Car got egged...

[hexadecimal 0]

Some little spoiled bastard punks (lots of those in my area) egged my car while I had it parked in a friend's driveway the other day. I was only there for about an hour.

Now I've got dull lines all over the paint where the egg ran down and I have to replace the 3M film where it got hit as well. Estimated repair cost: $2,500+ because they have to basically remove the entire rear end of my car to repaint it.

The car is 9 months old

WTF is wrong with people??

"Hey a nice car... lets fuck it up!!!"

This is why it pays to wax your car. Several cars in my neighborhood got hit a couple of years ago and my Tiburon got pegged with at least 8, front to back. I was out of town, it was a damn hot July, and didn't see it until 2 days later.

It took forever to get it off with washing, but once it was off, I just re-waxed it and there wasn't a trace of it. I usually wax mine every 3-4 weeks.
My neighbor, who wasn't as lucky, had a 1 year old Vette that had to have the clearcoat completely redone.

I do usually have at least a couple coats of wax on it... but unfortunately they got to me after 3 weeks of track dust / tire rubber / dirt had accumulated and I hadn't had time to re-wash and re-wax it yet.

Wax the car? What are you crazy? If my van got egged I'd just take it into work and let the students in the auto body sand it down, and then re-paint and put a new clear coat on it. All for free

Just out of curiousity, Kris...and you know I'm no expert in car waxing...what type of applicator should I use to apply the wax?

I would hate to use something scratchy and wreck the paint job or something...I mean, that would just be crazy!

*sobbing openly*

I didn't scratch my paint waxing my car, I did it washing it. Hush, woman. Don't make me fly over there and spank you!

A man messes up and uses the wrong sponge to wash his car once, and she'll never let him live it down.

Set those fu@kers up and get them to do something like that again on camera. You might not catch the ones that did it to your car, but you might be able to use the ones you caught to squeeze out the ones that did.

I had that happen to me one night while driving through a neighborhood! It was a nice neighborhood too! I never saw the fuckers, they were hiding in the shadows and took off when I screeched to a halt and got out of my car screaming "YOU GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKERS! I'LL BEAT THE SHIT OUT OF YOU FUCKERS IF I EVER CATCH YOU!!!" Probably shit their pants too...

Fortunately, I just drove straight to a car wash a mile away and had the shit washed off without a problem, and it was an older car so I didn't care if there were scratches...

You know what... that was the first thought that entered my head when it happened!



I need a picture so I know who I'm looking for though... check the SDC thread for a picture of me (hint - I'm the only scrawny pale white 5'5" midget at the place for the most part ).

Here's a pic of me...packing of course.

Well apparently, I don't know just how loud I can scream... I can make some people cringe...
