Unhappy Nasty story from the road - EWWWWWW - GROSS!

My cousin who lives in Amsterdam - The Netherlands came for her annual visit last week. She hadn't seen my car yet so I spent many hours last week detailing and getting her all ready to show off. We were driving along route 95 just north of Wilmington, DE and I was in the s-l-o-w lane as my cousin was getting car sick from the maneuverability of the car so at that point I was just driving like it a "normal" car.

In the fast lane was a Volvo wagon about 500 yards in front of me. All of the sudden a groundhog crosses the road and unfortunately catches the right rear tire of the Volvo. I actually watched the groundhog get crushed under the tire. The next thing I know I get "sprayed" with debris. I was horrified at the thought of having to get all of the groundhog's guts off my car but then I noticed something even worse. The debris was brown, not red, not fleshy and not furry, just brown. When I got home I realized that the groundhog literally got the sh@t squeezed out of him when he got crushed!

The "stuff" washed off my well waxed car quite easily but unfortunately, a big hunk of it hit the driver's side radiator and got wedged in there. It put Dawn brand dishwashing liquid on a toothbrush and had to stick it though the grill so I could clean the radiator. Good thing I have relatively small hands. What a nasty thing to have happen when you are trying to show off your car.

Sorry about your $hitty day

Glad that you didn't have any damage to your car!! But it is pretty funny that the groundhog **** sprayed your car...LOL Also...I hope you rinsed off your wife's toothbrush before you put it back...LOL (makes me think of the Seinfeld episode!!)

Wife? Heck no man, I'm not married. If I was then there is no way I could afford a 997. I wonder how may guys who are married really want a car like this and do have the money but the wife won't "allow" it because it's not practical.
