Default All Shined Up

Today was one of those days. I washed her and waxed her using Adams car wash and Butter Wax. As I am finishing I look up and there is a flying ant on the hood. That little bugger is trying to walk and all he is doing is sliding. He slides right down the hood and hits the ground. I didn't feel the least bit sorry for him. He didn't belong on the hood.
