Ah crap is right. :cry: https://exoticsat.com/newsy/awwwcrap

Yep, very similar to my responses to the survey.

Interesting that the women and little girl in this pic could care less, but it really caught the boy's eye. Boys love their toys.

And that's a wrap on this road trip! Made it into Kirkland and pulled into my palatial imitation apartment building (sorry, Fletch fan here) right at my scheduled time of 1pm. Awaiting its more permanent, and equally palatial, private garage accommodation at the end of the month. Hope y'all...

But then, RAIN. Dang it, no rain was forecasted when I began this journey 2 days earlier so what's going on here? First a light mist. Ok, can deal with this. Then lots of traffic, semis, and blinding spray. Not great. Also during this time I noticed the rain sensing wipers don't sense all that...

So after a nice peaceful and pleasant drive through scenic mountains and very little traffic, it got boring and straight again. I think this was north of Eugene. And then it got exciting again and not in a good way, when a guy ran across the freeway in front of my car. Mind you this was probably...

I was having such a good time that I completely forgot about a gas stop. Yikes! Found myself in the middle of nowhere on fumes. Fumbling frantically through Apple maps, I located the ONLY stop for like 30 miles. Lucky LUCKY! Turned out to be a town called Wolf Creek, OR. Funky little...

Day 3 continued: So after my 5:15am-ish departure, I was treated to a wonderful sunrise mountain drive, appropriately accompanied by Rascal Flatts "Life is a Highway". :)

Day 3 (last day of my roadtrip). Def not the best day of the 3 but still some scenic beauty and an interesting drive. Until....the RAIN. More on that later. Anyway, had about 7 hours of drive time to Kirkland and targeted getting in around 1pm so I planned an early morning getaway from...

Sorry about that, and sounds good. But where'd you get that y'all from? (I'm originally from New Orleans).

Well as luck would have it looks like I won't be travelling out of town next weekend as expected. Soo.....reasonably good chance I'll be bringing the Emira here: https://exoticsat.com/special-events/british-car-day-1-rkgyg Who's with me? :cool:

Agreed! Maybe we should end the September contest right here! Well done!

Golden hour play date.

You're probably right about this, and the saving grace it that I'm still looking at Seneca Blue through those two creases rather than chipped off paint. That makes it much less noticeable. If this did happen on my roadtrip, took me a month to notice, and it's MY car so I'm naturally paying more...

You could be right (about being too big to self repair). If these did happen during my roadtrip, that was back in late July. The car's seen not a lot but at least some sun and heat since then, and still looks this way. Thanks for the caution on the heat gun. BTW what PPF brand did you use? Just...

Since the car is buried in the back of the garage today, I think I might try the hair dryer route first. That way I can start with low heat and ramp up as necessary. All the videos I’ve watched so far though seem to be for some really minor surface scratches whereas mine seem to be deeper...

Ok, thanks for the suggestion of hot water, but how hot? Like boiling? Or something less, like coffee/tea hot? And if it's too hot, do I risk lifting the PPF?

While washing my car in the daylight for the first time this weekend after my 3 day road trip up from SoCal (first wash was in an underground parking garage at my old condo building and lighting was a problem), I noticed my first front end nicks. I'm assuming from a rock hit during my journey...

My room, with a view of my car, as requested! Slept with the window open. :) Good night y'all. Edit to this: Had my ring camera sitting on the window ledge pointed at my car all night, armed and ready to alert me on my phone (with a dog bark)! Yes, overly paranoid I know!! Did have one old...

The reward at the end of day 2 !
