Egg + 70 mph = ...
So I'm on my way to work last night traveling east on 62. I see some people up on a pedestrian bridge and don't really think anything of it. As I pass under the bridge I see this white thing about 10 feet off the ground, next thing I know I hear a pretty loud whack and see some stuff splattered on the windshield and side window. Got to work and couldn't really figure out what it was since there wasn't much light, so I looked at it again this morning and saw the remains of an egg shell, the yolk and some egg white streaked down the side of my car. The biggest piece of shell was maybe 5mm square. Since egg can be pretty bad for paint I decided to wash it off as soon as I got home this morning. When I got done washing it, this is what I found....

Damn that really sucks :( After dodging some mustard and ketchup packets (I think) in the S2k with the top down I'm always very wary of people overhead on bridges.

That really sucks! I had a friend that had that happen to him with his brand new custom truck on black paint as well. if you dont want to repaint it I would use this and it will camo most of the damage and works great. http://www.turtlewax.com/main.taf?p=2,1,4,5

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
I don't think that turtle wax stuff will help. The fenders have apparently been replaced as the chips go all the way through the black paint down to white paint underneath it. They're pretty nasty chips. :(

Bummer!

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
That sucks man, that car is really clean too!

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
It will work. It will fill it in. I have done it with a few small spots on my black 2g. Actually works pretty good.

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
I'd flip a tit, dumbass people.

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
That is all kinds of ghey. I was just telling Anna to keep an eye out the other day as we passed under a bridge with some people on it...Why didn't you call the cops and maybe even pull over right when it happened?
|
Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
I would have murdered those people.

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
damn that sucks!!! they probably drive honda's and are jealous of the boost lol.

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
Well if that ain't for fookin ghey. I don't know why people feel the need to wreck other peoples property for their enjoyment. Someone should introduce them to drugs and leave them at it. :) haha

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
I'd have locked all 4 right then and there if there was an exit (and backed up on the shoulder), or floored it to make it to the next one, gotten up there and pulled out the breaker bar.
Someone could hit my car with a snowball in the winter and I'd chase them the fuck down. Shit's not cool no matter how funny anyone thinks it is. Chances are that since they were able to hit your car, it's not the first time they've done it, nor will it be the last time. One can only hope they'll fuck with the wrong person next time and end up face down in the river. |
Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
That absolutely blows. I did stupid things like that as a kid and looking back regret it. There seems to be some appeal to screwing with other people and getting away with it. I think the people who do this usually don't realize they are causing damage, but just think they are making a mess. At least you got it off the paint quickly. Egg can be really nasty once it starts eating in to things.

Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
That's fucked up man, your car was so clean. For the time being maybe try filling it with touch up paint?
|
Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
I would have stopped and chased the fuckers down, but I was on the borderline between making it to work on time, or being late. I didn't even know what it was or how bad it was since I just saw a little white thing out of the corner of my eye, so if I had known I would have stopped regardless. I'll definitely be more cautious when I see people on bridges from now on.

One time I was driving in plymouth to someone's house and these two kids were walking on the other side of the road, and as I drove by, I saw the kid further away swing his arm from his side out and up over his head. He had lobbed a snowball at my car. So I jammed on the brakes, stopped, got out and chased him and tackled him on the ground.
Lucky for him I was so out of shape and tired from that I just helped him up and said, "next time someone might not be so nice." or some such thing and walked back to my car and drove off, haha. |
Re: Egg + 70 mph = ...
Dang that sucks big time. Happened to my dad when he was driving on 94w coming from wisconsin. My dad found a 5lb rock clipped on the front of the minivan in between the hood and bumper. You know where the Chrysler logo is located at at the front. (making sense)
