The wind and I are totally not speaking right now. The wind
is so on my shit list. Adam and I were driving home from Dayton
on
Friday, through a windy hailing rain storm, and I
had just leaned my seat back to take a little nap. All
of
a sudden
there
was tons
of
really
loud noise and all this black stuff hitting the windshield!
I thought for a second that I was falling out of the car, and
Adam thought we were getting bombed! We couldn't figure out
what the hell was hitting our car. We figured maybe it was
from the car in front of us, perhaps a windshield wiper blade
or something?
The next day, when it stopped raining, I discovered that that
horrible noise hadn't been some random thing slamming
into my car, but actually the entire strip of trim on the driver's
side door from the front windshield all the way to the back!
Ugh! It's going to cost $111 to fix. Insurance would've covered
it, but my deductible is $500. I just spent a bunch of money
getting my car all tuned up and running
great so I want to fix this up so that it also LOOKS nice.
Isn't the wind such a bastard?
Here are some photos. The first photo is the passenger's side,
which is still intact. The next two photos are the driver's
side, which is all torn up.
