Chariot attacked by neighborhood animals !

I have no idea ? I get up to the sound of nature in perfect harmony, walk outside this morning (birds singing/cool peaceful morning)


Approach the car and noticed several large bugs had crawled up on the front grille/bumper and attached themselves and died ? Curious, walking around to the other side I notice the trash has been raided and garbage is everywhere. I then look out in the distance for any neighborhood dogs to pitch a rock at !!

Morning ruined time for trash detail, suddenly i notice about 26 seperate bird droppings on the top of the car ? what tha ? different sizes and colors ? i look up into the sky but no sign of any guilty parties ! And just when I thought it couldnt get any crazier ! i spot a huge dog dump only inches from my front passengers tire ? what is going on im thinking ? neighborhood animals teamed up and attacked the chariot ! well so much for the morning, as the mystery wears off the cleaning begins !

wtf? Did you dump used motor oil in a lake because it seems like mother nature's got it in for you.

Dayum.....Ive had little moths stuck to my roof every morning latley. I dont know whats attracting them but they leave little powder trails all over the place. They leave my neighbors car alone, they must just be maxima fans I guess. And I though the pollen was bad......must be springtime

ROFL.................

man, judging by ur attutude towards animals i can see why they are mad at you.
Im assuming that by ur quote "I then look out in the distance for any neighborhood dogs to pitch a rock at !!"

what you need to do is....go outside and talk nicely to the animals.
also buying a birdfeeder and placing it in ur backyard or farthest from your car will help. if you park under or near a tree/lamp post try to change that if possible.


thanks for the laugh and sorry for the bad morning...

hang bird feeder on your mirrors, put those little ***** of nuts that sqirrels eat in place of your foglights, attach raw meat to your wheels. Be friendly to them. You are their friend. It will be your chariot as well as mother nature's chariot.

These post are crazy.....but true. I felt the rath of Mother's finest a few weeks ago. While looking under the manifold I discovered about half a jar of dry dog food. I have no idea were it came from. So I spent 2hrs. with a shop vac, wire hanger, duct tape & straws scratching n suckin' it out. If you changed your knock sensor I'm sure you can imagine how fun this was. IT SUCKS !

Nature hates me too...I can't remember the last time I washed and waxed my car and it didn't rain within 48 hours. I wish I was exaggerating but I'm not. It never fails...

Yea, mother nature likes to pull mean jokes. I went outside the other morning to fetch the paper and I saw what I thought was my car......but in yellow. OH, WAIT....that's just the 1000lb's of pollen that got dumped on my car, not my brothers which was 5 feet away......but mine. And then I washed it and it rained the next day. Talk about stryfe.....

wash your car, then put in a garage, wait 48h after that start laught at the skies, cuz your car is still clean.

PS. the only bad thing it could happen is a earthquake, and the garage falls on top of your car. but thats not going to happen

BIRD ****, BIRD ****, BIRD **** x 10

Every time I forget to put my car in the garage over night, I wake up to a shitty Maxima, literly. What's worse is that my car is super black and as we all know, bird droppings are sort of white.

Although I wouldn't usually say this, I think this thread is excellent!

I wanted to get my frustration out, might as well do it here

whooaaaaa that hapened to me once, i was sittin in my car outside my girls house and a bird outta no where slams into my windshield. i was freakin out and thought he was dead and it was someone playin a prank throwin a dead bird at me but it just got up and flew away. it was a white and brown pigeon. after the whole ordeal i was laughin my *** off and when my girl came out she couldnt stop laughin.

i get attacked by animals on the daily, everynight for the past 3 years a cat has been sleeping on the hood of my car.(maybe because when i get home engine is still warm) the 1st time i saw him i slung an orange and a mango and hit him. after i noticed he didnt leave i walked up to him and it was an old beat up cat. he was torn up and i felt so bad for him. i actually went inside to get something for him to eat he still comes out every night when i get home and lays on my hood. only downside is that in the morning theres a **** load of cat hair and paw prints on my hood. lol now if i had a CF hood like caesar that cat woulda been long gone.

This only happens when you have to show off the car. For a hot date or the day of a car show. **** always happen when you least likely suspect it.

If i only had a garage...

LMAO i never thought of it like that. i guess he is my night watchman. it would be sorta tight if someone came to try to steal my car and the cat attacked him or made some noise to alert me. one day when i have a friend over im going to tell him to approach my car and see what the cat does. LOL i just stuck my head out the window and sure enough i see him cuddled up on my hood. i wish it was a dog atleast he will bark if anyone approaches the car.

one way you can protect your car from the cats' hair and claws is just bust a cover on your car.

Hey bro i too feel your pain regarding the bird droppings (in different colors)

One morning i was leaving my house to work; me and my brothers car and our other car were all parked next to each other on the driveway right; anyways i was leaving my house when i noticed the mother of all birdy air-raids all over my car, and my brothers car and the other car. The droppings were like a light brown color; it was disgusting and the my maxima took the worst of it. i dont know if all the birds had a case of diaherria or what, but ive never seen light brown bird crap like that.

You could tell it was well executed, because you could actually see the velocity and angle of which these sh!tbombs were shot out at. its like one of the birds had the tragectory and geometry and physics all planned out and had his whole damn fleet hit up my driveway. It looked like the bird poop was going really fast and there was a hell of alot of it. It was so much i thought it was ridiculous; and of course it happened a couple days after i had my car waxed. Oh well. Just thought id share. Good luck with cleaning the aftermath. And keep a bb gun in your trunk.

Every year in Seattle, in November, along 5th Avenue between Union St. and Columbia St., about 20,000 sparrows hang out in all the trees that hang over the road every night from about 4pm-7pm. (It's pretty cool to watch the Perigrin Falcon from the Columbia Tower building chase them, but that's another story). Anyway, a co-worker of mine parked his car there and had offered me a ride home because I usually take the bus but had been working late and missed the bus.

We went to his car, and you LITERALLY couldn't see his paint. We had to go into a nearby restauraunt and get napkins just so we could open the doors without touching the poo. It's was crazy. Man I wish I had my camera that day. Thank god it was just a crappy early 90's Carolla. IF that was my Max I'd go to jail for firing a shotgun in city limits.

Who was it that was running the 1/4 mile at the track and then after the run found a duck or finch or something in his front grill? I remember the picture, but don't remember who it was.

Or the guy who had the black snake in his Max for over a week and it would pop out intermittently and rub against his leg while driving only to hide again - and then finally he got it out only to beat it with a golf club - in which case it only got mad and started chasing him.

That snake post was by far the funniest post I ever read.
