/rant/ I Can't even take the car down the street...:(
I HARDLY drive my IS.
To show an example, I've had it 14 months and put on 2k miles on it. I've had my truck since May 8th and I've put 2.5k on it.
So I decided to take my car out for a quick errand, maybe about 10 blocks away from the house. I park it HELLA far, maybe about 30 empty spots between my car and the next one. Nobody around.
I'm gone for about 5 mins in the building and come back out to my car. About 4 car spots away from me is some big thug looking dude sitting in his car, waving a bottle of what looks like water out of his window. As I approach my car, he stops waving the bottle and is staring at me as I load my stuff in the car and get in. BECAUSE he's doing this, I hurry and start the car to go. My husband notices the car has stuff all over it. "WTH, there's water drops all over the car!" he says.
By the time I get home and get out of the car to unload my bag, my husband mumbles something and runs to the sink in the garage.
Apparently it wasn't water in that bottle. There was what looked like powdery white stuff all over my car. The "water" dried up into a white substance. I took a glance, saw it and quickly went into the house (to avoid seeing it more) while he was cleaning it off.
I didn't go back out to see it - and he didn't mention more about it because I'm so picky that if it were to damage it, I'd cry.
I hope it wasn't something real bad.
It's just really sad that I can't even go run to do an errand and someone has to do something like that to my Micaiah.

He didn't say. He just spent time with the car cleaning it and came back in and didn't say anything. I'm going to look at the car in the morning in the sun and see if it all came out and no damage.
But more than anything, it's just the point that some guy with nothing better to do sat there and was flinging stuff all over my car for no reason other than for fun.

I hate people! HATE! The other day I parked at the local liquor mart before a party, some annoying teens parked next to me, I came back to my car, and there was a big SPIT on my CF hood. Damn kids!

Im sure the guy had nothing to do with it. and if you cant drive your own car without him tripping like that, I'd sell it. Its not that serious, ppl gonna hate... but accidents do happen matter how hard you try to avoid damage to your car. Materialistic things can be replaced.

And who is "him tripping like that"?
I've seen it when someone poured Jasco all over my room mate's one week old car, ppl gonna hate, to the tune of a brand new paint job and chemical burns on her hands because she touched it, not knowing what it was all over her car. Yep, that was not that serious. Accidents happen.
Materialistic things can be replaced, yes, but you know nothing about my car, IF it CAN be replaced and if I'm in the financial circumstance to ever replace it.
By the way, are you some big thug looking dude that lives in Contra Costa?

Wow sorry to hear that! I freaking hate a lot of people, they seem to not have anything better to do than be a sorry piece of trash. I always worry that someone is going to damage my car but I would not let it stop me from enjoying it (its the only car I have so that may factor into the equation
.) Around here you more have to worry about idiot distracted drivers than you do vandalism.
Even if he was a thug my hot headedness about my car would have probably caused a confrontation if I caught him sloshing stuff on my car. I turn into Mrs. Hyde when somebody damages my vehicles
Hopefully it was nothing dangerous to your paint.
