Default Oh no! Oh, wait…
Pulled into the garage and put on my electronic curb feeler (front camera) to guide me in. The image looked like something from a science fiction movie. I figured the camera failed and imagined having to take the car to a dealer and on and on. When I got out and looked at the front, I realized that I had the bra on the front for a long drive tomorrow, hence the weird image as the camera looks through the bra fabric.

So, all’s well after all and my C8 continues to perform flawlessly.

Next time I’ll do an in-depth post on cleaning the rear window and keeping wash water out of the engine compartment. Stay tuned.

Oh come on folks! I found some humor in the OP start to this thread and interesting photo. Tough crowd!

In fact and to match acroy's sentiment above, I laughed out loud and it sounded like this: bra-ha-ha; bra-ha-ha; bra-ha-ha!!

I'll wish everyone a great w/e!
