Hey Guys;
Just thought I`d vent a little. I was driving to work in my little blue RSX, when I saw ahead (about half a block) a couple guys in the street with a machine. Couldn`t really tell what they were doing, but I wasn`t really awake enough to care. As I got closer, I realized that it was one of those "cement cutters"--you know, the ones that spit the water over the blade and make a gash in the cement? Little did I know that the area I was about to drive through had already been "scored," and all I heard as I flew by was the familiar "swish-swish" as If I`d gone over a puddle. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You know what happened next. I pulled over, looked at the side of my Trade Secret-donned car, and saw splatter marks of cement all down the side. Now, it`s not as bad as it seems, though. You see, It comes off rather easily, like it was a thick & dry mud substance, but I ran to one of those solar car washes to blast it off. Since I have about 4 coats of really good wax on here, it all blasted off in a matter of seconds. That is, until I peeked in the wheel wells. They were bright TAN with cement. AHHHHH again! Blasting, blasting I did, but I knew that if this is under here, my undercarriage must be just as bad. Sure enough, that night I threw Ol` Blue up on the ramps to reveal concrete splatter all over. On the block, the exhaust, over brake lines, EVERYWHERE. I grabbed some Palmolive and went to work with a scrub brush and a towel. I got to halfway down the car and got all pooped out. I`ll be finishing the rest of the bottom tomorrow.
At least it looks like new again down there!
Console me.
