Car parts in the house

Car parts in the basement are one thing, but car parts in the living room is a whole ‘nuther level...
For me, i never got married, no wife or kids, stayed a bachelor, live alone, so having parts in the house for me, would be a perfectly normal thing.
Nobody telling me what to do, or not to do, in my living conditions.

I never brought home greasy, slimy, dirty, smelly, auto parts to rat hole away.
Since in the past, i was a wrenching, full time, auto mechanic, earning my living, i always has access to cleaning solvent tanks, pressure washers, cleaning cabinets, to get parts squeaky clean to be then stored away.
So i was always fortunate in that department.
