Man, thats a crying shame for sure. I can semi relate. I had a Ford Tauras I purchased from a customer (hold the jokes, this thing was sweeeet) for the low low that his Mother had owned. It only had 14k on the clock when I took delievery so it was a great daily driver
Anyhow, me and my wife decided to go on a canoe trip to look for Bald Eagles @ Meeman Shelby Forrest State Park one weekend. The park ranger had everyone follow each other in there own vehicles to a remote location where the canoes were waiting on us
Well, as always, I picked the wrong parking spot. (I parked under a 100 year old dead tree) We had just launched are canoe into the swamp when suddenly I heard the unmistakable sound of a tree dropping (do I have to say more) These 2 ladies came paddling up to us wanting to know if we were driving a white car. I replied, why yes, as a matter of fact we are. Why did a tree fall on it or something. She replied, why yes, as a matter of fact it did and you should check it out
We decided it would do no good to stop are adventure at that moment so we continued on. By the time we were done and got back to the car there were 4 or 5 park rangers at the scene trying to decide what to do. I was in a bit of shock myself when I saw the condition of my whip. The tree had landed mainly on the LR quarter panel/trunk area. It totally smashed it in and bent the axle. The rangers informed me to retrieve my car I would have to have someone cut the limbs off and call a wrecker service. I asked if I could try to drive it out and they said they couldn't allow that because of the safety factor
Well, I waited untill these guys were pre occupied and slipped into my car and commensed to give it a go for myself. I was ripping and roaring, going from low gear to reverse with the pedal to the medal. I finally got that sucker free from the tree. My car was a real site to see, but amazingly it was still driveable, but was totaled. I ended up with a pretty nice settlement from the insurance company, but quite honestly, I would have rather just had the car in the mint condition it was in
Sorry about the long winded story. Sometimes my mind takes these trips down memory lane and for some reason I feel I must relive them
ut:
) I applied a coat of Z5. What I did differently was to apply a thin coat without moistening the foam applicator with Z6. To my surprise the results were improved. It dried faster, removed easier and appears to fill-in the minor swirls better. Has anyone else noticed or tried this procedure? I guess this is like applying Z5 full strength.
i only use a damp applicator for Z2....i use Z5 dry...im not sure why...i think DK or somebody told me once...good results too....i think alot of people are coming around to using Z5 alone...and never bothering with Z2...i still use it but sparingly
