Ruby Got Egged

[elvissa]

I went out early this morning to find that Ruby, my rally red cabriolet had been egged. And egged. She was a mess, poor baby.

The worst part, of course, is that the hoodlums got her top with a couple of eggs.

I've given her the bath of her life and am now waiting for the roof to dry to really see if the egg came off.

No, I have no idea of who or why-- I haven't made anyone mad that I can think of, and I'm the only person on the street who appeared to get it.

I'm angry, though, and needed to share with people who would understand the trauma of having their beloved smart pelted with eggs in the middle of the night. Thanks for listening to me vent. I almost feel like a bully beat up my child and ran away before I could catch them!

My heart goes out to you. Nobody should have to go through this.

I hope the cabrio top comes out healthy and happy!

I've been wanting to add video to my car (assist in parking, document accidents) but now realize it may be good to leave the system on to document anything bad that happens while parked. I'm the kind of guy who wants justice where justice is due.

That's really an awful and sad story. I hope your baby is completely revived by your ministrations. And, that they catch the a*&holes responsible.

The anger sometimes shown toward this car never ceases to amaze me. Now I will say the good folks out number the bad about 100 to 1 but those 'one' can really be evil!! Everything from rude and dangerous driving around you to vandalism to what I can only describe as fear or jealousy toward the car. I think this car causes real fear to some folks....those that cling to their HUGE pick ups even though the only thing they haul is their rear to the video store....those that fear gas will go back up, way up, and we will be running around at 40+ mpg while they can't get to that video store. I don't think I will ever fully understand...maybe I'm over educated....

I was out for a bike ride this morning and a half a dozen cars in a row were egged...
why has this become the thing to do...again?

[BigWarpGuy]

I guess some one 'hatched' that lame idea.

It's just not what it's cracked up to be. The yolk will be on them.

[jefferios]

Well I hope the paint finish wasn't destroyed. You didn't mention it so you cleaned it off before the clear coat was compromised.

[mrc59]

Wouldn't it be cool if idiots that egg, or throw out trash on your street could simply be vaporized. Good luck with the cleanup.

[elvissa]

Thanks, y'all.

Ruby appears to be okay, and we're none the worse for wear. Just angry. I'm sure it was kids out being kids. Teenagers never change.

It could be worse-- they could have burned my house down, right?
