Jealous and envious punks would be my guess. I used to live in the Ballston / Virginia Square area. Some punks spit on my 1985 Corolla GT-S back then, too. I'm glad there was no permanent damage, but I know the feeling of some stupid act like that putting the damper on an otherwise good time.

Sucks, but at least your case is easily fixable (with a simple car wash).

My lowly ES300 got keyed around the entire side. And the tires got slashed on another occasion. God I hate the haters.

Kinda reminds me of a story of when I used to park my Celica across from my house.
Every morning or almost every morning before going to school I would notice a FAT spit on the drivers side window, all dried and nasty. Being in high school at the time, for awhile I thought it was some kid from my school that apparently didn't like me or the car. Which was weird cause I never considered myself one to **** people off, so I had no clue who it could be.

So every morning I would have to clean it up, and be pissed about it. I even tried staying up a couple nights with some friends to see if I could find out who was doing it. But it never happened the nights we were looking out...

So to end this long story, one night I was sitting in not my car, but my GF's at the time, but it was parked in the place where I would normally park it.
My neighbor that lives in front of us, comes running up (he goes running every night), and stops in front of the car, I assume he saw us. But he didn't! He loaded up for a gigantic loogie and spit it right onto the windshield with both of us inside. Lol

So we confronted him about it, and he was all defensive. He said that he didn't know that it was my car, and thought it was random people parking there who live a couple houses down from me. Made the *** clean it up.
Before the incident, our families had been "friends." Not anymore lol.

Hasn't happened since.

bitkahuna,

License plate says "14 MPG"

And to everyone (except Incendiary, of course ), thanks for the comments. I agree, it could have been much worse.

FYI, Incendiary, I'm not a "rich f0cher"....I bought the car used it it ate up just about every penny I had to get it. People at work see my car and they're like "Wow, you're rich!". My standard response is "Have you seen my car? I'm BROKE!"

1st: about the spit on the windshield, imagine this: dude walking back to his car with ppl, he needs to cough and doesnt want to be rude infront of his frineds/guests, turns his head to cough and a luggie goes flying out and just happens to land right on your windshield... hey you never know right?

2nd: Owning a Lexus makes ppl think you have money: BEFORE you buy a Lexus you DO HAVE MONEY, after you buy a Lexus you DONT HAVE MONEY, course only owning a Lexus a person would know this...

These 2 examples are not always the case so you guys who like to get ****, please~~~

That's not really offensive at all. I wonder how H2s would be spat on then. I thought your plate read something like "GRSPLTR."

i've got a spit story now too:

friend of mine and i were moving our cars from street parking to underground parking. we're turning rite into the rite lane of an adjecent road and this moron decideds rite then that he wants to cut across 4 lanes of downtown traffic, from the far left (his original lane) to the far right (the lane my firend and i are turning into) of the street. my friend is in front so he gives a honk, cos buddy is being stupid [dont cut across 4 lanes, just go around the block, it wasnt even possible to turn rite at the next street cos its a one way in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION so why he thought he needed the lane we were going into is bejond us]. i'm following my friend cos it's his underground and he has the fob so i give buddy a honk too cos like, stop being stupid? don't cut in fornt of the moving car?

so buddy stupid is in some complete beater of a car, never mind old, rusted too, (dunno where he came from) and at the next light, my friend and i are sitting 1 & 2 at the stop light, buddy pulls up beside me and i can see hes yelling but i cant hear him (windows up, music on) and he spits on my passenger side window! ... then he drives up beside my friends car and does the same thing!! (luckilly, friend also had windows up, music on)

....................................................some people

I got 2 spit stories.
I come out of the store to see a big hockey on my car. Two older ladies were parked next to me. I yell out, what did I do to deserve that! They just started up and pulled off.

I was crossing train track very slow as I do normally, 2 rednecks in a truck were behind me are were upset because they wanted to go fast. After I get over the tracks, I always speed up to compensate for making people slow down. This guy gets next to me and asked me to lower the window. I wanted to hear what he had to say so I did. He tries to blow a hockey in my car but missed. I chase after him. I finally catch him at a light, pull my car in front of his so he can't get away. I get out, go over to the truck and say, spit at me now. Those 2 guys were so afraid they almost crapped in their pants. I'll bet they never pull that again.

This reminds me of the time my girl spit on a truck parked next to my car after the movies, she said it was parked too close to me.

Mine was similar. Although the girl claimed I "stole" her spot when in fact I had been sitting in the aisle with my signal on for 3 minutes. She was totally out of hand--cussing, spitting, and throwing garbage on my car. I was with my friends and we were all puzzled. What was I to do? Cuss her out and threaten to beat her @ss? This would surely bring some negative attention. I was walking away then decided to just leave altogether. Call me paranoid, but I thought this crazy broad was going to come back and key my car and jump on my roof.

Default ** Its A Good Thing, Kinda **

Well IMO if someone spits on your car(or in turn are jealous) and you are not a "snob" or "show off" and just minding your own business, its kinda of a good thing some people are jealous because YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT THEN.. They are envious and obviously these "winners" want to be like you.

one of my old cars was harassed by some punk teenagers. i was driving along, too slow in the slow lane i guess, they they cuss me out and throw some signs, i ignore it, but they dont let it go. they grab a full water bottle, chuck it at my car, dents the side panel, and speed off. they ran a definite red, and i wasnt gonna do that, just plain stupid. they got away,,,,
