#1 Reason to buy a new clutch

[APEXistud]

I was on my was to drop off some movies and pick up some food from the grocery store after a long day of work just sitting at the stop light. All of the sudden some rich kids in a 5 Series BMW fly by me and I hear a smack on my passengers side window. It takes me about 5 seconds to realize that I've just been egged. I slam my car into first to take off after them and it suddenly dawns on me..."I reving, but not going anywhere" I then realized that I'm about 10k miles past my clutch job and there is now way in hell that I'm going to catch these arse holes.(bang) Damn that sucked! Hopefully I gave them a bit of a scare by chasing them through some residential streets. (Don't worry I didn't go over 40mph) I do with that I had my Airsoft with me, at least I could have popped off a few if I got close enough.

Has anyone else ever been egged?(pissed)

My '77 LTD was egged years ago, but that's while it was in the driveway.

Did you get their license plate? Report them for it. Nothing like a cop showing up on your doorstep to make you think twice about being an idiot.

damn i hear you man, i got a glass bottle thrown at my car when i was crossing an intersection from on coming traffic. went after them and all, didnt really care about them so i didnt follow to long cuz they were driving like they were gonna crash into a tree. checked my car, the bottle hit the front bumper and went under the car.

It happened at the intersection turning into Hollywood video (Prospect & Saratoga) in San Jose. Before this, the worst thing to happen to my car was some slashed all 4 of my tires the week of Christmas in Michigan. My wife didn't seem to understand that you don't **** with a man's car.

That's messed up. You cleaned up the egg as soon as you got home, right? (Eggs can do a mess to a car's paint)

My cars has been egged.... those idiot got a dozen of eggs on my car!!!


I didn't find out until next day..... it was all dry! I can still see the marks on the car... it damaged some of the paint

WTF!! This is the first time I have ever heard about a car being egged. That has to be the dumbest @%$# thing I have ever heard.

This world would be a better place if it was Idiot Hunting Session at least ones a year.

That's always one of the drawbacks of driving a nice looking car like the Miata, especially if you take really good care of it.....people get jealous and do stupid s*** like that.
I get lots of looks at my car, and while most of it is from ordinary people who are just admiring a nice looking car, I'm always afraid there's gonna be some 40 IQ hick or spoiled brat teenager who's insecure in his manhood who's going to do something stupid out of sheer jealousy.
I'd hate sleeping over at my girlfriend's house, because I'd have to park the car out on the street, and she didn't live in the best area, and I was always sure some punks were gonna drive by and do something stupid.

Although, in your case, it sounded more like a random thing....obviously you didnt know them and they were just some dumbass kids out with a dozen eggs looking to hit whoever they could. If it wasnt you, it would have been someone else for sure.....
Too bad you didnt get their license plate....

my old car (03 jetta) was egged MULTIPLE times.... about 6-8 (I lost count).

so much so that I setup a video camera but they never came back after that. To this day I still dont know who or why it was done. I was never one to piss people off, if I had an issue with someone I would just stop talking to them.

It was black. and for the record (those who dont know) its not the egg that ruins the paint. Its the shell. The impact of the shell on the clearcoat actually causes the shell to have enough force to go straight through the clearcoat. Itll leave fine spiderweb-looking marks in the paint.

Unfortunately the paint on that jetta (being black) after the eggings was RUINED. there was atleast 12 spots that were clearly visable from eggs hitting the car.

If only more people had respect for someone else's property. I wouldnt wish an egging on anyone else's car.

Nothing is worse then having a car keyed. Most damage to paint caused by eggs can be buffed out unless there is a dent. What I hate the most is the paint on the front fascia of my car all chipped from small rocks and road debris flying off the tires of other cars and trucks and believe me I keep my distance.

Antother thing that bothered me was that my wife didn't seem to understand why I was so pissed. When I got home, I told her that I need to go back out to wash the car. She was trying to get me to stay and do it the next morning. Women.....I should have asked her "is someone was to throw gum in your hair you'd want to remove it asap right?"

My civic si was egged in my friends driveway one time. I took very good care of the car, the paint was flawless until the egging. It made a big mark on the trunk, it actually cracked the paint in the area of the hit. That pissed me off to no end, I tried to keep something nice only to have some a**hole do that to it.
