    We've had SOOOO much tree pollen and schmutz falling on my car lately, it was hideous - so today I took it to the hands off car wash and it looks oh so much better now. Just in time, supposed to start raining tomorrow night. :crazy:

    I also missed out on a deal, all month of May the local wash has offered free washes, 10¢ a gallon discount on gas and a free coke to teachers! I didn't find out till today cause I haven't bothered to wash it since the trees were pissing crap down on it so badly. :frown2:

    Denver International Airport had an impressive hail storm and funnel clouds Wednesday. Unfortunately my car was at the airport; in uncovered parking. I am trying to decide if the headache is worth it to call the insurance company. I love my JCW and plan to keep it. I bought it used and it already had some character minor scratches and dings. You have to really look hard in the right light to see all the minor dimples.

    Depending on your deductible, I would claim it... If you are fine with the damage, it could turn into a decent check in your pocket, and who doesn't want that...

    New housing community + dump trucks driving up and down the road + mud and snow and you get this. This was Sunday and wasn't the worst. I was too angry the first time this happened to take a picture but I couldn't see out of my front window. It looked like someone took a bucket of mud and threw it on.... Almost purposeful.

    Dirt and grime does something really different to a white car. I love it!

    Yikes. I had something similar happen to me once and I was pretty angry because the guy evidently was trying to wipe the evidence off of my car with his sleeve (wtf). I made him rinse it off with deionized water (no water spots...wee!).

    Those "dent-less" repair places can completely remove those dents (assuming they can get to the back side)..... Without the need to do body work and paint... Get is fixed or it will forever bug you every time you clean your MINI...

    :lol:

    The color hides a lot of dirt. It's pretty damn filthy in the snow shots.
