POST HALLOWEEN DEPRESSION!

Last night was halloween and i was at home busily trying to apply to college before the November 1st deadline, so no halloween parties for me. Anyhow, my car was parked in the driveway like any other night, and this afternoon i discovered that someone tried to dress up my mini as an omelet. IM FURIOUS! i really am. im using the vinegar method to try to get most of it out. Luckily for me, they have horrible aim and most of it is on my rear window, but some did get on my rear bumper give me sympathy please.

That's horrible!! Hopefully it didn't cause too much damage. We were out last night getting something to eat and there were cops EVERYWHERE which I guess is a good thing on Halloween night.

Sorry to hear that man.. I've had that happen to me twice on two different cars at different locations.. One I didn't notice until 2 days later, the other I got most of it off right away, but there's still some egg web... I feel for you..hopefully it's not too bad..Good luck!

That does suck. I was considering parking in the garage last night, but the wife parked the big ole X5 in front of it and I was too lazy to move it. Luckily the only kids that came around were around my kids age, all under 10, and no eggs.

How did that vinegar method work out?

People that have no respect for other's property really irks me!

It's so sad that some kids think of this as fun.

Maybe someday when they own a car it will happen to them. What goes around comes around.

Good luck to you Firebolt in getting the egg splatter off.

thanks to everyone that empathized for me. Well, i was washing my car this afternoon, and because this apparently is my lucky week, it started to pour. Needless to say, i didn't get a good look at what sort of residue this jerk off might have left on my car. i told people at work about the pranksters and they just told me to "stop parking under the chicken-tree" har har har.
Anyway, i have a strong feeling i know who the culprit is. Theres this guy that lives on the end of my block with a 2006 black mustang GT with a skull and cross bones on the hood (classy? i know) Within the first week of buying my new mini, this kid sees me drive home, jumps into his sad excuse for his male genitalia and begins to rev outside my house, taunting me to engage in what apparently he thought was a contest of testostorone levels. Me, not wanting to embarass the lunatic politely declined the invitation. Either way, this guy continues to moon me or do something else obnoxious any chance he gets when he sees me drive by ( i swear, hes outside ALL the time). so im getting the idea that for w/e reason, he doesn't like me very much.I'm 90 percent sure it was him, the other 10 goes towards the chance of a random driver in my neighboorhood who has a personal vendetta against minis and was luckily well armed with dairy products.
I'm not sure whether or not i should take appropriate measures for revenge. I was pissed enough when i found out my car was egged, but im not necessarily and 'eye for an eye' kinda guy. (plus he was recently arrested for posession of a concealed weapon, so im not necessarily sure if i want to get too involved) but yeah, thanks again for your sympathy, maybe if i'll post up some pictures, it might be a good excuse to finally debut my car on NAM for the first time anyway. its pretty sexy if i do say so myself.
PS- i didn't mean to offend any mustang lovers---but i have to admit that about 78.43% of mustang owners are complete *********S
happy motoring

It's a sad thing but I'm afraid my experience with Mustang owners have proven you correct.

I'm of the belief that if you have a problem with someone take it out on them but leave the car alone man, it never did anything to you. Don't understand some people.
