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...boilerbabe wrote:This is very true mindflipper!!!

Condensation can make a bottle slippery safety hazard...![]()

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

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

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.MmeLeota wrote:I'm not even going to talk about our car....![]()

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

Re: License plates and other car embellishments
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?

Re: License plates and other car embellishments
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!
