Exactly! Your relationship with said brand doesn’t matter, if you dig something about it and feel like flying their flag, do it!

*shudder* Hit the nail a little too close to the head there.

I don’t care if you own, have owned, or never plan to own a certain brand of car. If you’re flying their flag, you’re a fan of theirs in some regard and that’s good enough. That said, some are more laughable than others.

For those not in the know (like me):

Right?? And if Harbor Freight is a bit of a drive, you can hit up your local drug store and find them there as well for about the same price! You won’t be getting the thick ones, but I use the 5 mil gloves more frequently anyway.

He went up a few points in my book for actually cleaning up though. I’ve heard some tenants don’t even bother flushing :-S

or wear gloves when you know you’re going to be elbows deep in it.

“That’s going in the toolbox”

I’m glad I’m not the only one! I’d just replace those nasty painted-over light switches too, while I was at it. Maybe not wise in a rental, but that’s never stopped me before.

Thanks, now everyone here is wondering what’s so funny

How is Simple Green never mentioned at any point?? I saw the title and immediately assumed it would be the answer.

Yeah, that color and car go VERY well together

Oh....man. I’m pretty sure that car in that color was in my list of favorites in Gran Turismo 6. So incredibly jealous right now.

One of my automotive goals is to own a car in a fittingly appropriate wild color (sorry, yellow and red don’t count). Lime green, plum crazy purple, (orange?) orange, or what the heck, some sort of stunning blue like Swedish Racing Green.

Ooo good call. With dark gray cloth upholstery and the right tone of wood trim...

lol Those are some damn good points. Once you’re able to overcome the computerized hurtles, we don’t have a problem fixing the actual problem if you have the patience and tools for it. I will go old man for a second and complain about how many more tools one needs to work on modern cars, and I’m not even talking about…

The turds were many

I have a feeling people’s peak car period is directly proportional to when they graduated high school.

That last bit about “new cars being too complicated” to old farts is something I realized a few years back when I noticed how adept I had become at troubleshooting the very systems that I heard the old timers grousing about. It really isn’t too complicated.

Right? Is selecting an attractive color a woman thing now? Personally I dig the hell out of that pale blue in the lead photo. Maybe not on a VW Beetle though...
