So, last Thursday afternoon I finally had a chance to wash my MM after all the driving in the rain getting to MV9 and after playing 'bug catcher' on the way home. Had plans to head up to Asheville (250 mile/just under 4hr drive) to see my kids for the weekend, so I had to get her all spiffy. It's amazing how 'bling' the wheels can be with a good wash and application of (insert favorite tire shine product here)!!!
Put on my MV9 t-shirt, hung the lanyard off the rearview mirror, grabbed my Marauderville flag and put in on the rear passenger window, drivers side. Left my house and 15 minutes later was merging onto the interstate going WOT until I hit 80mph....
About 45 mins later, I hear this tapping/knocking sound; takes me several minutes to figure out what the heck it could be. My initial thought was, "why the hell is CBT on the roof of my car and what the hell is he knocking for?", but then I realize it must be my flag making that noise. So, I adjust the side mirror to see my flag, and there it is, flopping around, hanging on by a thread. It had broken/snapped at the base and I could tell is was going to fly off soon. I then thought, "I need to pull over and take it down before it completely flies off". Within 5 seconds after that thought goes through my mind, POOF, there it goes, landing in the road behind me, then CRUNCH, the car that was behind me runs over it. NOOOOOOOooooooooo!
Were there any extras left over from MV9? If so, how much $$$ to get another one? I took a pic of what was left still attached to my MM (not much) and will post it on this thread later....
