Animals messing with our ZHPs!!

[SoCalZman]

Seeing my fellow car enthusiasts post their intentionally comical stories about their battles with little animals messing with their car is usually entertaining and everyone gets a good laugh out of it because the human is usually the victor. But what about when the little devils have wings?!?

After getting home from my twice montly trip to Los Angeles, I walked accross the street to check on my (covered) car like usual and noticed a bunch of bird droppings on the cover. Upon closer inspection, I noticed 10+ small to medium sized holes ripped into the cover next to each dropping. An armada of birds had been hanging out on the car cover the weekend and the little bastards munched on my car cover! I have never seen any birds anywhere around the car before this and I have no idea why they were feasting (and doing their business) on my poor car.

I taped up the holes before a rainstorm moved in. Where is a neighborhood cat when you need one? hmph.

Bugs attack my car as soon as I wash it.

Our little yorkie loves to follow me around when I'm home. On more than one occasion I've gone out to the garage to get something out of the car, she has followed me and immediately jumped in thinking we were going for a drive. On more than a few times I forget she has jumped in and shut the car door and go inside. A little while later, the kids or I will be like, where is Jasmine? Then it usually clicks and I go out and look at the car to see her starring out the window with a "Seriously?! WTF?!" Look on her face. Haa

I have a raccoon that lives close to my house and it seems once a week he tries to kill himself with my car. . . I have to be careful pulling out at night... I hit him once doing like 15-20 and he ran off... two days later tried it again... I don't understand animals and the obsession with head lights.

Ok my co worker thinks its birds using it for building material for nests. If thats true that means they were not just passing through and will probably be back for more. ugh.
