well.. i was driving on la paz today going to home depot to get a stupid blue tarp thing to cover something.. and to stop by taco bell 'cause i was hungry. i'm driving on la paz in the middle lane following a volvo c70. not tailgating, but there was mild traffic so there were a lot of cars around me. the volvo hit a pressurized can of some sort with me behind him. it went under his car and covered his car in whatever it was.. got on my car a little on the sides and covered my wheel well.. 'cause i had to roll over whatever it was.. i pull into the home depot parking lot and check to see what's up, i whipe some of it off. it looks like whipped cream or smoething.. so i'm like alright.. i'll just go home and wash this crap off. shitty event. yeah i got home and soon learned that it was a latex sealant. that **** did NOT come off. i sat there picking at it carefully for a few hours and got some of it off.. called some body shops. they basically said i was fucked. took the claybar to work and got almost everything on the paint off. but i'm ridiculously tired and i didn't want to take my wheels off tonight so i stopped. shitty situation that couldn't have been avoided though. the whole underside of the volvo was covered though.. and also the whole front side. that bitch.
please excuse my dirty car. haha

If you end up finding a good deal on trim (along the bottom of your door) as I see you got the crap on that too, let me know because I need those pieces too.

 

Well, did we learn a lesson? Just kidding. Yeah, that crap is about as hard to get off as the paint that they use to paint the lines.

 

Yeah I have some line paint in my driver side wheels wells..

 

freeway junk pisses me off... I hit a friggin 2x4 one day in my previous A4 and it took a massive chunk out of my bumper. One of those events that can't be avoided, so it makes you even more angry.
