Default Tar anybody?

Okay here is the crappy luck i have for today.... Drove home from a long test and was two lanes away from a truck that was pulling some type of equpiment but had black tar all around it. So what happens to me? Tar strands for some odd reason flying around and lands a nice string on my hood and window. So how the hell do i get it off? I tried to wipe and clean it but it not coming off. Any sugesstions?

Yeah especially when it fresh from the stupid machine floating around onto unsuspecting cars. A little elbow grease did the job... more like 40 minutes of elbow grease with a old t-shirt and some water alternating from wet to dry areas. Eventually taking it off. Then I had to wash my car again when i just washed it yesterday. So spent way to much quality time with my car and not enough with my papers i need to do. Eh go figure, what can i say, I like to look good in the car.
