Its my turn for a vandalized car!

$516!!!! How many eggs can you buy for that much money? <_<

Really sorry to hear about your car. Idiots.

My condolences. The issue with eggs is speed. Parked cars can usually just be washed off, but hitting an egg at highway speeds can cause a lot of damage. You're lucky you didn't get a dent or broken glass.

Well I got an appointment September 10th. It should be done in about 3 days but I'm taking that whole week off just in case. I plan for my new PC parts to be in by that time so this will give me a good week to build the PC.

Also since I'm paying out of pocket they was able to lower the price to about $485.

Wow... I just noticed this thread today. My sympathies, as I can relate as my previous car was egged a few years ago, I know the frustration and anger you feel...

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending how you look at it), some "kid" (?) threw an egg at my car from an angle I estimate to be about 45-degrees to the left on the driver side, while I was stopped at a light. Never saw him/her. They didn't hit the paint; instead, it went right through the open moonroof and cracked on the rubber front edge of the open roof! (Quite the throw, I'll give that credit!) As a result, half the egg stayed in the moonroof track and the other half went into the backseat/window/seatbelt. Quite the mess. Scratched my tint as a result.

On the positive side, it was less expensive to fix than a paint job (free, actually)... but I also went screeching my tires looking for this punk...

I hate vandals.

Wow!!! I can't believe that that egg caused that much damage! Wow wow wow. My (red) Prius also got egged. But I sort of probably was asking for it. I had a bumper sticker "The only Bush I trust is my own" on my car and the area I was living at the time was very conservative. Woops. I don't realize HOW LUCKY I am that they hit the window and not the actual car. The egg did dribble onto to the car but it didn't leave anything. I took it to the car wash as soon as I Saw it.

I could care less about getting hit by an egg. It's the SUV's that worry me.

If everyone carried guns, then people would only attack when they thought they could get the drop on the other guy... and bystanders would only bystand if they were worried the criminal might be a faster draw than they are... what next, pre-emptive invasions of other countries?

Every car on the street where I used to live was egged the second week of summer vacation. Thankfully, my Prius was in the garage, but my mom's Camry was in front of the house. The car was egged in the middle of the night and I washed it off around 8 am the next morning. The cool part is that there was absolutely no damage. The reason is that I had used a teflon based wax on the car about a month earlier. DuPont makes the stuff and you can buy it at Target, it is also reasonably priced. I guess it turned the car into a giant, non-stick, blue frying pan. If you live in an egging prone part of town, it might be something you want to try.

It had nothing to do with the wax. First of all "Teflon" waxes are a marketing gimmick. In order to be effective Teflon needs to be bonded to a surface at over 600 degrees. It does nothing in a spray or wax application. And second, the damage he saw was caused by the shell cutting into the paint, no wax will protect against that.

You just got lucky.

Not that it even begins to compare, but I did find a few choice words written in the fine dust on my hood just now. People are screwed up. I don't go writing "You @$$" on Hummers. Maybe that's acceptable now? Like an email?

That sucks. I had someone write "I love you" on my old cars driver side window in red lipstick. This happened when I was still working at my previous job. I asked my coworker if it was her but she said it was not her. She would have been the only one I knew that would do that even if it was a prank. She was hot too. I never did find out who did it.
