RANT: Car was egged last night, permanent paint damage

Hey guys,

If I may I would like to vent to all of you of what happened to me just today.
My girlfriend and I fell asleep after a night of relaxing and drinking only to wake up at about 4 in the morning. I had to drive her home, so we head out to my car and to my absolute horror some f'in douchebag had egged my car badly.

I had a full cartoon of grade A large eggs bombarded across my hood, windshield and partly the driver's side of my car. I couldn't f'in believe it. I don't make waves and mess with people, because I value my car too much. To think that someone would be sooooo inconsiderate and disrespectful drove me up the wall. I was seething I was so pissed.

Just the past week I spent 24 hours over 3 days in my garage doing a wash, clay, 3 stage machine polish and sealant on my car to achieve incredible results and have them tarnished by some nutless turd.

I didn't want to drive my girlfriend home with the egg/shells on my car so I hosed it off, filled a bucket with some CG hyper wash and poured that all over a couple times to let it soak, but the egg had already began to harden.

So f my life I had to drive her home, and at 5 in the bloody morning begin to wash my entire car in the dark with only the garage lights to give me the required light to see. The egg was so bad that even after going over the entire car I had to spot wash and dry the hood and driver's door again. Took me about 2 hours total...

The WORST part about all of this is my once nice looking hood now has 4 eggshell impact marks that resemble bullet holes that are permanently etched in the paint. Whatever SOB did this threw the eggs so hard that they damaged right through my clear and paint to leave fine impact marks.

Oh and to top it off I had to work in the morning (I'm a server), so I got 2 hours of sleep, had to wash my car into dawn and my baby's paint is scared even more.

Anyone that has the audacity to disrespect someone and damage their car (which is clearly loved and taken care), because they're so god damn petty, cowardly, immature, and inconsiderate should have to watch something of theirs that they covet be damaged/destroyed in front of their eyes.

Sure it could've have been much worse (keyed, dented, etc.), but it doesn't matter because you always feel helpless.

Thankfully I have some great shots of how fantastic my car looked after my first real detail and I'll be happy to share them with you guys in the near future in another thread.

sorry to hear about what happened. but people just burn with envy if they see u have a nicer car than them. others lack the balls to confront you face to face so they go after your possessions.

hope u can fix some of the damage with some work but eggs do ALOT of damage. My old car got egged on haloween for no reason

That blows man. GL on getting it corrected.
A few months ago I was on the couch watching TV and the dog starts barking like non other, and a car drives through the coldasac. So I think nothing of it, because she barks at the sound of a pin dropping.
A few minutes later, my brother takes the dog out and comes ruining in to tell me that some asshole had thrown Wendy's chocolate frosties all over the tl. 3 full size cups, one on the hood, and two on the roof that dripped and ran EVERYWHERE. I was pissed. Luckily it had not had time to dry on, but was still a pain to clean.

Insurance claim?

Should/will be comprehensive so no change in rate should occur. Is there enough damage that it's worth the repair/deductible?

Something similar happened to a friend just recently. But apparently REAL bird eggs were dropped from a tree he parked under. Etched into the paint, chipped it where it dropped. And where the "juice" ran down the hood and door... the residue has been impossible to remove.

He ended up making a claim will probably have to suck up paying the deductible to get it all fixed.

Maybe someone knows of a good way to remedy it without having to have it repainted. But that's the route he's going now.

Are there any cameras where you park? Check with any security agency and always file a police report, no matter what.

I don't know if it's worth going through the insurance company, get a couple of quotes for a repainted hood, and maybe try and pick up some touch-up paint. Man that sucks, it really pisses me off when things like that happen.

About a year ago someone had the nerve to key my old car. I'm not the type to piss anyone off and the car in question was a POS (92 Cavalier) so nobody really had any reason to key it. It just makes you all the more angry that people really have nothing better to do than go out to the grocery store, buy a full carton of eggs, and walk straight to your car and dump it all over. If I ever saw the person I'd give him one solid punch in the face, one in the gut, one in the crotch. then egg him.

Thanks for the support and suggestions guys. Unfortunately it happened outside my house while my car was parked on the street so no evidence/cops don't care about this sorta thing. I'm basically SOL and will repaint my hood next year out of my own pocket.

Fortunately for me I took the girlfriend home late, but before sunrise so I had time to get the egg off before it stained my paint on top of the etching from the shells.

The etching is there, but it's not so bad that the average person would notice it right away. Of course it drive me nuts along with all the white rock chips on my hood. This is simply more reason to repaint my hood.

ANC that sounds absolutely ridiculous. Who would not only do that to a guy's car but waste chocolate frosties!

And MD03 that's such bad timing for you. I can only imagine how well you take care of your CL and to come out to see it spoiled like that would be infuriating.

To be honest guys I have a theory that either this was totally random because I have the nicest car on the street (other than what my mom has in the garage), or because of a crazy bitch of an ex who's tried starting some shit with me that I'm trying to ignore.

Sounds like a crazy ex to me, my crazy ex often talked about doing similar things to me, but didn't because she knew my philosophy on f'ing with other people's cars and how I would never do it. Sucks to hear about all the hard work you put into the paint, but hopefully that helped prevent worse damage from being done. G'luck on getting your hood repainted whenever you can.

on the bright side, all the protection from your previous wash and wax helped the clear. obviously not from the impact but fron the actual egg. gotta remember that the wax not only makes it look good but gives protection from the elements somewhat

Oh yeah, I'm thankful that I had that layer of Opti-Seal on there. Damn good stuff for sure. It would've been easier to get the egg off with hot water mixed with my car soap, but I didn't want to wake up my family since it was 5 in the morning (I stuck to the hose).

I've actually been wanting to get a new front bumper with fresh paint and repaint my hood (possibly my fenders) as well so this is simply another little push towards that. Too bad it can cost so much, it sure doesn't help me saving for Australia

Makes me wish we had a triple car garage so much more. I hate parking on the street but I know we all have to at some point.

I would rather have my car egged than shit on (by a human being). Yes, I know that's ridiculous and funny (to some) but it actually happened to me with my first car (white 92 accord). There was hand prints and shoe marks on my hood along with some scratches. My mom cleaned it off in the morning before she went to work and told me about it at supper that night. She thought it had been an animal but I instantly realized what had actually happened
