    It is a good time to clean your truck but be careful, if you are like me you will quickly get addicted, and you will start developing obsessive compulsive cleaning behavior.

    Plus, have you guys ever noticed, you can sit in your truck at a busy shipper for hours and hours and no one says a word to each other, but spend five minutes washing your mirrors or windows, and soon every knucklehead is walking by making some stupid comment.
