What our cars say about us...(the hidden stuff)

What our cars say about us...(the hidden stuff)
I just finished a quick clean out of my car. It was terrible. I filled a 55 gallon garbage can with junk, and I got to thinking what does all this crap tell people who ride in my car about me? well here's a list of most of the stuff I pulled out:
Trunk:
-no less than 8 empty CASES of beer
-4 empty cases of Mt. Dew
-one full 12 pack of beer (friday night leftovers)
-one garbage bag full of empy beer cans
-enough exhaust parts to outfit a Geo Metro
-2 pairs underwear, 4 socks(not matching)
-1 creeper
-3 used zip-ties (it was a cop car before i got it )
-1 hat
-spare tire and jumpercables(remain in trunk)
Passenger Compartment:
-5 empty cups from work(dr.pepper you're the devil)
-2 jegs catalogs, 1 crutchfield catalog
-some parts for a 97 ford taurus
-my old tailpipes(from the muffler to the tips)
-a bazillion check stubs
-20 empty packs of cigarettes
-2 full bottles of water
-3 more beer cans(don't know how they got there, i don't drink and drive or ride)
-2 mountain dew cans
-8 condoms(expired)
-tools (nut buster, socket caps, sockets, wrenches)
-1 saws-all plus extra blades
-lottery tickets (losers )
-3 more socks
-a pair of jeans
-5 lighters
-the actual lighter for the car
-a can of liquid wrench
-misc. other
So I'm guessing this sends the message that I'm a sloppy, chain smoking drunk that is over worked, under sexed, and enjoys riding around with car parts in his car and not ON his car.
The truth is that this has just been an accumulation of about 6 months of crap building up because I don't have the time to take care of it because I'm always working. I basically live out of my car and sleep at home.
Anyway, If anyone wants to comment feel free. I say share with everyone what your car is telling people. However, I have this feeling that everyone takes care of their ponies a little better than their POS cars.

The only stuff I carry is in the trunk. There a battery jumper, air pump, bottle of detail spray, shammy, and some microfiber cloths all inside a green milk-crate. I can't stand when the interior is cluttered up with crap!

I have the little Ford binder thing with the manual and some other useful information needed if I were to get pulled over in the glove box
In the center console I have some cds, sunglasses with gase, cell phone charger, power inverter, deposit slips, pen
In the trunk I usually have my tripod for a camera and I still have some fold out chairs from when I went to the track (the light ones)

At first I was like, no way does that all fit. But then discovered its a CV. Only a few things in my car that it didnt come with:
-my foldup chair in the trunk for club activities and cruises.
-two way radio
-air horn
-ink pen
-tire gauge

Yeah, after reading that i decided to go check out mine. Not too bad.
3 expired batterys (2 AA,s and a D)
4 Sobe-NoFear energy drinks(empty)
4 empty packs of Kool Milds. (Odd, i dont smoke in my car)
1 dead hooker
a sleeping bag
$4.98 in change
tire iron with what appears to be blood and hair stuck to it
357 hollowpoint ammo
Modonna's immaculate collection (this concerns me)
What appears to be some sort of packing foam
Not too bad. I always try to keep her clean though.

My car is spotless on the inside. I usually only drive it about 200 miles per week and I vacuum it weekly. There is practically nothing in it. Though, I do keep a toolbox in the trunk and of course, my nitrous bottle. I have the usual crap in the glove box.
Now, my wife's Suburban.....that is another story. I drive a Chrysler MiniVan as a company car (Magnum on the way), and that thing has a lot of work stuff in it. My Mustang gives me tranquility.
