Got a problem...
Why is it that I can't go to Canadian Tire withour buying atleast $40 worth of crap I don't need or have lots of.
I was just there and came home with a whole frikin bag of junk: shop towels, WD40, tremclad, leather cleaner, bah...
... I must be getting better though cause I watched the 30 minute video on ZMax and somehow managed to get out of the store without buying it. pheeew close call - I was shakin a bit on the way home but I think I am alright now.

Car care products are an addiction. Just last week I bought:
- RainX gel/wax Wash (blue with green wax beads)
- Meg. Shine/Polish
- Mother's Aluminum polish
- and misc. wash clothes etc.
The only thing I went into buy was the wash clothes. The other stuff I've heard great things about, so I "had to try 'em".... it's like crack.
I still haven't had a chance to use either one of 'em. Anyone else use these products?

It's funny that you bring that up....exact same thing happened to me all the time. can't stop whenever I am there(CT)
Car care stuff filled up 2 shelfs in my Garage. Some of them I can't even remember until I'm doing spring clean-up.
Whole bunch of light bulbs, 6 stocks, 2 euronite, 4 brake lights & 2 sets of brake pads for my Civic, 8 NGK spark plugs.
I guess it's pretty common with all the "car freak" like you and me! We just love our car! 
$$$ that I spent on my girl...not even close to half of the amount that I spent on my cars!
regards,
Mugen C

I'm in the same boat Jeff...
"You can't afford that.."
"You already have a shamoise at home"
"You don't need that on your car"
Ohhhhh but when its time to fix up her car a bit?
"Hunny, can you goto Canadian Tire and get me some wiper blades"
and the best one
"What grade oil should I put in my car? Maybe we can stop by Canadian Tire on the way back and see"
(sighs)
Regards,
OK

I'm the same way except with Future Shop! There are lots of DVD's that I want but then my girlfriend reminds me that I already have it on VHS or whatever but then I refute her claims by pointing out that the DVD now has Special Features so then it's different!!
