Why do some people have so much crap in their cars?

[AfriqueNY]

I don't care what people have or do with their cars.. But.. My philosophy is that my car is my transportation investment. I want to keep it in the best shape possible on the inside and out.

Lipstick or mascara is probably okay, it's more foundation or eyeshadow (or, say, hairspray), that annoys me because you can just see that fine powder going up in to the air as they apply it since it's more of a dry substance and you sort of brush it on. All those particles are going to come down somewhere in the car. Not a huge deal but just something I've noticed.

I don't mind water or even diet soda which is basically pretty easy to clean up since it's not sticky and it just brown-tinted water. However, coffee or sugary drinks or a milkshake or smoothie or something...I really do not want those in my car because I just do not want to have to try to clean that mess up.
