In my over zealous use of the pressure wand at the carwash.
I suppose it's getting time to put the winter tires on anyway...

whoops.
My father's car lost a few of its balancing weights because of frozen snow buildup (parked for a week), and that same cold also warped disc brakes.

Shite, this reminds me I have to get the track wheels re-balanced before Saturday! Ahhhhhhh.
The normal sticky weights are crap, they also come off at high temps, like what you see on a track.

It happened at a hotel in a place where we don't live, actually. Goddamn Quebec.

No real shame in that. Pressure washer power is one of those things that's like making a decent gravy. You can read all you want about it, understand it intellectually, but you never truly "get it" until you try it and screw it up once (only once, but once). You'll get a lumpy congealed mess overheating a gravy once. You'll gouge out a part with a pressure washer. There's just a "feel" to some things that I don't think can be had without doing it a bunch and overstepping the edge to find it. I ended up replacing a couple of boards on my deck from an enthusiastic pressure washer cleaning I delivered one spring.
Glad it was just a wheel weight! That's a fairly cheap way to learn.

Heh, I did the same sort of thing on my Legacy Outback. Blew the "Out" off the "Outback" badge.
