    Just did some rearranging in the garage and now I can fit my wifes 06 Accord 4dr and my DC LB and shut the door with inches to spare. I'll have to build some shelves to keep things off the floor but it's so much easier to keep the truck clean when it's parked in the garage over night.

    ^^^LOL.. Im the same way with my Interior!

    the Exterior I like to keep clean too, but since it rains/some snow 9months out of the year here, I wash it about every other week. But my Interior stays spotless.

    I'm the same way. I try to wash it as often as I can, but don't have a lot free time to do so. I do keep the inside as clean as possible.

    i used to feel guilty and not worthy of having a new truck because i see the super shiny nice clean trucks and mine is always dirty/muddy, and the inside gray is kinda brownish gray because I used to work on a farm and now i teach gardening, so my hands are always dirty. And my truck gets kinda scratched up and dirty from rambling over lava and through kiawe...then someone said to me "what's the use of having a truck if you don't use it like a truck?"...but man it looks pretty when it's clean:)
