Default Stupid bird!

How do birds know that I just washed my car. Spent almost an hour making everything perfect and shiny. Thought I'd go for a short little cruise. I didn't get 5 blocks from home before a bird crapped a big one dead center on the hood. Then it splattered all across the windshield. It never fails :mad

Ya, or you just washed the car, and someone's sprinkler head is off track. Even thought it hasn't rained in a week, there is a nice puddle of water which you will be forced into by other cars, and splash water all over your freshly washed car, wheels, and wheel welds. :mad
