How messy is your car?
Permalink  
 

Do you ever see cars on the road that have a ton of crap piled up on the dashboard? I don't know how they drive without it sliding all over the place. Or cars just full of trash. That would drive me nuts.

Mine has never been that bad, but while I was bragging about keeping my house clean on the other thread I will fully admit that my car is usually pretty messy.

Front seat or back seat? Kid spots or adult spots?

The front is impeccable. We adults take our stuff out when we get out. We have a little cubby that has some stuff in it but it's not a mess. I keep sunglasses and pens in it. The back? Let's not go there.

I will admit, that dog hair is in the back seat, of my Jeep.

It never has much trash in it. I clean "Belle" out, every day, or two.

And, I take her up for a cleaning, every couple of months.smile

Messy?

I have a collection of receipts in one hole in the car. And a collection of napkins in another.

I have jackets, a few tools and a word puzzle book.

I don't know if messy is the word I would use.

I saw a car a few weeks back. It was sitting outside of Panda Express and it was plum full of junk. I mean up to the windows. The car was running and I noticed the dog when it barked. It wasn't mean barking more like it wanted something. As I walked passed I saw there was a woman in the driver's seat eating her take out.

I really think this was a hoarder who lost their house. It was sad and extremely strange.

When I worked at the corporate office for a fireworks company, I sold to wholesalers who would load up their vehicles on the premises after I brought the receipt out to the dock. We had one client whose car was always full of trash up to the brim. Once or twice, a cat would hop out when he opened the door. He was always genuinely surprised when that happened. I don't know how he could stand it - I could smell it from the dock.

Cars being messy. Over here it is a fad now to cover the front dash with something that looks like cotton batting - supposed to look cool but no one ever told these people that it should be cleaned once in a while. LOL

BTW, do some people still hang Large Dice on their rear view mirror - or a pair of baby shoes? Just wondering

The back of my car is always full of stuff. I hope the weather is nice today - I'll go clean it out.

My car needs to be detailed, mostly due to the weather. All the salt and sand from the road gets tracked in to the car.

OK, I confess. My car is usually a mess. I have stuff some of my work stuff in there for other jobs. I have some School Board papers in there in a bag. I have my pinnies and coaching gear in there for my 5th grade bball team. There are wrappers on the floor because I am addicted to those soft puff peppermints. I have my snowbrush in there in the back seat right behind the driver. I have a some envelopes that need mailing. I have a couple of books in there I drag around when I take DD to AAU practice. And, the floor mats are a mess due to all the road salt and terrible winter!

 Last Saturday I went to pick up firewood,  I was desperate.  I put down the back seats and loaded up the back with 1/2 cord of wood.  I now have pieces of bark all over the back.  Yep, a spring detailing is in order but not until April at least.

I can't remember the last time I paid for a car wash. I usually just wait until it rains.

 I've had a bottle of laundry soap sliding around the back for a week. It's the only thing back there.

  As you know, I drink seltzer water.  I bought some and left it in my car.  And, then it was like -20 here.  Anyway, every can exploded in the back of my trunk.  Luckily, it's just water so no biggie.  It froze and I picked out the frozen chunks and spliced alum cans.

I drive a full size dodge ram quad door. It has numerous water bottles and receipts from sonic strewn about in there. I need to clean that up before Mr.VoR gets home.

When I take a friend to lunch, at least I pick up my crap in the front seat.

Ok so back to the original OP. I have seen many a car that are just filled to the brim with crap, trash bags full of stuff. I just think that they must be living out of their car.

 Last month, there was a car in the Meijer parking lot, with towels hung from every window. That had to be their "home."

The front seat in my truck is clean. The back seat is rarely ever clean. The floorboard has been a gathering place for water bottles since I've owned my truck. They get cleaned out when I need the space for something or pass by a recycling center. Now that we have DS, there's also been an accumulation of toys in the back seat.

I have a trash can on the floorboard in front of the middle seat in the front.

 I don't see how people drive with stacks of stuff on the dash. That's what made me think of this subject.

I have those weather tech floor liners in my car. It was expensive but well worth it. They clean up real easy and make the inside look really nice.
