Today I was out washing the cars. A lady who visits the complex parked nearby. Her car is always nasty. I am not sure if it has ever been washed. By the looks of the wheels, it has not.

So...I decided to perform some "gorolla car washing". I decided to wash only ONE wheel and tire. I did not have my wheel or tire brush so I had to just let the cleaners soak. It is not perfect, but see how it started. That brake dust is caked on. So if you see a nasty road grime colored Mazda 6 with the semi-clean front wheel you know why.

Passanger side - not washed

Drivers Side - washed.

I agree - those tires are scary - especially in Oregon during the winter since it rains so much here.

I did not include the opened bag of Doritos in the back seat along with several empty fast food cups.

Yep... some people use their cars as trash cans. Guess its easier to throw it on the floor or in the back seat than to put it in a garbage can

Man that's hilarious. It is hard to believe how some people treat their cars, considering vehicles are not cheap to purchase and maintain.

That's part of the reason why I like to buy new, no matter how much investigating you do, you never truly know how the previous owner treated the car.

Or how they fail to maintain their cars.

Wow! An thats an excellent point... Some of these cars might be worse off than buying a used one salvaged from a flood area.

I can only imagine what one of these cars might smell like after sitting in the hot sun all day long. (Would probably need an air freshener at a minimum.)

man those cars are nutz. Trashy cars for trashy people. If they neglect to clean their cars then more than likely they neglect to change the oil and all other necessary maintence. If the inside of the car is filled with trash just imagine the inside of their body. The way you treat yourself carries over to how you treat your belongings.

IMO a persons ride and home is a direct reflection of their personality.

Wow, maybe I'm missing something here, but if it were me and I caught a person I didn't know doing ANYTHING to my car without my prior consent, I'd probably come at them with a 2X4 and some choice words. Be careful when you play with other peoples' rides, no matter what your intentions might be.

I am like that with my cars too, but judging by the way she cares for her belongings do you really think she would care?
