What Goofs have you done in/with your boxster lately (Good Laughs)

This one is much worse than the coolant tank debacle ... last summer I was spray painting some white patio furniture in the back yard, well away from the garage. Unfortunately, I had left the side man door open and I guess the wind was from the wrong direction and a cloud of overspray managed find a home down the side of my black car which was parked inside the garage. How bad does a person's luck have to be for this to happen? A few hours of hard rubbing with Nu Finish Scratch Doctor set the world right again, but geez I was upset at the time.

I was playing with my new 3000psi pressure washer, washing everything in sight really, and thought I could use it to was the cars as well. Did my black 99 Jeep Wrangler and noticed how well it peeled off bumper stickers....cool.

Then on to the Girl friends white 2004 Wrangler, before moving on the the Boxster.

I noticed her Wrangler has some stone chips and some bug goo, so I got in nice and close 6" to really get it clean.....whoa, paint flakes are lifting off right down to the primer...she's going to kill me...crap!

After that debacle I only use the sprayer on the Boxsters non-painted stuff. Works fantastic on the wheels and tires, no more brush scrubbing required...hooray!

I let the girl friend use it for cleaning the deck, and she promptly blew all the ceramic nic-nacs and a flower pot off the table, sneding them crashing to the ground.
Hehehe, I hated all those stupid looking nic-nacs and am happy to see them go. Now I ought to show here the high power setting...[Evil Grin]

A couple of weeks ago I was replacing the shift boot and e-brake cover on my car since they were original and looking rather worn. After reading how to pull the shift knob off the car with lots of warning on how it will give and wack you in the head upon release - I carefully pulled, and pulled, and pulled - finally it came free and I managed to not wack myself in the head.......unfortunately upon release my body shot up and my shoulder hit the rearview mirror causing it to fall to the ground with a large chunk of the windshield still attached.........nice .

So for those looking to change the shift boot, don't wack your head AND don't break with windshield.

A clay bar will save you lots of rubbing! The bar will remove overspray without much of a wimper.

For the next time!
