Do I have a problem?
Ok, my wife would probably say I had a problem. At the gas station on today's run I spilled a liitle bit of gas on the 959 fender. They didn't have any towels there so I took off my shoe and wiped the fender with my sock. Some would say I have a problem.
 Today's fun run was, well , fun. Although after being in the car for so long, it feels good to be sitting on the couch (typing this on wifey's iphone). I feel guity - being a bit tired of driving the 959 is like being tired of having sex with Jessica Alba! Oh well, I guess that you can't do either of those all day long... Hope ypu all had fun! -wayne

Problem or obsession?
I think that can only be answered by a trained professional.

 But then again if I could have ever had sex with Jessica Alba I'd of never been married to ANY of my wives.

I can see no problem. You chose a sock over a paper towel. soft vs scratchy. Don't you carry speed shine for such occasions. I guess I'm the one with the problem.
P.S. save the matching sock for a future spill. Craig

Even my wife thought that it was a good idea. But hey, she is so used to me being totally anal about my car her opinion probably can't be trusted........

My thoughts exactly. I suspect we have a problem... Back to Wayne's comment about the gas spill and the sock. You mean to tell me that you don't keep a couple of microfiber towels in the car for dusting the dashboard along with a little brush for cleaning the dust out of the air vents when you're sitting at a stop light? Evidently you do have a problem, or is that you don't?

Not a problem. Now, if you removed your wife's shoe/sock and wiped it down...then you'd have a problem.

Hmmm...959 or Jessica Alba? Unfortunately, most of us will never get to make that choice...

I think we're missing the real issue here. dress or sport sock? cotton or poly-blend? fresh or well-worn? the answers would give us a better idea of the depth of the problem.
