Default Car egged at work



One of my clients comes in while i'm in a meeting and tells me theres a silver lexus thats been egged. I immediately go take it to the car wash. BUT the point of impact where the egg's shell hit the car is still there....I'll post a pic as soon as i get home...I was in such a rush to take it to the car wash that i didn't take a pic of the eggs on the car. I also didn't do a police report...im going to call AAA see if they can help me out with this.



SOOO MADD, i think bad karma is going around, didn't another member get their wheels stolen this week too??

This is what it looks like now...the egg hit my driver side door.


Here is a closer look at the damage. The lady at the car wash said its the egg shells that do the damage.

Only bright thing about all of this is that i got my car waxed.


After I came back from work i parked my car 3 blocks away from work and just walked to work from there. I need the exercise anyways. I also called AAA and they said they would cover it even though i didn't obtain a police report but i would have to pay my $500 deductible and im sure this will be less than that to fix.

My old car got egg'd when I parked it on the street. I swear if I caught someone doing anything to my car they'd have to surgically remove my foot from their a**

If it's slight scratches on the clear coat, you should be safe using scratch remover to buff them out.

That sucks to hear. Does your work have any perimeter cameras? It would be a good idea to check or at least report it to your work security.

Just wanted to point out that this is the reason I have yet to let many people know I even have a new car. Once you post some pics on your social networks EVERYONE will know what your car looks like... So hide those license plates!

Mine got egged two weeks ago when I was visiting some family. Car was parked in the street. Eggs left small marks where the impact happened, I doubt it will polish out. Hard to see on the silver (TP) paint but its there.

Gah, haters are so lame. Sorry to hear this man. Car vandalism should be a crime punishable by death.

what OPTik mentioned makes sense. haters will always have a reason to do damage to another's car. it sucks that this situation there was an egging. there have been far worse situations. get some polish and try to buff it out. hope for the best
