so yesterday I am driving home from work and im driving on a road that is having construction done on it, so there is a lot of debris around and on the road. Anyway all of a sudden i hear a loud BANG! and im like SH!T cause i am thinking the car ahead of me kicked up a rock from the road and it hit my car.

so i begin to search the windsheild and dont see any cracks...whew!...so i get out of the construction zone and keep driving and i hear it again, BANG!...this is starting to concern me....then i am stopped at a red light...BANG!...i go through the intersection pull over and turn off the car immediatly and go to open the hood...when i hear BANG! again with the car off...this gets me really worried...then i heard another noise that gave me a clue to what was going on...

ill give u a chance to guess



































i turn around and see in the back seat i had forgotten to take the 12 pack of Vanilla Coke that i bought the day before out of my car...it got so hot in my car sitting in the Texas sun while i was at work that with a little jostling from the car moving the cans were exploding!!! and they were really loud too!...there was fountain of vanilla coke coming out of the box in the back seat...

it really sucked, but in retrospect kinda funny

hahahah, oh crap, that is funny, what a weird story...
hope you clean it really good before a smell starts to develop in your car.

luckily it is somewhat of a new car, a year old, and whatever stain proofing they put on car seats now really works...a couple of rubs with a towel and it was almost completely gone...just then used a wet towel and it came right up :)

Yuck!

I had some homemade beers get hot in my car once... they were in flip top bottles and they would randomly squirt a very fine, high pressure spray of stout in various directions all over the back of the car. My wife still bitches about it, even though the car has since been totalled (heheh by her).

i've seen it happen to plastic 2 liter bottles before. A friend of the family had it in his truck bed, bouncing around. It made a big boom. :)
