Big Mistake

So I made a big mistake the other day.

I was in a rush to get to work in the morning so that I wouldn't be late. I drove through the parking lot to only find one spot open. It was under the light pole (the only one in 100 yds) of course. I figured I would take my chances versus the other repercussions.

Guess I paid the price.

I had that happen on a first date at a fancy restaurant downtown, the only parking spot I could find was under some trees, so as we are walking back to the car I see what happened and my jaw drops, my sky had close to 100 bird hits on it... it had been freshly detailed the day before >.< I feel your pain man.

Also get that cleaned asap if it isn't already, it's Realllly bad for the paint.

I feel your pain. But I keep spare detailing stuff in my trunk for situations like this. Then again, that's a lot more then I would plan for.

True- The only spot of any kind on my SS is on the factory IO stripes from a bird poop.
I didn't see it for a couple days and I have a small melted spot on the trunk.
The trick is to get it off ASAP.
