Well, you could do like a couple of blonde cheerleaders here on the Alabama
Crimson Tide did after their little car got dimpled by hail here. Local
garage chief told them blow on the tailpipe. That will pop the dimples
right out. They were huffing and puffing when a blondie
 on a bike came by and yelled at them. They turned to look at her, big
black soot ring around their mouths, and she said 'You gotta know that
doesn't work unless the windows are up!!

Check your winows before you try it! ☺
