Default Will Instant Detailer Fix This?

So, Long Island, New York was hit yesterday with torrential rain, and 45 mph winds gusting up to the high 50 mph range. Maybe some instant detailer, and it'll be good as new. (Luckily, no one was hurt. This was in my neighbourhood.)

The wind should have obeyed the speed limit and it would have been fine!

Oyster Bay is on the north shore of Long Island, I live on the south shore, so approximately 20 miles south.

Remember them 85mph winds last year?

I actually had to close the car wash down as we were unable to do anything.

50 mph winds are not unusual around here, we start to get more concerned when it reaces 100.

LOL... EVERYWHERE on Long Island is only a few miles from Old Country Rd, that's why I said it - it must be the longest road on the planet - that seems to wind around everywhere!

Lol

It's not that long. Maybe a 20 minute drive without traffic. It's exclusive to Nassau County, and runs East / West from Plainview to Garden City. Jericho Turnpike on the other hand spans the entire north shore, from Queens to Orient Point. While Route 27 spans the entire south shore. Both roads can potentially take hours even without traffic. Rt. 27 being the worse of the two, especially during the months of summer, since it passes through the Hamptons.

I saw something similar in Rhode Island in about 91, was watching it unfold, neighbours car got squished like that only not as bad (still a write off) and all sorts destoyed, was wearing shorts and squatted down, felt a sharp pain in my bollocks, a huuuge Wasp had taken refuge up my shorts and was upset when I moved, ****** stung me four times, three round my goolies and once when it fell out and I stamped on it in bare feet

Worst bit was persuading my mates mum that she didnt need to take a look, she was very concerned as it was quite an impressive creature (the Wasp, not my bollocks) and a lot stingier than its European cousins, I just toughed it out, I really couldnt get my head round her inspecting, was mainly worried about getting a boner !
