    I decided to start getting my car ready for the ROE in a few weeks. I decided to wash my car with a pressure washer - OH CRAP wait till you see what I did. The pressure washer blew holes right through the car and destroyed the paint. WHAT THE FXXX DO I DO NOW?????

    I'll post pictures asap.

    Remove the spark plugs, pour in water, replace the plugs, and start. 4/1 is a good day to do all of these spring tune ups.

    Jim,

    Tried your suggestions, hoping that with 114 leaded gas, decatted and flux capacitor would give my car the necessary boost to finally put Allan in his place... I find that now my car sounds like a gurgling geriatric... what advise have you?

    I fill an entire scuba tank with NOS, breath deep, and put the pedal to the metal.

    My recommendations?

    Take it to Home Depot and convert it into a Lamarrosa for a truly exotic look.

    Tip: Don't use wall compound to fill the holes, they'll just dissolve next time you power wash it.

    I used to live with a guy who thought that everybody should walk around with a scuba tank filled tin NO2. Too bad about his motorcycle wreck.....

    Get a few gallons of Bondo and have at it -- the yellow color should cover well. You may want to try using yellow hardner in the Bondo.
    Good Luck.
