But seriously that's awesome.. I do not have this OCD gene.. and while a pain I know for some.. it would be awesome to be forced to keep stuff that organized sometimes.

Hehe, didn't expect anyone to look that closely. Bookshelves out of pine taken from our daughter's room when we got her "grown up" furniture. Painted it white to go with the garage colors and it makes a good place to stack stuff. Hey ! If I didn't save money SOMEWHERE, I couldn't have afforded this car !

). Finally, I have Altec-Lansing speakers with iPod dock that replaced the "boombox" you see a little bit on the left.

Wash and rinse buckets, about 40 microfiber towels, rubber gloves for winter, a big California Duster hanging, vaccuum attachment (duh!), and that red thing is another hand-carried vaccuum the store (Lowes) just gave me.

Nice facility, my friend!

Buy a heel plate if you don't like heel marks on your carpet..

i still have the clear plastic over my illuminated passenger side kick plate

I dont know if the covers and all are OCD or just neat freakish. An OCD I have with the stereo is; it has to be on 20 or 25 or 30 for the volume not in between. I dont really go under 20 else I just turn it off to listen to the exhaust.

worst OCD moment recently? ... i accidentally hacked out about a 1.5 inch of intercooler fins with a screw driver trying to straighten them up from being bent....

NYBladeZ · 03-05-2010, 10:32 PM

OCD non car: after "smoking" I need a serving of Sunny D

OCD car: I check tire pressure before starting my traveling for the day, everyday

John Bradley · 03-06-2010, 11:20 AM

What I find that works is a nice soft thick
bath towel to match the color of ur floor
mats.. Take it out and wash it once a month
and it brand new again.. Blends in well with the
floor so it doesn't stand out..
Although I don't drive mine much, 4 months
600 miles and I live in the south!!
Also OCD my garage.. Nothing but my z
and cleaning cabinet in a 2 1/2 car garage.
Wife thinks I'm nuts.. I told her just wait
25 years when we go to a Z show with a
25 year old Z with 20,000 miles on it

thinking about buying a coupe just to drive
everyday

i think my most ridiculous OCD move was sometimes i would get more upset about insignificant things that happened to my car than losing money in the stock market, considering some of those paper losses amounted to 2 or 3 times the value of the car i owned at the time.

i am trying to condition my mind to not worry about small things that happen to my car
