Not to be a downer, but what happens if you get a flat in an air bag. Tow truck or repair kit?

 

Wow & I thought $3.18 a gallon here was bad. Yikes!

 

Hmmmm...this might be time for a fillup STATESIDE, then.

 

$3.97 a gallon Chevron 92 here........

 

Thanks Dave.O I'll try that on my wheels.

 

washed my car. Went inside. Came out shortly afterwards to find that I got dive bombed by birds.

 

When washing cars where my parents lived in North Carolina there was a nest of bluebirds near by and they absolutely hated clean cars and would fly overhead like WWII bombers and drop several loads on the newly wash ride. After their bombardment they were happy and leave the area.

 

Same thing happened to me Tuesday. Took them 10 minutes to discover my car. Happened in a darned parking lot. Not a tree or power line anywhere close. Bastids!!!

 

I'm sure you know it's all because of your car's color. It NEVER happens to mine and I've had it since my S was new in 2006. I even park it outside and under trees during our usual hot and humid summers. So, I am certain it's because of your purty blue or red MINIs. Mine is "bird shit" Royal Grey.

 

Birds be birds......

 

Ford = Found On Road Dead, Fix Or Repair Daily.

Don't mess with the birds folks.

 

N/A. Right in the middle of the black stripe on a Thunder Grey body.

 

I love my Royal Grey S and the birds, I guess, don't seem to mind it as much as other colors, so it remains basically untouched for some occasional windshield splatter.

 

Wow !! Nice job on winning the car show.

 

Thanks for the update Dave.

 

I saw Teddy's engine bay last year... simply stunning! Congrats on the win!
