Unexpected present at the post office So the temp reached a warm 32 in chicago today and figured I would take the camaro out of storage since all the roads are dry. So I have to mail something at the near by post office and parallel parked in the front. I come out 5 mins later and here's my present:
Of course the one day I take the car out this winter, and woo! I was pissed at first (looked worse since that photo is after I cleaned off the paint), but when I looked at it close I figured I would be able to buff it out and calmed down. So took out my trusty porter cable and went at it. Took a few mins to get em out, but they are gone with some light 3M rubbing compound. Then finished up with the other basic steps.

MasterOfPuppets - Similar happened to me one night, but it was a can of pepsi and a cup of coffee throw at and spilled all over the hood. I was a lot more pissed over that then this.
JackZ28 - Thanks. But um ya... its not illegal to park in front of the post office... At least none that I have seen in my lifetime?

MadIce when I started reading this and I knew it was your car I was like NOOOooo. But as I read that it wasn't major I relaxed. Like I have told you before you have one of the nicest looking LS1's on the site. Glad everything is ok.
