Now imagine you're driving along on the highway and you end up driving into a flood of driveway sealant on the highway. Hard to imagine isnt it, not to mention it would be a mess. Well along the Pennsylvania turnpike east bound thats just what happened Any members out in this area?

So many people are like, we were driving for over a mile and it just felt like we were on gravel, then they saw people on the side of the road and pulled over.

I'm sorry, but if I felt something wrong with the way my car was driving and I couldn't see a reason why... I wouldn't drive for over a mile before realizing, hey, I should probably look.

Wouldnt you see that stuff on the road? I mean I am sure it would cover the lines and be shiney on the road. Thats the kind of morons we have on the roads here in Pittsburgh. We may not be the biggest city with the most traffic but we definately have some of the dumbest drivers around.

My work just sent a bulletin that another near by company was having some roof service done which may have resulted in overspray on our cars.... We are recommended to inspect for a gritty substance that does not come off easily with rubbing.

Another "Whoops".....

Agreed with everything said above ^^ I'd pull over immediately. Even then, I'd still be pretty mad if that sticky **** got all over my car.

That's unacceptable! Are they going to detail your cars now or just tell you about it?

I assume you report it before you leave the premises and they should cover all expenses.
