Big Ouch
I can't bring myself to take a photo yet.
Driving along today on my way home from a home showing, a Hyundai driver blew past me and almost sideswiped me. I veered and regained my lane only to have him kick up a piece of asphalt shingle that had been in the roadway. I was unable to avoid it and it smacked the front of my car and exploded in pieces flying over my head.
I pulled over and looked at the car I almost threw up. Scratches and tar smeared over the nose of my previously pristine SC. The good news was that the debris flew over my head (I had the top down) and another driver pulled over to see if I was OK. There are some nice folks still left in the world.
Friday night. I think I will have a BIG drink.
I'll post a photo when I sober up.

I'm glad YOU weren't hurt.
It's amazing how fast these things can happen. YOU WERE LUCKY.
A nurse that worked with my wife died in a crash last month. She was on the interstate. Another driver stopped to rescue a cat on the road and he ran right in front of her car. He was plastered across her windshield and she lost control and died in the crash.

SCDROPTOP has arranged a guy to come and see if we can wet sand and buff. I'll know after we try it. The good news is that the photos look like damage to the trim but in reality its tar from the shingles. I know I will need a little touch up but I'm crossing my fingers!
Some of the "dots" are from recent rain. Sorry for the huge pics!

The car was buffed and waxed today. The transformation was great. I am impressed. The scratches on the chrome and grill are definitely there and it will need to be replaced eventually, but I have to hand it to Wilson Zamora at Dallas Detailing & Buffing. He worked like a Trojan and did a great job. I'll post pics when its light enough outside to see the great results.
