hate when some one slams my door
I Hate when my young children leave finger prints on the
inside of the windows ( However, I found that a
light coat of Megiuers CLeaner Wax stops this.)
I Hate when some one tries to 'one up' everything that I've
done to my truck. (You know, the people who say
"Aw... that ain't nothing. I did this and this...) If you
don't like my truck or something about it, avert your
d@mn gaze!
I Hate when everyone tries to race me at a light. I have a
4x4, and most of the time, either a quad or motorcycle
in the back. Just cause it's loud (headers and
Flowmasters) doesn't mean I want to race you)
Okay I'm done for now... That was fun and did make me feel much better....

I can't have any dust on dash, floor mats must be clean.
Seatbelts must be retracted neatly
I also close door from the inside when getting out.
Always wash wheel wells and mud flaps.
I can't stand having any loose stuff in the box or back seat, everything goes in the toolbox in the back.
I hate having dust anywhere inside or out. How can people drive with a dusty dash? And i never put anything on dash.
I do eat and drink in truck, but i always have a garbage bag between seats for garbage. And i clean out all crumbs everytime.
A shopping bag hooks onto both armrest on my bucket seats real nicely.for garbage.
I never leave anything in my trailer hitch, i have a ford cover that goes in there, and always pull out the ball and receiver.
I always have to have perfect lined up mudflaps on all vehicles. How can someone drive a truck without mudflaps? They just look weird without them.
And if a light ever burns out i always fix it right away, look like a homo driving with burnt out lights.
