Is This Bad?

I came home yesterday to find the wife out in the garage with her purple Dyson busily vacuuming the garage. It just didn't look right.

Mongoose, I am sorry to hear that. I wish you well.

I am quite sure you know what that means. You need to find another place to hang out. She has marked her territory and invaded your space for good.

Uh oh....She is setting you up for something...Most likely will be expensive! I can't get my wife to vacuum my house let alone my garage.

That's how they mark their territory. You should have impressed upon her your Corvette is a kill zone...I'd hide the fobs. .

She may need to go see a specialist. A good Corvette doctor might do. Good luck.

My wife has NEVER cleaned the garage, for any reason.

If you're wife was willing to use her Dyson on the garage floor.....sounds like trouble to me.

How was she dressed?

Are you sure this wasn't intended as a prelude to some C6 "polishing"............

Those Dysons come equipped with a variety of attachments.

I came home one day last week and saw a bunch of Qtips all around my car.I was thinking to myself,WTF,I know I didn't drop all these all over the floor.
I find out my 2 year old girl had been watching daddy clean his car and wanted to do some detailing of her own!The Qtips are low enough on the shelf that she could reach them and mommy thought it was cute.
I am just thankful she didn't watch daddy use a screwdriver!!

If you want your garage to look like you worked on it all day, all you have to do is use a leaf-blower. It will look so clean, you wife will think you spent the day working on the garage but you really cruised around in your Vette.

OK, let's be calm and think think this through. What would go into a garage and not the home, where the garage needs to be cleaned so well.

Hmm, maybe a bed or a new dog house for someone
