Default Why do pigeons hate C5s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So last night, I took my wife to the watch store to pick up her watch which needed a new band. As I parked at the far end of the parking lot next to the island, my wife tells me to check something out. I look out her window and there were two pigeons right next to each other with their heads turned looking right at us. My wife tells me, "you think they are thinking of pooping on the vette after we step out?" I tell her, "oh, its almost a guarantee!".
So sure enough, when we came out, there were two huge pigeon droppings right in the center of the hood. Normally, I'd be pissed as hell but we both started laughing. Its like those biotches knew what they were going to do! So I sprayed a bottle of water on it to get the big chunks off then sprayed some Z6 on their to get the rest out. Freakin flying rats!!! So, do you think pigeons hate C5s or just mine??

C5's are On Call Targets for pigeons. Everyone knows that.

Mount a fake owl as a hood ornament - I don't think pigeons would even fly over your car then.

That's not hate, bro. It's love. That's just the only way they can show how much they like Corvettes! It's their "stamp of approval," so to speak...

I got hit twice yesterday! I came out in the morning and their were droppings on the windshield, not too bad. No sooner had I cleaned it off an hour later a whole squadron of pigeons did a flyby right in front of my house and hit their target right on the nail, or should I say, hood, roof, rear window. I was pissed! I thought it was a "red car" thing because my last 2 cars used to get hit all the time and they were bright red too.

Personally, I don't think pigeons are biased. They're equal opportunity poopers! I think my F-150 has target rings on it sometimes. It's almost a daily occasion!

Seems like birds really like the C5 as a target. Mine gets hit enough.

I think you got the wrong idea. I think that they like your car, in fact, they want to buy your car. They just put a deposit on it.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Had one nail the windshield yesterday! Darn thing must have had a bad case of constipation for a couple days before hand though judging from the size of the "deposit". Either that, or he wanted to make a big down payment!
