Once upon a time I was like everyone else... my garage was a sloppy storage area filled with cast-offs instead of what it should be - a museum-like environment as a pristine monument to exquisite automobiles.

Then one day a while back I happened to read that the rich all had one thing in common - they were unfailingly neat and obsessively tidy. A light bulb went off in my head... if this were so, then by becoming similarly tidy I could - automatically, almost by default - become 'filthy' rich!

So the journey began...

Sadly, today I'm not wealthy. I've spent all my money buying cleaning equipment. But the neatness trait continues, long ingrained into my psyche, preparing me for a better time yet to come .
