Thou shalt not use thy spouse's kitchen utensils and appliances (ie dishwasher) for cleaning car parts or otherwise.

Don't ask me how I learned this one.

Thou shall not remove all tile from the bathroom floor and then abandon the project to fix an oil leak on the Camaro.

To review....
1. Damn. I’m out on #1. But it is Friday afternoon.
2. How about his driveway? My d/w has an incline whereas his is flat. He is not afraid of his car rolling away.
3. Is my daily driver allowed out? The 77 is taking up 2 bays right now.
4. I’ll try. But that always costs me ice cream.
5. Done. Whew, 1 for 5!
6. Neighbor with said flat driveway has 3 mustangs. But I don’t really despise them. Just want to look better!
7. Agreed
8. Ok. 4 for 8, getting the average up.
9. Pass by default. Ask again in 15 years.
10. Agreed. Woo-hoo, I’ll book that as 5 for 9. .556 is good!

Thou has already broken most of the above commandments, and thou plans to break many more before thou gets put in the ground!

Well, I'm screwed. Gotta move the car out of the kitchen now, and go to confession.
