A fine winters mess

[Slowpoke]

How many of us does this happen to each winter?
All clean in the fall but now its a mess and has anyone seen my charger lately? 

[Lord Warlock]

It started with the fender on the roof,  if you don't put things on top first, it won't accumulate so much on the hood.  However, yes mine will accumulate more crap than necessary as long as it remains stationery and doesn't get moved.  Something about that long flat hood that looks like a countertop in the garage.   I don't even store household stuff in the garage mine sits in, but it still accumulates tools, parts, boxes for parts, wrenches, sockets and spray bomb paint cans.  (keep the larger ones on the shelf)
Had mine cleaned off less than a month ago, and its already packing on parts.

I'm pretty sure there is a CJ7 in my garage.  I'll let you know in the spring.

[Charger RT]

My charger is uncovered and driven weekly but I have a 66 dart in the back corner of my garage that is covered and surrounded by so much stuff you can't see the car.

The primary issue as I see it is that beautiful flag tossed on top of that mess instead of being folded properly or at least folded.

The secondary issue is all that crap piled on a Charger.

Bad bad juju both.

[Ghoste]

Wow, not nearly to that degree but I did recently let go the lease on a storage bin and had to put too much stuff around the 67 for my liking.  But not on top. 

[Slowpoke]

the flag is just placed there for the night. I put it up on the side of the house in the morning and take it down in the evening.

[Slowpoke]

I will plead for leniency, other than the light stuff on the hood most of the rest is spare charger parts.

[Ghoste]

Fair enough and I have been guilty in the past.

Please take the sand paper out of the sanding block!

[twodko]

Please take the sand paper out of the sanding block!

Yeah! That too! 

Your punishment.......

Remove the star tats on the lastest "Chicks on Chargers" entry. The one with the partial Hooter's tee shirt.....

[Ghoste]

The punishment need to fit the crime.  Your suggestion is excessive and inhumane.

[Bob T]

Bad bad juju both.

Agreed.

I've always felt that stacking anything on a car is the start of the "Way" down. From there is soon disappears and becomes an inanimate object. I'll stack around it at worst 

[Ghoste]

Yep, had a HUGE row with the now former bride when I went in the garage one day to discover she had piled a bunch of crap on the Charger.  Should have been a clue huh?

[twodko]

Very well. I acquiesce to the major opinion.

Geezus!    I would have smacked her from here to kingdom come!

[Fred]

NEVER, EVER!  Not even if I ran out of storage space. My garages are for the cars. Everything else goes in the sheds.
I have never stored anything on top of a car, not even a junker.

What Fred said.

[Ghoste]

Fred, believe it or not when I bitched about it here on the site there were a number of people who felt I over reacted. 

[JB400]

If you people have to stack stuff on, around, and in the Charger, you have too much stuff.

[Ghoste]

Hmm, an interesting judgement to be passed by someone who has never been to my home.

[JB400]

I don't think I'd have to visit your home in particular to make my accusation.   You can sugar coat it all you like, but either way, it amounts to you having too much stuff you don't know what to do with.

[bill440rt]

Nope. NEVER.
Not even in the spring, summer or fall. 

[Dino]

My car's been on stands since August and there's no way in hell I'm putting anything on top of the car.  Once you do that, might as well call it a shelve and forget all about it.

Clear everything from the car and clean it, no matter how bad a shape it's in.  You will be shocked at how much better it looks and what it does to your motivation.

[Ghoste]

I don't think I'd have to visit your home in particular to make my accusation.   You can sugar coat it all you like, but either way, it amounts to you having too much stuff you don't know what to do with.

There is no sugar coating.  Space that I feel like designating for certain products is limited and therefore I do know exactly what to do with it.  I could pile it on the car but I dont want to.  See how that works.
Now if you want to get technical yes stroker you are absolutely 100% totally correct and I could dispose of every single item I own except for the one car in the garage.  Oh-oh, but that might leave me with excessive space in which case it would mean I don't have enough stuff.  Oh crap!  Now what do I do?  Surely to God there is a professional service out there which can come into my home and make the call for me on what is too much, too little or just right.

Then again, if I don't have shit piled on top of the car, and I don't have crap bleeding out of my house onto the street, and I don't have things piled around inside my dwelling causing me to make pathways getting around then maybe just maybe, my amount of stuff is just right and I really don't need someone who has never been to my home telling me I have too much? (or too little or even just right )
