    Post-it notes:
    Driving around with the post it notes on was hilarious. Almost every single person just stopped in their tracks and stared. And I should share that we have a fun little "poke war" going on. She decided to take it outside of facebook, and she wrote "POKE" on the car with some car paint. Then I covered her room in post it notes with "poke" written on them. Each of those post-its on the car had "poke" written on them too.

    Water Balloon:
    First of all, it was most definitely just a water balloon, filled with nothing but water. It was a small water balloon though, thrown from a 3rd story balcony. I think what caused the extent of the damage was a combination of things. I was going about 30 miles per hour, and at the exact moment I got hit with the water balloons, the front wheels where hitting a speed bump. So the car was being pushed upward, and the small balloon will cause more damage than a larger balloon... But yea, I'm still amazed that it caused the damage.

    I found the guys who were tossing them, I wasn't the only car they hit-- hopefully the only one that took damage though. Took down all their pertinent information. I'm not going to sue, cause they are promising to pay for the damage, just going to write up a document and have them sign that they are paying for the damages... So thats all good, still a PITA to deal with.

    Still highly doubt it was just a water balloon - its science.

    maybe if the

    balloons were of a thicker quality latex it could have done this. Remember Kramers hull protectant ballon to prevent oil spills.

    That does suck and roger on turning their sore butts over to the police. Good news for you. When I had the body work done in Jan following the car port collapse, Merlin said that there were a lot of front fenders in the supply system

    We're convinced. It's just and interesting topic to speculate on
