WTF I didn't say I cleaned a car before I get rid of it I just said I wiped it down for fingerprints. Cleaning implies that I give a poo poo about whoever I'm selling it to (I've never sold a car in my life) instead of just trying to avoid a chat with the cops. :v:

Oh, I guess I didn't save the extra comment I made for that answer; it's now fixed.

I would like to clarify that when I take "useful" parts from a car, this may be anything from pinching a valve cap for one of the other cars, or as in the most recent case, cutting a three foot hole out the roof panel.

Mine was specifically the owner's manual. I have an OCD thing about having one for each car I've owned.

Honestly reading the manual and cleaning it are the first things I do after buying a car but I don't consider a car "mine" until I've turned a wrench on it.

The proper joke would have been "Take pictures of the headlight of the car my mom just bought and act like it's mine".

"Clean all of the mold my brother left in the car" would also have been acceptable.

Owner's manuals are a nice little window into what kind of market that car was being sold for. I'm a huge fan of old advertising and technical materials so I like thumbing through that kind of stuff.

Alright so I am going to break my usual editorial stance and say that I totally disagree that the 70s sucked for cars; sure, if you were a fan of American cars yes, but if you look to Japan and Europe, it was a golden age. I mean, the 70s saw the Porsche 930 and 928, the BMW 2002 Turbo and the birth of the 3-, 5-, 6- and 7-Series as well as the M1, the OG VW Golf, the Renault 5, the Lancia Stratos, the Lamborghini Countach, the Ferrari 512 BB, the Z-car, the RX-7, the Honda Civic and Accord as well as the Toyota Celica.

I'm with Geirskogul...the 1940s were the worst decade for cars. No production in the first half of the decade for obvious reasons, and when production resumed after the war, it was with almost exclusively pre-war designs. It wasn't until the end of the 1940s that actually new cars started to come off the production lines.

100% agreed, and I nearly answered the 40s as well because it makes sense for all the reasons listed. I chose 1890s for shigs, didn't expect it to be as popular an answer as it was.
