I have to have the center caps on my wheels lined up with the valve stems, so they look right. Does anyone do this or should I seek therapy?

 

I'm very OCD about many things but thats not one of them. But not understanding why I'm so OCD about many things, you're entitled to be OCD about anything you wish. Sometimes it's a good thing haha

 

For me, it's the dash airvents have to be lined up (dimples up!) whenever I'm parked.

My friends know about this, so try to catch me out by taking photos. I've been caught once, but I blame my wife for that as she failed to adjust the passenger side vent for me

 

The first '66 Mustang I restored, I had the tires mounted with the lettering aligned with the valve stem and the center cap also lined up with them. Then, at shows, I would park with one tire properly set to read everything, then jack up and rotate each other one so all were correct. Be surprised how many people noticed that at shows....

I still look at the tires, wheels, and caps being out of alignment but my back says I better not worry...........but my mind......and the GT/CS has the wheels with the GT on them.....

A/c vents also.....seat positions......I have even thought of a second rear antenna on the drivers side.......aaaaahhhhhh........must stop thinking.......

 

Sometimes being OCD sucks..

 

I used to do that but I didn't like the look of the plugs I had to use in the original valve stem holes after I relocated them.

 

Seek help....

 

This explains alot.

 

Okay, this is making me look disturbed. I don't move them on a daily basis, but when it came from the factory it wasn't right. I consider the valve stem the bottom of the wheel and the center cap must be straight when the valve is at the bottom. This can't be THAT crazy, it can't, it can't.

 

"It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again."


No, not crazy.

 

I think way too many people have too much free time... Except for those that are busy aligning the inside vents...excuse me I have vents to work on.

 

Hmm when I installed my wheel locks I placed them on the same lug in relation to the center cap on all wheels. Guess we are all a little off in some respect. Some more then others..

 

I guess there are a few of us who have some OCD quirks. For me its that vent alignment thing and yes sometimes being OC does suck.

 

I have the vent thing. I also dust the dash when I sit in the car waiting for more then
20mins.

 

I can vouch for this man. Very particular. So I leave mine all messy just to wind him up.

 

Oh good grief, they'll let anyone in 'ere now

Indeed...!

 

Seems the Brits have taken over the nightshift

(apologies for the thread hijack!)

 

Excuse me for a minute. I need to go out and move my locking nuts, right after I align the vents. At least thanks to this thread the wife will have something to do on future ride-alongs; I am handing her the dash duster as soon as she gets in the car.

 

I am only OCD about having the car locked. I hit the lock button 3 or 4 times and hear it honk at me a bunch. :-)
