My car was just attacked by a car wash!
I am still stunned. I went through one of those brush-less car washes just before I came home. At the end you sit under the dryer while watching a timer go from 90 to 0 and then you are through drying the car. So I always try to make sure I get the best of the dryer because I don't like water spots.

Anyway I am sitting there and I hear this BANG! And it sounds very much like the time some kid hit my car with a grapefruit. So I drive out and sure enough there is this slight but visible DENT in the roof of my car!

This car is supposed to have one of those features where if something round hits you the dent is supposed to pop out by itself. That is what happened with the grapefruit.

I went back into the Site Station and filled out a form and got copies and who knows what is going to happen. It is a 2001 Camry with only 30,000 miles on it.

I want to go back to bed and start over tomorrow.

1. How bizarre
That sucks - I hope you can get some sort of compensation for it. I know at my car wash, when I had my old car, they always told me before I went through that they would not be responsible for any damage to my quarter panel because it was dented and had a piece that stuck out a little bit. They were always afraid it would get snagged on something but it never did.

2. It is bizarre. And nothing touched it. It was just the force of air from
the dryer. This does not make me comfortable about being in a rollover with this car.

did you get it???

They say to see it, even if you don't know the meaning, works very positively.

I hope your car is healed!

5. Go here first. I also downloaded the greatest screen saver.
http://www.dharma-haven.org/tibetan/digital-wheels.htm

It is a free trial for 7 days and then only $3.00 to buy it. It is the letters of the prayer wheel in different colors going around without the prayer wheel. And several go at the same time.

I think these things work even if they are on a computer.
