Flood must have washed all the Bad Guys down the river last summer. I have never thought of Cedar Rapids as Podunkville.

I to use the leaf blower all the time.Haven't had no problems drying my 69 camaro no scratches. KNOCK ON WOOD!!!

I'm really picky about where I park... I rarely park next to other cars if I can help it.

Oh, leafblower = bad.

Just remove sprayer and let the water run out of the hose to remove most of the water... works very well. Get a couple cotton towels, done deal.

I feel your pain! I posted earlier last week about my 2 door dings in 1 day. It's just amazing how hard it is to keep something in tip top shape isn't it?

tjbusa · 07-16-2009, 03:33 PM

Yes to the leafblower, just don't get so close. Mine is a 200mph gas sears model and near is good enough.

derin11 · 07-16-2009, 03:34 PM

every Picture i take only takes the glare of the clearcoat, all i can say is it look like about 4 scrapes right behind the Front left wheel, right near the CAMARO Emblem, Its not that deep, the paint isnt really Off, But u can definatly tell that its been scraped by another car

derin11 · 07-16-2009, 03:36 PM

Well someone dinged my door a couple weeks back. Then last friday some fool pulled out in front of me and messed up my front right side. His insurance is fixing everything and the shop manager even said he'll fix the ding for free. You could drive around looking for an idiot to hit you. shouldn't be hard seeing how many wrecks there have been already. lol. J/K, it really does suck.

I thought it would be a good idea to blow the water off of my car and scraped the hood with the end of it.
