This is very true mindflipper!!! Sometimes I'm going to run though, and I have a sweaty bottle, so the napkin trick works well. :wink: :D
Heard about an accident at work were the "slippery water bottle" was blamed as the cause. When you drop something, it's almost a knee-jerk reaction to pick it back up again. The reaction is almost involuntary. Plus, my current car has cloth seats (I hate'em) so I don't want any liquids in the car that could potentially leave a stain...

Cue Jacca with joke about butt stains in 5.... 4.... 3.... :wink:


I use the napkin technique as well. Bottle/cup sweat and accidental "jostling splashes" are captured before they hit the cup holder. 8-)

My mom is the same way with her car. She won't let anyone but herself eat in the car.

After F1gment eats in her car, then there is a veritable snack buffet for anyone willing to scrounge beside the seats ;) Ooo, she is going to be mad when she sees this :shock:

Relax, MmeLeota, I like a clean car, but I'm not in the same ballpark as boilerbabe, Len90, and Mousekedude. On the plus side, neither am I in the dump with Boilerdude.

No, "dump" (like garbage dump) is the right word... :wink:

Along these lines of clean car peoples and not so clean car peeps, I am curious if anyone would drive a vehicle that had a Disney product wrap? Would that change depending on what was depicted? For example, I know there are a lot of forum members that do not care for Vinylmation. Would you still drive a car that had a Vinylmation wrap if you were compensated in some way. As I understand it, most companies pay a monthly fee for you driving a vehicle that has their advertising on it. Would you balk at driving a brand you don't like?

What if they gave you a free AP and money for the car wash to keep the car clean all the time?

Nope. I just don't want to be a walking (or driving) billboard.

So here are my Disney buddies. The pluto bobblehead is 7 years old. I bought the last one at the Yacht Club gift shop and never saw them since.

I am just like Len and Boilerbabe- my truck has to be clean all the time. That is my baby!
