What’s the weirdest thing you’ve done for your TL?

My girlfriend just caught me showering with my floor mats. I thought this was a perfectly fine way to clean both the mats and myself at the same time, but she thought it was creepy.

What have you done for your TL that outsiders may consider a bit obsessive or weird?

I get some funny looks from the neighbors when I clean my exhaust tips with a toothbrush and chrome polish. They also give me some funny looks when I use a Leaf Blower to blowoff the car after washing it or vacuuming the trunk. I guess I'm the clean car fanatic in my cul-de-sac.

my neighbors used to judge whether or not they needed a carwash based upon if im washing my car or not. I even had this lady jog by that ive never seen in my life and she said "youre always washing that car"

i dont wash my car anymore though ive been too lazy/busy/ was out of state for the summer
