Mother Nature Egged My Mini???

O.k., first I live in the mountains of Colorado near Keystone. We have no gangs, very little crime at all. So this morning I go out and I see my car has been egged, and the yoke is still fresh so it happened not to long ago. So I'm thinking WTF!!!! So I'm thinking who could of done this EVERYBODY likes me, I mean come on. I'm happily married, I have no mistress. My kids still like me even though there in there teens. So I start to observe the angle of the hits (two) and they definately came from an angle towards the street. You see I'm working on my garage so I left Tater Tot outside last night. Don't scold me. I then notice that there are shells on the back of the car as well as the driveway. So I carefully examine one. The shells are not your typical smooth shell but rough with bumps, not like any egg I've ever cooked. Yes I can cook. So I hose the car off, which really made it worse it just kind of slid down the side even with the dial on jet. So I started to drive down to the car wash and as I pulled out onto the street I noticed eggs on the street and a few in peoples driveway. Probably about half a dozen. For about a block. So I'm thinking was this some gift from birds above or just some stupid kids who were dropping them in the street as they attempted to throw them. It was about 6:30am so didn't see any neighbors out and about. The bottom line is I think it was a gift from a flock of birds flying by (wouldn't know what kind) but has anyone else had this happen? And any advise on what to do with the paint. I did take it to the car wash and power washed it. I would say it all came off but should I do anything else to the paint to protect it. A good polish the wax ect.. Let me know anyones thoughts. And if ever in the mountains near Keystone always look UP.:idea:

 

Thanks Metalman, biggest hit was the sunroof just went all the way across it. The hit on the door was low, I did wash it really good, got it off. Just wanted to do something tonight when I get home.

 

Crashton, I think you hit the nail on the head! I think it was a big bird we have alot of hawks and golden eagles around and they lost there loot on my car. I guess will never really know. But I like your thinking.

 

Come on Metalman Keystone is not your typical hoodlgan area. Or it could be some birds just having a good time bombing peoples cars. Think about it they were out for a joy fly early this morning. I called the Sherrif's Dept. and they said know one report having there cars hit on my street except me. The worst part if it was birds is that I feed the birds in the back yard, dam bastards. Or its just hooligans, anyway when I get home from work I got some polishing and waxing to do.

 

O.K. I was going to update this last night but we had the biggest rain, hail, lightning storm I have ever seen in my 12 yrs. in Colorado last night. Lost power, internet the works. So I leaving work from Winter Park, CO. to my home in Keystone,CO. its around 7:45 I hit Georgetown and it's dumping, I mean I have been through some gully washers in Tx., but this was unfreaking believable. So proceed, theres a cliff wall about 500 ft. straight up along the highway and the water is coming over it like a giant waterfall. My headlights are reflecting like in a white out of snow because my car is plowing through the water because its not draining fast enough. And then the hail starts. I'm not to worried about the hail because at higher elevations it stays small maybe pee size. So I'm going maybe twenty mph., in a 60 mph zone cause I can't see a thing. It's hailing so much that it collecting on my windshield corners like snow in the winter. I go about another three miles or so and I come across the chain up station for trucks. There are cars parked everywhere. So I think about stopping and then I realize I'm at the end of the truck area so there's no room to pull over. So I keep going and the hail lets up but the rain is just coming down. Then from out of the freaking blue a small bird just plops on to my windshield scars the Sh-- out of me. I'm thinking WTF have I done today this bird was definately killed by the hail before it ever hit the car. The poor guy looked pretty beat up. He fell right under the wipers in the middle so it couldn't be taken off. So I drove for another few miles with this dead bird staring at me. Felt sorry for him but dam, I already had eggs on my car in the morning and now this. Man what was next the end of mankind as I know it. I mean this was one of those storms that when its over you say YA, I SURVIVED!!! Which I did. So now I'm approaching the tunnels that cut through the mountains and its still coming down, but I have got to get this bird off. So I pull over call my wife and tell her my farewell incase I get struck by lightning, these bolts are popping everywhere, she tells me she needs to get off the phone because the lightning is so bad. I'm thinking no SH--!!! I'm telling you my last farewell!!! So I get out and I got nothing to grab this dead bird with and then it hits me. I have my Ice scrapper in the boot. So I open the boot let all of mother natures rain in get the freaking bird, ask it were you the one who dropped eggs on my car this morning? There was no reply. I took the bird to the edge of the parking lot where I saw what I thought was dirt put it down. It wasn't dirt, it was water flowing back onto the highway. You guest it, right into the road and here comes Mr.18wheeler I can't look get back in the car and drive through the tunnel. My first dry moment in 30 minutes and I was enjoying it because I new what was at the other end of the tunnel. HELL from the sky!!! So bottom line I never got to work on the car last night. But I think between the rain, hail dead bird, I'm good!

 

Yes, I survived. I looked the car over this morning and no hail damage, but there was a note with a birds footprint for a signature saying sorry for the mishap yesterday. I guess they heard how well I treated there bird friend on the highway.

 

CHKMINI, maybe you need some higher heels? You've gotta believe if you "Build it they will come"....and it wasn't flying Monkeys it was the same animal that deposited that deer in the telephone lines that made the news last week or so, that deposit the bird on my Mini. (I believe)
