Default Are you also OCD?

Installing Fister III's would take about twenty minutes per side, but for my OCD. For some reason I feel the need to polish each of the stainless clamps. All of my projects seem to take twice as long while I clean everything in sight. Reminds me of the **** retentive chef of SNL.

I'm not sure this qualifies as OCD. I think OCD would have you remove the whole exhaust system and polish it as well.

Please wear a mask when polishing.

Here is a shot that would truly drive an OCD'r batty.

Regards,

Yeah, but did you go to two hardware stores to get chrome/stainless bolts and nuts for the clamps?

I don't see a problem here. But, the polishing I enjoy most is done with a drink while watching
someone elses technique

Many Porsche owners have OCD like behaviors
One can pick most of them out by the Q-Tips in their shirt pocket.
