One of my car theories has been blown away....
Don't lie: haven't you ever had the feeling your car drove by after it was detailed? I know its psychosematic, but it brought a small amount of joy to my life. I got new floor mats a month or two ago (OEM, $79 delivered, btw), but had not yet installed them, because I wanted to have my carpet steam cleaned first. I steam cleaned it myself over the weekend and put in the mats today after letting the car bake at the airport overnight. As soon as I proudly drove off with my detailed interior and new floor mats, a tremendous shimmy arose from the front end. This, with fresh lower ball joints, new brakes, a 3 week old laser alignment and new tires. I see no reason to ever clean my car again.

Sure; that fresh coat of wax reduces your drag quotient significantly!

Something in my E320 smells really bad and I can't find it. I've looked everywhere. It has a sort of old turkey sandwich aroma. Tomorrow I'm taking out the back seat and see if some food item slipped from a kid's hand and was invaginated by the luxury leather. If that doesn't work, it's off to the detailer's. I usually do the wash/wax/vac/conditioning myself but this fragrance may need professional help.
I just thought I'd share. How's my emoting? |

I left a whole 20lb King Salmon in my EX Girlfriends Jeep for about a week in July.
Man that was nasty. |

The car's Feng Shway, or however it's spelled, increases with cleaning and general attention. That energy is channeled to you and from there, you can figure out the rest.
OK, I admit it, I made that up.

My friend Gary and his neighbor didn't get along. One day this neighbor guy finds one of his calves dead, so he blames Gary for some reason. Says that stuff he's spraying around the fence posts is what killed his calf and wants Gary to pay for the calf. Gary doesn't believe it and wants an autopsy done. Neigbor resists but after a lot of bickering they decide to throw the calf in the trunk of Gary's car and take it to the University vetmed department.
OK fine, they get there and they can't get the calf out. Turns out rigor mortis had set in! Took them a coupla hacksaws a a *****load of swearing before it came out. They decided to call a truce over the whole matter that day.

My car has a hydraulic, fuel, electrical, coolant, a/c, vacuum and chi systems. Ah, that helps explain it. My car's chi is blocked and little pockets of chi are festering, possibly in the trunk... which I will check today. Perhaps I shall start my car on an automotive tai chi in which I practice smooth redirection of my car's chi through careful study of movement through traffic patterns. |
