Your Car Belongs In Your Garage

Remember when you were a kid and helicopters were the coolest thing ever? I don't mean the choppers in the sky, but rather the seed-like things that fall from trees that look like some sort of tan-colored sushi appetizer for birds and squirrels. You know, those things that when they fall, spin around like a helicopter.

Well here's the deal, as cool as those things were when we were kids, that's how much they suck now that we're adults. I say this because this morning after realizing that my car spent the night in the driveway instead of the garage, I had to spend a little extra time cleaning those pesky bastards off my windshield and hood. You'd think that it's not a big deal, that simply driving to and fro would cause the helicopters to fly away, but you'd be wrong! Not only do they not fly away, they bond to your vehicle with some sort of super adhesive that Mother Nature provided as if only to serve as the bane of your existence.

These things break off and leave behind a sticky carcass that even your garden hose can't clean off. No, you have to make a concerted effort, complete with serious elbow grease, to clean off the residue. Tis the season to be annoyed and to be alerted. Don't be fooled by the nice weather, don't be lazy at night, park your car in the garage to avoid the eventual frustration. This is my gift to you!
