Car Trouble

Just wanted to share a little problem we ran into today.  This morning Ryan drove to work and went inside.  About a half hour after he started, a coworker walked into his room and told him there was tar all over his car!  Turns out Ryan drove at least 1/2 mile through freshly laid tar on his way to work!  So he rushed home and woke me up out of a dead sleep to figure out what to do.  The car looked pretty bad and he was really worried I might kill him, or cry, or worse!  The photo actually makes it look like it wasn't too bad, but the tar was caked on the entire vehicle and it was very thick in some places.

Needless to say after a quick Google search, I came across some suggested tar removing products.  We drove straight to Napa and Ryan bought two different types; turtlewax bug and tar remover and tarminator.  After 4 bottles of cleaner, the better part of my day and Ryan's evening, our car was clean.  However, the undercarriage and wheel wells will never be the same.  Thank goodness it came off, we were both pretty nervous! 

Clay wasn't sure what to think, he just watched us work all day!  But his smile sure can make any day seem like the best day ever! 

Hopefully construction will be done soon (this is very wishful thinking).  But if we have anymore mishaps at least we know how to fix them!
