Default Leak scare...

I walk out to my car this morning as I'm going to drive it for the first time in a week... gorgeous day, mid-70's and she's all clean/waxed.

As I walked around the back there was liquid pooled just behind the bumper on the ground. It came from up under the car and was very sticky. I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it was because it wasn't oil so I was thinking transmission fluid, power steering, etc. Anyway... I didn't see anything dripping off the car, so backed it out into the daylight to get a better look.

Freakin' kids must have spilled a drink under the car somehow... picked up the cup and left the mess. I got brave and tasted it... it's certainly sweet and not coming from the car... looks like it ran from right under the passenger's door. My bet is they dropped it getting out of the minivan, spilled it all under my car and went about their business.

I swear my heart stopped when i saw it though.

Man... I didn't think about the dog... glad it was sweet and not salty.

I am looking forward to getting out of work, putting the top down and enjoying the weather!

Wish I wasn't setting here. It's way to nice out. Tops down tomorrow. See you at 3:30?

BTW: Is you car a boy or girl? And are you sure that came from the kids?

Hmmmm.

What is your reference point to know about the "salty" and what it represents. You must have enjoyed some crazy partying!

Perhaps your dog is diabetic That's how they diagnosed diabetes in the good ol' days!

I am planning to be there! Top's down, car's cleaned up, vacuumed, etc. I even talked my wife into coming down. She is getting into photography and figured there'd be some good shot opportunities.

Look forward to meeting you!
