Typically I do as well -- but sometimes it hits a little too close to 
home, 'tis all.

I'm not worrying too much about cleaning the bag, as anything put into it 
via one opening will surely leack through all the others.  I may end up 
using the hood piece briefly, but it is in bad shape, cosmetically.  
Everything else is already clean and clear: that's one of the first 
things I do.

Ya - it is all operating just fine, and I've been able to "hook it up" 
outside of the car.  Pumping only air right now, though, thanks to the 
bag.
