first, continue to photochopperize things

then, get down to the nitty gritty. seats out to find the hidden garbage. dog treats, old food, and random detritus

all vacuumed away and the carpets cleaned. you can see it mostly in the transitions where the rugs have been removed. in the before picture its a very stark light cream to brown line. now it’s all mostly one colour

and of course those removable rugs got some love, possibly for the first time since ‘97

And I razor bladed the glass, and completely wiped down the plastics with an oil removing detergent. Then, cleaned all the glass with streak free methods, and re-oilied the plastics so they shiny and smelly.

Anyway, it smells like freshly laundered clothes in there now.

Went to Costco to get the winter tyres swapped for summers, and the guy was impressed by the cleanliness of my interior. So that’s a plus.

in truth I upgraded because of a $15 rebate thinger, I should probably take that into account with my pricing here.

so, $33? I dont skimp on wipers! BALLAAAAAAA (actually colorado just has kinda wild weather and wipers make the difference)

the corolla is around to facilitate teh civic’s engine swap, so I can still have something to drive to work while the civic is non-op

I think the most I’ve spent on wipers at one time is $30 and I thought that was steep
