so the other day i woke up with an uneasy feeling at about 2:30am, i decided to go check on my rx8. As i approached the passanger side i noticed 3 eggs smashed against the door, i cleaded the yolk and eggshell off the best i could but paint damage had already been done. Does anyone know if the warranty will cover this?

 

I doubt it, but worth a try. I had something similar happen to me a week ago. One morning I go outside to greet Melissa, and there's egg all over her ***. I naturally assumed it was a bird's egg out of the tree I was parked under, because the part egg shell that was still sticking to the car was very thick, about 2-4 mm. But after cleaning the egg off I found the point of impact. The little hairline marks in a small circular orientation gave it away, underneath where "Mazda" is embolden on the rear left butt-cheek. I surmise some kids were having fun with these eggs and my sweet Melissa suffered.


THIS CANNOT STAND! I will have my revenge, and reclaim her honour.

 

If you have comprhensive insurance it may be covered under that. Depending on how badly the paint is etched a shop may be able to buff it out and hit it with some clear coat.

 

It's not a warranty issue.

Insurance should cover it but you'll probably find your excess is more than the cost of repair.

 

Uh, no, vandalism isn't covered under any warranty because it's not a defect of materials or workmanship.

Generally speaking, if your car isn't moving and it's not another car that did the damage, it's a comprehensive claim with your insurance.

 

ouch... sorry dude. you're going to have to get it fixed yourself.

 

I'd kill the f--kers who did this. Even in my worst days as a kid I'd never imagine vandalizing a car or someones personal property, EVEN those a-holes who would double park their precious cars (still a pet peeve!).

 

Another reason to buy a car cover.

The eggs will still cause dings if they are thrown hard enough, but at least the paint won't be saturated in yolk

 

at least they didn't go after it with a nail, you can't buff that out! I just heard from a friend today who bought a new car less than a month ago and someone keyed it all down one side. People that do that deserve to get run over by a train.

I doubt kids know that eggs are bad for your paint though.

 

keyed cars make my ***** soft

 

sorry to hear that deuce, it really sucks
it could be worse though, much worse.


I suggest you becareful in the future because jealousy is a bitch, they might come back for you again, and key your car or something. you can never be too careful

 

its true, it could have been much worse. during my time here ive read a lot of horror stories about vandalism. it may be hard to see it now, but you got off light. regardless, im sorry to hear about your troubles!

 

thanks guys, i didn't think the warranty would cover it but it was worth a shot, unfortunatly my deductable for my insurance would be more then the cost to repair it, so it looks like i'll be digging into the pockets.
