    People keep messing with my VX

    So two days ago my girlfriend decided to cover my car in post it notes while I was studying at the library...

    To my surprise, those little buggers will hold on past 50 mph!



    But just last night, got hit with a water balloon
    Luckily I was able to find the hooligans, and they are promising to pay for the damages. Still a PITA though.

    That can't be a water balloon,at least not filled with water.
    The stickers aren't a big deal though but how can anyone just decide to throw any thing at someone else's private property in the 1srt place ?
    Sorry man for the bad moment.
    Dakar was just the begining.

    I don't know, that looks like WAY too much damage for it to be just a water balloon. I hope they have to pay for the damage. Gotta learn some responsibility for one's actions. :sighg:

    +1. Must have been something harder inside to make it travel farther (rock maybe?)

    I think the Post It note prank is hillarious. At least they where smart enough to confine them mostly to the windows. I also like the fact that you drove around with them on.

    As for the damage.....someone has to die!! I can't believe that a water balloon did that. That's crazy.

    I'm with Bart...if you so much as look at the VX wrong we're going to have problems. Heck, I've lost girlfriends over that car because they thought that I loved the car more than them (they where right).

    How are you ok with that damage...thats is not going to be easiest repair. Call the cops becuase once they get the bill I am sure they are not going to want to pay.

    BTW - it was not a water ballon - you should know that.

    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.
