I was there flying the R/C blimp for the game, and the car for a prize game did not show up, so they used my 7!!

The fans threw rubber footballs at the car trying to get them in the sunroof to win a prize (3 made it in).

No damage to the car at all!!!

Might even be on TV!!!!!!

Hope to have better pictures next week, these where taken with a cell phone.

I was definetly nervous about getting some kind of dent!! the dry rub with a towel was the worst of it. Nothing some Meguiar's fine cut cleaner and wax cant handle.

The footballs were made from a thin silicone rubber or somthing real soft and squishy and filled with air, fairly small to, 5-6 inch long. This was a one time thing, wont do it to her again thats for sure!
