Default I was wheat blasted today....:(

On my way to lunch today I was on the interstate and was getting hammered by wheat. My hood, mirrors, front fascia, rear fenders, rocker panels and rear bumper all will now have to be repainted...

I went and got an estimate and it looks like it will be close to $2K to have those items repainted...

On the positive side I have a TON of wheat in my engine compartment that I can make some wheat bread out of....

Oh well..

Adam

Wheat? can we see some photos of a wheat ruined vette? I never knew you can ruin a car from wheat. No wheat storms where I live. Just smog.

Wow, and I thought I had all the bad luck It does sound like a good way to get your paint repaired from the dumb azz that detailed your car. By the way...... what happened with that?

If I were you, I'd park it for a few weeks and see a witch doctor and have the spell removed. David
