On our way back from the reservoir, we saw your car parked in Sutter Creek (or whatever small town that was). Did you hear the subies roll through?

The effects of the twisties finally caught up to her, and if I didn't pull over when/how I did, she was gonna redecorate the Scoobie's interior.
The car's fine...I did a little curb grind on the trans x member...no biggie.
And for Lance's hood....
As I was talking to Lance, who was sitting in his car, I stuck my right hand into my right pocket to remove my car keys.
At that instant, I simutaneously attempted to wave to Larry.
This caused the keys to fly through the air and skip of Lance's hood.
I quickly looked at the hood, but couldn't see any damage due to the bug guts and sun glare, but asked Lance to inspect further and let me know if I damaged anything.
I feel really stupid for that.
