Ford Fest Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Just guessing, but I would bet the majority of us on TS are very anal retentive and could tell some stories about just how anal retentive we truly are. Today, driving through a neighborhood; I passed a house that is always immaculate. The guys cars are always spotless and his yard is incredible. I finally figured out how he keeps that yard looking like carpet. After mowing, he was out in the yard with his 20 gallon wet dry vac picking up all of the left over clippings. Vacuuming the yard??? Holy crap! And I thought I was bad using my leaf blower to dry off my wheels after washing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RACERX009 Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I wash and wax / armor all my tractor and lawn mower plus my snow blower. But shop vacuuming a lawn is crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 I can't stand my neighbor who refuses to sharpen her lawn mower blades after mowing the sticks; this shouldn't get under my skin but every year I end up offering to fix her lawn mower for a small serving of her divine quality tomatoes; my dad's tomatoes are great too, but we grow mostly big boys, beefsteak, (insert weird oval tomato here), and cherry tomatoes....add 'off topic' to that anal and retentive part.

Ford Fest Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Curious if the lawn is second on the list to our cars of things we are anal retentive about??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss Doctor Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Maybe he's not anal retentive. Perhaps she's anal retentive and he's whipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vacuuming the yard??? Holy crap! And I thought I was bad using my leaf blower to dry off my wheels after washing them. What's wrong with that? I use a wet/dry to vacuum up leaves around the bushes in the front. I use a leaf blower to dry my whole car... Not just the wheels... Then take a Master Blaster Sidekick to finish the job.

RACERX009 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I love the leaf blower it makes drying the car so much easier especially the tight spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0201212 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I bought a leaf blower just for the cars. Have another for the leafs. I also use a tooth brush to clean the engine bay after every wash. I would say that I have OCD but everything has to be in order so I have CDO!! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
