That makes my blood boil!!! I'm literally looking around my desk for something to pick up and bludgeon imaginary vandals with. I hope you can get it fixed quickly and won't notice the damage after the repair. Sucks, man.

I know that feeling. It sucks. Over the course of a year and a half or so, someone would come by at night and egg my Evo for no reason. It happened maybe 4-5 times. Could never catch him as it was not consistent and in the middle of the night. I just don't understand why people would do something like this.

That's terrible. First week I had my FR-S, somebody spit something all over the back window and trunk while I was parked watching a movie at the Palms. It looked like soda and popcorn fragments or something. People hate when they see people coming up. That's one of the reasons I went out and got a license plate ASAP. At least then maybe a passer by won't think "Oh, brand new car? Look at this rich mother f%#@r"

Some people are just terrible people. If someone ever does this to my car, I just hope I'm lucky enough to catch them in the act.

Neither. Rather it is compelling evidence to insist abortion remains an option for our women, regardless of what political party you favor.

The perpetrator is definitely a load that should have been swallowed.

that's right! collision on this car is wild! they total easy!

I haven't had this happen, but I did have someone hock a big lugie on my windshield over the weekend. It is now safely tucked away in my garage at night rather than on the street.
sick fuck!

be prepared for a very large estimate based on the car being reshot!

Blackvue Camera

Sorry to read of your misfortune. Somebody spit on the hood of my FR-S, no big deal compared to physical damage on your vehicle by vandals. I purchased a Blackvue 400HD video camera that has a parking mode, it has a motion sensor. I think this could be a useful tool in a case of vandalism or accident. Good Luck with your repair.

That is so effed up man, I'm terribly sorry about this. I literally have nightmares about people messing with my car so I'm super paranoid about crap like this happening.

Unfortunately, I think people do this shit out of jealousy. It's like really? If you're that jealous of a new car, why don't you go work your ass off like the rest of us so you can buy one for yourself? Then again people like that don't deserve to be in one of these cars. I hate everybody... on your behalf.
