It's a GOOD thing it's Father's Day

There is NO eating or drinking in my car allowed at anytime.

Unfortunately, today I had cargo to transport and was forced to take my father's Navigator to work.

Therefore, he gets the Benz.

He went throguh the drivethru at Dunkin Donuts and got a coffee and a bagel or muffin (all I know is i was picking up crumbs at 10:30 tonight.)

HE DROPPED A MEDIUM REGULAR ALL OVER MY INTERIOR.

My Center Console is damaged, my shift boot is stained, all the wood has coffee all over it, the seats are stained, THE AC SWITCHES ARE F*CKED (switches are difficult to make stay in and the AC isn't blowing as strongly as it was), and there are 2 huge stains all over my front floor mats.

I'M PRETTY PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW.

So at 10:30 on Sunday Night, I was in the garage with my dashboard taken apart, cleaning every last bit of coffee.

It isn't the same as it was, but it's better than it looked.

Probably give it another run tomorrow, and obviously have to clean the floormats.

I can't beleive I didn't explode on him.
Thank God for Father's Day.

Sam

wow, that felt good to rant.

Do the best you can with the clean-up. Glad you kept your cool . It could have been much worse.

I know what that is like. My dad spilt two diet cokes into my cosole in the last two years. When that stuff dries it is the world's biggest pain to clean up
