Default It never fails....

Why is it everytime you clean / wax / finish your car to an ultimate pristine shine... take it for a nice spin on the highway and some clown a few cars ahead decides its a good time to clean his windshield.

Its usually not the guy directly in front but the next guy in front or even a lane over. Its residual spray from someone up there, not a "take that and get off my ***" reaction.

Seems to always happen the first drive after spending hours on a good cleaning.

My parking lot in Sudbury is filled with sea gulls with urgent digestive issues.

Wash the car, go to work at the port and I swear the seagulls are laughing, not squawking.

Coolant lines have never leaked in the 16 years of its life. So I get the coolant lines pinned and first track weekend it starts leaking.

My 996 was black ... gorgeous when clean, but swore never again

Close... darkish meteor grey.

Driving along... clear skies... enjoying the first drive of the year. ...all of a sudden light spray appears on the windshield. Look up. Not raining?
Blue skies
Frak....
