I got made fun of for going outside at my job to clean off bird poop one day last summer, but I wasn't going to let that crap bake on my hood all day. I'd think anyone with a nice new car would do the same.

Let's put it this way. My car is typically one of the cleaner cars I see when I'm out driving around, but would probably be one of the dirtiest compared to the posters around here.

To each his own.
