the same day. I ran out and found that the garden hose I was using
to clean up the oil spill had ruptured and was shooting a geyser
straight up, thirty-feet in the air.
Water was everywhere! Of course, I had laid the hose down
next to the driver's side, with the window rolled down, so not only
was the car drenched, but there was water in the car. New sport
seats wet, new carpet wet, door panels wet, and puddles on the
floor pans and rear seat bottoms. Could things get any worse? I
couldn't imagine so.
Fortunately, the car was painted inside and out so I was able to
sop-up the water completely with relative ease and the thin Perlon
RS carpets weren't hard to dry off. The new seats were not
affected either, fortunately.
My daughter walked out, smiled, and said, "Hey dad - your car's
waterlogged again!"
To be continued.
