Left my car at SEATAC airport the other day.. The seagulls must have had a freakin' ball!!!! I swear I don't think they hit another car in the lot!!!! Was not parked under a wire, light, tower, nothing.....

 

Better to get pissed on than pissed off.

 

Bad luck. I hate seagulls. They are like flying rats. Out of curiosity, what is the tall pole visible in the reflection on your drivers side window?

 

Holds a sign designating the parking lot section...its about 7-8 feet tall...several spaces away..

 

Years ago a gull crapped on the front of my Lotus Turbo Esprit. I washed it off within a few hours, but by that time it had eaten through the clear coat. Hopefully you fare better. Good luck.

 

Good reason to make sure your wax and/or sealant is in good condition. I'm not saying a coat of wax would have saved your Esprit, it depends on the acidity of the bird bomb.

 

I was well waxed. It ate through that and the clear coat. It's also bad in the Bay Area when the robins get drunk on Pyrocanthas berries and crap out pure acid. Incentive to keep the car very dirty for extra protection or continuously clean. I suspect clear coats are better these days than they were in the 80s.

 

I learned it in the reverse!
Better to be pissed off than be pissed on! But to each his own!

Good reason to wash & wax now and sorry for your "pain"

 

^^ lol I agree but was being sarcastic since he got pissed on, or Shi* on in this case. Hope the paint survived your attack.

 

My wife calls that a Nuclear Attack when it happens to her occasionally!
If I was a seagull and I had to ****, I'd choose a Porsche toilet too if I had options.

 

Terrible. So where's the rain you get there all hours of the day when you need it? On a lighter note, how did you fare approaching the car?

 

I'll bet I can calculate which way the wind was blowing and how hard

 

The ONE day of the year when it wasn't raining in Seattle...go figure!!!

Approaching the car, I probably muttered something like "Holy Sh*t!!"

Sorry, that was supposed to be a joke....

 

By now the crap must have been flushed. Tell us, did the Porsche paint hold up. And if it did, please share your waxing technique with us!

 

I had that happen once while I was at the beach. I was in the car when it happened and it looked like every bird in a flock had released at once. I looked out the window and the only birds I saw within a half mile were a pair of pelicans nearby. I guess it only takes one of those pterodactyl-sized monsters to carpet bomb a car.
