I have one of those unlimited deals at the car wash.

I just pay a little extra to have it mucked out a couple of times a month.

Yeah, it would be fine minus kids. Can’t always get to the carwash when a milk shake tips over in the backseat!

One more reason to remind you to take out your watch and look at it.

Most of the time I am talking to a client and I need to quickly glance down and see it. I don't always remember today's date and even if I do I like to make sure it's right.

It's just habit. Before I bought my SD in february I hadn't worn a watch for years and didn't miss having one.after wearing it for about two months I go crazy if I don't have it on me. If you only are used to wearing watches without date you probably won't miss it.

I respect your view on cloth seats. I find the leather car seat obsession about as silly as the preoccupation with granite countertops. Worst is when people freak out about scratches on the leather
Always had "beaters" with a date and specced our classic with velvet/dralon chairs with leather bolsters,,didnt want all leather and much nicer in summer and winter,,,,,jay
