Default The Vette Got Egged

I left the car over at my girlfriends house overnight while I traded cars with her mom, so I could take it to work and give it an oil change. I bring her moms car back, and find that someone egged it overnight. Luckily, it didn't get TOO much on the paint. It ran down the side a little bit. I had a HELL of time trying to get it off. I'm sure it was baking in the sun all day. I still have egg in the door seam, that I can't really get to. Probably some young punks out on a Friday night with nothing better to do.

I would look carefully at the paint, egg shells can take off paint.

Yeah, there is still some egg that I can't get to. I'm hoping the rain we got last night washed it off. If not, I guess I'll have to get out the power washer, cuz its impossible to get to by hand.

Hehe, I should install that flamethrower security system like they had in Europe. It does exactly as the title says. Anyone messes around with the car... WHOOSH! Up in flames they go. Hehehe

Hopefully one day when they grow up and grow out of their immature punk mode they will know whats it's like to work your *** off for something you want and achieve a goal. When they do, I hope some other a$$hole ruins their possesion and they cry. Sorry about your car bro

once when i went cruisin' the car was clean when i left and had egg on it when i got home. since the egg was streaky i can only assume it was egged while it was moving. i guess someone was throwing eggs out of the sunroof or maybe off of an overpass since i didn't see any hit the car.

A lot of us would brother, but they are cowards and only do this type of behavior when no one can catch them.

Good luck getting all the egg off.

I wouldn't, I think I'd be in Jail for a long time if I caught someone doing that to my car.

I'm not too upset. I mean, yeah it sucks, but Karma's a bitch. Someday they'll get bitch-slapped.

If I would have caught the one that keyed my car, he wouldn't have gotten away walking. You can count on that

Mine has 4 marks from eggs and yes the shell will chip the paint pretty badly. I've been trying to fill them in the best I can but for the life of me I just don't get what the hell these numb nuts are thinking doing stuff like that.
Dumb question .... does that Color Turtle Wax stuff work on any level?
