Post Am I nuts?

I hate it when the inside of my wheels gets dirty and they're very hard to clean. Does this bother you guys or just me? I tried to clean them through the spokes with a toothbrush but it doesn't do a good job.

I was thinking the same thing today when I was washing my car. After hitting my knuckles a bunch of times trying to get in there, I just left it.

Cool

I bought a car wash kit from Brookstone and it comes with a long wire brush which slips in there perfectly. I used it today and it worked great.

I pull the rims once every few months and clean from the other side. The stock rims were a pain, but now that I have the TypeS rims, its alot easier. Still, it is annoying for those of us enthusiasts.

I didn't know baby's needed to have their nipples brushed. I'll bet the babies cry like..umm..babies when they have their nipples brushed. Seems kind of cruel.

Now, my girlfriend likes when I brush her nipples, but I don't call her baby. I call her sweetheart. And its more like a "tickle" than a "brush" when I do it.
