I’d think the same if he picked me up and didn’t bother cleaning up the inside of his car. Just not a good first impression.

Agreed, My wife still brags about how clean my truck was on our first date.

Ah, but would she have been mad to know you cleaned it yourself instead of paying a detailing shop to?

Being picked up by a guy that just cleaned his car just for me, PRICELESS, and it has nothing to do with money. Apparently your wife was smart enough to figure it out. It is the message you send and there is a time and a place for coupons. Clean cars should be a given though.
