Title: Junky car or clean car?
Post by: melodylogan45 on July 18, 2014, 04:49:08 am
Do you keep a lot of things in your car, but keep it decent or do you just throw everything in your car and
it looks junky?

It may be clean for a day or two but it gets junked back up quite quickly.  I use to be able to blame the mess on all the kids I toted around for years when my daughter was growing up but I can't use that excuse any more.  Now it's my husband and dog that makes such messes in the car!!

My car is clean with no clutter. It has compartments in convenient spots and whenever I use something in one of the compartments it goes right back in its place.

Well, there is garbage in the sides of the door or cupholders a lot.  I guess for my standards, it's kinda messy, but then again I've seen messy cars~nothing like that!!!!

My car is nearly 15 years old, but I constantly make sure that the interior (and the exterior as well) is in 100% condition. In fact, I plan on vacuuming inside it this afternoon when the weather improves (I have a shop vac so I save a lot of money).

But, ultimately, to answer the question, my car is super clean all the time. Even if I track a small amount of sand, I have to, have to, have to (can I emphasize that enough?! lol) clean it up immediately.

I try to keep my car clean but I end up spending a lot of time in it for work. What usually happens is that the junk start to build up and then I eventually can't stand it so I clean it all out.

Such a mess. Im ashamed. I commute a lot in my car and it is sort of a mobile office so it stays a wreck. I hate it bc i am not a messy person, but I have sort of given up the car being clean!

I'm ashamed to say that my car is rather a mess, especially the SUV that I haul feed in weekly.

While my kids make it a bit messy, it's not junky and I will never have a junky car!  I couldn't stand the mess.  Clutter drives me nuts!

I used to be a neat freak and kept my car clean, then I married a very nice man. His mother called him pigpen. Yep it fits. So now if the house gets dusty  so what. I am no mans maid. So when I get really ticked I holler at him to at least vacuum. As for the car, I will dump the trash and kinda clean up. But again I don't clean up all the time for a man he or my dad. I sorta quit.

I like a clean car.  Ensuring there are no items left in the car helps to prevent car theft.  It's better to try and prevent a problem before it happens if possible.  Removing items from the car helps to reduce this problem and hopefully helps to keep one a little safer by not leaving items in the car that would tempt a would be burglar or possibly a car jacker.

It's got quite a bit of dirt, but in terms of actual items, it's pretty clean...

I like to keep my car very clean and smelling good so i clean it often and i buy a new air freshener about once a month to keep it smelling clean.  :) I hate a dirty car.

I keep so so, most time is clean but you might find a few things out of place.  We clean the car on Saturday and by next Friday things are everywhere in there, no trash but other junk like shoes, swaters, etc.

Post by: countrygirl12 on July 22, 2014, 07:45:50 am
My car is not junky.  I may not keep it supper clean but I would not say it is junky.  I do have at times quite a bit of stuff in it.  I work about an hour from my house so on the days I work I take with me anything that I could need which if it is raining will include a jacket, lunch for the day, and anything else I might need.  The other day I forgot to brush my teeth before I left home so I had to stop at Walgreens and I ended up paying almost $5 for the smallest tube of tooth paste and a tooth brush that I got on sale and a bottle of water.  I have noticed Walgreens is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE for me to shop at.

It has a lot of trash in it from my weekly commuting. Not really items, mostly food wrappers and such that ends up in the floor of the passenger side - that I do eventually throw out when I gas up.

I don't keep lots of stuff in the car. Although, living in the city, it's hard to keep a perfectly clean car.
Title: Re: Junky car or clean car?
Post by: Tresbn00 on July 27, 2014, 06:55:43 am
I keep a tube of sun screen, an IPod, keys to my post office box, half a bag of chile lime sunflower seeds, a rain poncho (folded into a five by six inch pocket), sunglasses and one book (this month's subject is value investing-endorsed by Warren Buffett). In other words-no, I  do not junk up my car.  Garbage is taken out when I leave the car. Family members try to leave stuff in the car and I patiently remove it and leave it in the garage by the stairs leading into the house. I only wash my car two times a year so it does get a bit dusty/dirty.  My daughter's car, on the other hand, is a mess.  I cleaned out fifty two empty plastic water bottles last week.

If it was just me, my car would stay clean but my kids like to leave stuff in the car. I do get mad and clear it all out about once a week though.

I have a lot of things in my trunk that I don't need that I need to get rid of but I keep the inside of my car clean.  I'm not a pack rat or junky person.

I'm going to say mine is more of a cluttered car.  There are some papers on the passenger floor and I keep a plastic bag in the back seat to occasionally pickup the loose stuff, but the car is not dirty.  I've seen way worse than mine, but mine is by no means immaculate.

My car unfortunately looks junky. I work two jobs, so I change and I have clothes in the car. If I take lunch, I may have a container (or 2) in there as well as a gulp cup, etc.

My windows and car on the outside isn't always that clean, especially as I park under trees that tend to drop things including leaves and sap. But as to the inside I always minimize what's in there.
Title: Re: Junky car or clean car?
Post by: pookie22 on July 27, 2014, 09:06:12 pm
The interior of my car is kept clean, there are a few things under the seats, but they aren't visible unless your kneeling in the door looking there (umbrella, window scraper, sunshield).  I keep a box of tissues in the hump in the back in case I need them.  I usually sweep out the interior once a week to get the leaves and stuff out.  Now my trunk is another story LOL, I have all of my reusable bags in there, plus some odds and ends stuff I might need.

Post by: mrrangerrick on July 27, 2014, 09:25:05 pm
I work way too much to clean it, probably 90+ hours a week. My car can get pretty messy, but I'll clean it out every week or so.

Post by: demaina on July 28, 2014, 12:32:53 pm
Well, that's hard to say.  The car I'm driving isn't my car, so when I started driving it, it came with a certain degree of junk strewn about.  Now, when I get fast food and have wrappers, I try my best to contain my mess to a small area at least and then tidy up that area every once in a while.  That being said though, sometimes things get a little out of control.

I think if I were ever to get my own car, it would be kept relatively clean.

I share a car with my fiancé, but he keeps it pretty cluttered with things for work, like tools and such. Other than that it's pretty clean :)

Our car has become junky over the past few weeks, because I have a lot of items that have to be recycled in it, and there is no recycling place near my home.

Post by: ShadeTree on July 31, 2014, 06:56:53 pm
I keep things clean and relatively organised. But I don't have a car of my own so it's not up to me in regards to how it looks. If I had my own car, it would definitely be kept clean and I would probably have very little if anything kept in it on a regular basis.

My car gets junky sometimes but never more than a day or two. I've seen people with so much junk in their car, especially on the dash board. I could never drive a car like that.

I try my best to keep it clean but for some reason there's a lot of junk in it but I do clean it every 2 weeks.
