Stop at one of those car wash places with a super powerful vac and a long long hose. More powerful than any home vac

[ltljohn]

You're supposed to vacuum your car??

[Hodag]

I'll ask the guy at the carwash that does mine what he uses

[wezul]

Jonathon, seriously . . . find a decent car full service car wash (do they exist in NYC?!, I mean, they grill their hot dogs, can they know anything about anything?!) and go for it!

Oh, I got a mid-evening Hodag response! Woo hoo! :wave

Seriously! I don't let no one touch my car. Those guys are crazy!

Real Hot Dogs come from Nathan's down in Coney. The only vegetable they put on a Nathan's is mustard.

And pickles come on the side.

Of Hamburgers.

:whistle

I'd suggest the brand that sucks the best. I haven't vacuumed our van since we carried dirt in it this summer. Whats with the bees knees? I know you live in NY, are you Italian? Are you kneecapping our poor helpless honeymakers for protection honey?

Whattya mean snarky?! The jokes I deserve but snarky?

[Crow18]

A vacuum?

Dude, that is so last century. Get yourself a leaf-blower, open up the doors and WHOOSH! Suddenly all the crap in your car is everybody else's problem.

We have a Vac store that sells Oreck and other brands. Over the years we have tried a few 12volt car vacs and we think the Oreck is the best (works the best and almost no repair work).
Hope this helps.

Hi shakeybone,

Besides Lamble and M1ka, you are by far the most honorable member in the entire club and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your post and advice. Thank you!

When you arrive at the beer tent at the rally next Summer, Statdawg will buy you as many draughts as you desire. You have my word!

I'm not Italian, but I do play one on TV.

Wasn't Snarky one of the Banana Splits?

That's Snorky and I can't believe I looked that up.

:banghead :brad

[Rapid_Roy]

BTW, I did a web search on the definition of snarky, and I have it here, in this clearly undoctored screenshot. I leave it for you, the gentle forum posters, to decide if I truly fit that definition.:whistle

Jonathan... vacuum?

Oh yeah Nathan's hot dogs .... not even close go do the Long Branch to Max's. Trust me on this one. I can tell the difference between a Bratwurst and a Hot Dog.

Thank you wuli959 for the Wet/Dry Comparison. I neglected to state in the OP that part of my search criteria was for a hand-held, purpose-built unit to stow in my trunk, but the Comparison you provided has some great information. The Craftsman 17066 looks like a great little machine :thumb
