So, someone tried to f with my car....

So, I washed my car today. Then when I got home I found the remains of a red-skinned potato around my tailpipe.

However, nothing was in my exhaust itself, so whomever tried that one: sorry, loser, you ****ed up, and hey, guess what, the cops are looking after my car now.

On the upside, my car is very clean again.

One time when my car was new someone left a plywood sheet laying against the rear bumper (in my apt. days). Just recently I found my side-view mirror folded-in at a mall. There are times I'm glad I drive a 5-yr old car, because if it were new I'd get mad!

hahaha well they didn't use the right size, because I didn't have a problem with the car running. I think it must have fallen off even before I started the car, because I never saw anything in my tailpipe, and I see the back end of my car every time I go to get in. There was just potato stuff around that tip-thing (stock muffler, baby). It smelled like baked potato though, so that was kind of cool; made me crave steak. haha!

The old potato in the tailpipe brings back fond memories of high school pranks. Pretty harmless really, unlike getting keyed, slashed tires, or brake fluid on the paint. This person could have filled your tailpipe and muffler with the aersol self-expanding insulation foam, from an home improvement store. That stuff is just evil.

Do you think it may have been one of your friends playing a joke?

I think I know what Lime needs for Christmas - a special edition Mr. Potato Head, and a baseball bat!

I wasn't that mad, as there was no real damage. But the fact that someone singled out my car aggrevates me.
