Yikes! Our minivan is pretty messy. We're on the go all the time, and to be honest, I don't keep on top of keeping it in pristine condition. Our apartment is clean, though. I guess if we move, we will clean out the van first! LOL!

You know, that's a really good idea. I stopped and thought about the peole I know for a couple of minutes, and you are right. The slobs in their homes are almost all also slobs in their cars, and those who keep a really clean house also keep really clean cars. It's not 100% foolproof, but that with how they are dressed and groomed says an awful lot.
