Washing

I was told by one of the NC Chapter members that she can't get her truck as clean as her Boyfriend.

So here I go again.

Who gets a Truck Cleaner??

I voted men.
Why? Men seem to be fastidious and obsessed with cleaning their cars. Personally, I really don't have the time to wash my Bronco all the time. It's kinda big and takes me hours. Anyways, my truck looks better dirty.

i think guy's have a tendency to take a lil more pride in there ride than girls. i mean come on how many times have we washed or rides on the front lawn so everyone driving by could see it,or when ya get done cleanin up your ride ya just sit back with a cold one and dream about some twisted road out in the country or a muddy field. i can do this and have for hours on end. i might have isues but i spend time with my 71 and the nuffield every afternoon

You should say MOST men are obsessed with cleaning their cars...I could care less what mine looks like.
. Anyways, my truck looks better dirty.
All trucks look better dirty...

Well....it's also a little misleading because most people tend to think that women don't really spend a lot of time doing anything other than just driving their vehicles. I came from a family where the women were the ones who actually would take an entire saturday afternoon and devote it entirely to washing and detailing.

I've done it numerous times. Heck I've even washed before I had to go to rehersal for band last summer. Only to return home after driving county roads and having the front covered in bugs.

For the average ....I voted Men


IMO > Depends on the person.

I know of 3 women that can out-clean their vehicles compared to men.

These are "Car Women" not just women.

Sorry, but as a generalization I am going to have to say men. Women, for the most of them, dont care about their vehicles as much as men do!
