I swear that must have been a frickin condor that ate a pot of chili and then drank someone's spit cup to wash it down.

that's birdshit, just by the splatter pattern, splats towards the passenger side on the roof and glances down on the bottom on your back door.

Most likely, it was a flock of some kind of birds - I was in my car once when it happened (thankfully, early spring, windows closed, roof closed), at a stoplight ... when I hear "sp-sp-sp-sp-pl-pl-pl-pl-aaaaaaatttt!" - like 20 splats - goddamn flock of ducks flying over. Where's a shotgun when you need it? Oh DAFFY?

Here's the feature your car needs:

Bird Repellent

I also am a beliver of this.

I have consistently found that when I come out of work that my car is always crapped on and other cars nearby are not touched. I have worked at the same place for 9 years and I have had 3 cars in those 9 years, all white.

My car got hit by a big blob of bird **** early this week in the parking lot. It was so big (and messy), when it hit, it set off the car alarm. It was just one blob, but it was huge. Drooped all the way down the side off the car, and looked like an white explosion on my red car.

You dont have to be by a tree to get bird **** on you or your car lol. I was on a express way and I would say a BIG bird or duck droped a pile of crap on my 8. I mean all over my 8. + I was on my way to work so I had to stop and get my car washed and waxed. Oh well I was the MG anyhow

I had a somewhat similiar experience. I had just finished wiping my car off at my house and decided to take a short cruise, as soon as I pulled away birds literally **** all over my car. It sounded like huge rain drops hitting my car. I thought it was until I seen it running down my windshield. Today marks the fifth day in a row that the little bastards have **** on my car.

It's also like the 7th day in a row it has rained. It's f*cking impossible to keep my car clean.

Man...those Canadian geese drop bombs like B-52's!!

The splattering of TAR my rx-8 received recently wasn't at all amusing. Meguiars Bug and Tar Remover did a good job of getting it off though.
