This is a cool/funny mod.

Tennis Ball

Was driving to work this morning and was just bout to pass a bus going the opposite direction when a tennis ball comes out of nowhere across 2 lanes of traffic and goes right in front of my versa. Without enough time to stop, I hit it. I then looked in my rear view mirror to see where it went and saw no sign of it. I continued on to work and got out of the car to find the tennis ball right where you see it now. What are the chances. I'm going to keep it there until I get tired of telling the story.

That's a good one!
But if you might see the same bus on the same route, the ball mod may attract more "mod attempts" from the same perps,
...I mean wonderful blessed children!

Wow, my rugrats don't start back till after Labour Day around here!
Tomorrow I leave to travel through NY, MA, NH, and ME to get to PEI.
I'll be watching for the Big Yellow Vibrators with flashing red lights...thanks for the heads up!

Yeah the Americans start school earlier than we do !
I am hoping to get an interview w/ our school board to start supplying ... I hate waiting so long. It's been a year already :( If not, I'll just be tutoring for the board again ... waiting until they interview again ... :(

At least it was a tennis ball and got stuck there... If it was something heavier and bounced into your windshield, that would not have been a fun story to tell !

Hopefully there will be no more mod attempts. This wound up being pretty funny but the next one may not be so lucky. I am very glad it was just a tennis ball. It showed no sign of any damage to my car. Just got stuck, which gave me a nice addition for a while. Now my versa is truly unique.
