Default DAMN IT!!! How many times has this happend to u?

i woke up and decided i should wash my car. it's my day off and i want to get something done b4 i go back to that hell hole i call my job. i was just going to wash it, but i decided to use the clay bar i bought a few days ago. so then im done with the clay bar, and im not too tired so i decide to go get my wax, i was going to put some scratch x on, but decide not to cause it looked like it could possibly maybe rain. and i put this stuff on by hand, the scratch x really kicks my ***. i checked the forecast, 20% chance of rain, im like man thats nothing, i put on a coat of gold class, and half way done with it, it starts ******* raining . the car is under a roof right now, but some areas r getting wet. but now im tired and bumbed. does this ever happen to yall? i need to get me a place with a garage!!!!!
but on the up side the car is smooth as hell and shiny! for the moment

I love when it rains here and the sun is still out. Then all the shitty rain water dries up on your car and it looks like ***.
