Unbelievable mess of a car I had to work on! Luckily just an oil change (M1). I told the service writer refuse it next time or give it to someone else. I actually have a collection of hoarder's cars pictures, but this one is off the charts. Check out the shifter. It's completely obliterated except for the very top. Floor is so cluttered as to be of course unsafe. Seat wouldn't back, either.

From the looks of it,I bet it's a chick's car. Why are so many chicks total slobs?

BIOHAZARD
The car of a lady who asked me for help after purchasing a light bulb was filled to the point where only her torso and legs could fit into the cabin.
Her right arm could be supported by garbage.
Really odd. It was all food wrappers as far as I remember.

there's a few of those around here...
one local fella, every car he's had has looked like that... he always hangs out in the supercenter where i work overnight all winter.
until about 10 yrs ago, he owned 2 houses in town, next door to each other. they looked just like the cars.. he was in constant legal battles about the state of the properties with the city for a couple years. at one point he put 8-10 ft chainlink around both parcels, and told the city IN COURT that their property maintenance ordinances didn't apply to his property. he claimed Native American ancestry, and that his property was not part of the city, but a private reservation.
the city, of course, disagreed, and sent in code inspectors. found both houses unlivable, and the gentleman living in a Teepee in the back yard.
eventually the city demolished the 2 unsafe structures. not sure where he is living these days, or if he still owns those 2 parcels...
there's another regular customer, has a couple newspaper routes, in the past 5 years i've seen him go through 3 vehicles. each gets filled, and eventually the transmissions die. so far a 2 door blazer, a Grand Caravan, and a couple months ago he got a little KIA Rio sedan. it's already full.

They must run into all the full trash cans at the gas stations too. I have the same problem.

My girlfriend's car is pretty bad. Any time we go food shopping we have to take my car. No room in her car for groceries.
On the other hand, my car is emptied at the end of every day.

So that's how my Maxima got so dirty... I bought it from a woman, she would not let me open the trunk when I bought it (I must have shown up too early).
If something goes missing, they might accuse you
You will think I am making this up, but I am not!
When I was in high school in the early 80's, I worked at a Sears Tire & battery. We were given the tickets as they were wrote up inside the shop, and we would go outside and find the car and bring it in. I noticed a couple in their 30's walk in, and despite it being about 100 degrees out side, the rumpled guy with crazy disheveled hair had a suit and tie on that had to be 30 years old, and was badly stained. His wife wore a long flowing dress, also badly frayed and stained. You could smell these people from 10 ft. away.
One of my coworkers came back into the shop yelling "Oh Heck no I ain't working on that car!" We all went outside to see what was wrong. We found an old dilapidated station wagon, with windows opened just 1 inch, with 14 cats inside!!! The cats were going crazy ever time anyone approached the car. The car reeked of cat urine so bad you almost had to hold your breath while nearby. No one would even dare open the door, so the manager paged the people and got them to bring the car into the shop for tires. 14 cats and trash everywhere in a car in 100 degree heat! Imagine that!
