yeah its ridiculous how dirty my car gets in the winter lol, i'd rather have to keep it clean though than crash and wreck it on the ice at the end of day. My neighbours think im mental the amount and condition i'm out washing my car in lol I told a passer by who questioned why I was bothering "it keeps my mind off heroin" lol he gave me a strange look and went on his way haha

plus, cleaning your car I find is a good cure for a hangover, which I find myself with lots over the weekends at this time of year :D
