The worst thing that's been done to me was that my friends wrote stuff on my windshield with the window paint that comes off easily...I dont see what fun comes out of egging a car.

Do you think they'll do it again? Maybe you can camp out, have a camera handy, and bust them.

Sorry to hear about your situation. How did it take place? Were you parked and came back and saw egg, or were you driving ?

I was parked outside my friend's house and I'm usually there for several hours but this time I was only there for about 1hr and a half. I've been doing that for the past 5 years and I have never been egged or keyed before. Anyway, as I was driving home (5 minute drive) I noticed a big stain on my mirror so I thought it was bird poop. I'm a clean freak when it comes to my car so I decided to wipe it off when I got home but I noticed a little bit more on the car so I got kind of worried that it was tree sap. I turned on the lights on my front yard and that's when I noticed a LOT of egg yolk near the back of my car (near gas tank door). So yea.... I didn't notice the egg yolks until I got home. I pretty much washed my entire car so the egg yolk wouldn't mess up the paint and I saw the circular formation of paint chips from the egg shell. At first I thought they only egged me but my friend told me that he also got egged. I'm pretty sure it wasn't anyone I pissed off (I was only down here for 2 days so far and I haven't done much driving) and my friends old Camry got egged as well so it looks like it was just a random egging.

I had my old Accord egged a long time ago and it totally jacked up the paint. Egging someone's car is pure vandalism, plain and simple. People that do that are just plain mean. I was pissed then, but it was only an Accord. If someone egged my IS now, I would lose control...

That is so lame. I'm sorry about your car...

It happened to my previous car too. I got hit in 3 places and left some small chips in a circle shape. Lucky my car was silver and it wasn't too visible unless u look up close. Ppl are just too bored around here, go find a life!

With people egging cars I wonder what do they get into doing this? I know its childish but ruining other peoples property is not right.

i had my bumper repainted at the dealer for $350...it was scratched hard in two places, probably from someone getting out of a parallel parking spot behind me...it got scratched to the base so they puttied it, painted it, and clear coated the whole bumper...the dealer i went to actually has a company contracted to do the paint job...the painter has some tents set up in the dealership parking lot

if you have a good coat of wax on the car, it should not be a problem removing eggs or even paintball residue.

if you pimped out ur ride, eventually you will see coffee, coke, eggs, and even paintballs on ur paint one day from hatters.
