They are required to wash debris off the truck before they go on the road. Should I file a vandalism claim with my insurance company for the egging? Is it worth it? My car looks like it has at least 4 years worth of damage and i only have 14k miles on it. It is a mess. I can't stand mean and irresponsible people who don't give a crap about anyone else! My last car had no chips or rock marks and I had over 50k miles on it! AHHH rant...
As fireamx+ stated ... i too feel your pain... i bought my XF 1 week before halloween... and guess what? halloween= eggs = messy crossfire for me!!!
on halloween i drove thru higher income areas and i got egged... i drove thru lower income areas... not a single egg... back into the richer neighborhoods... and more eggs... i couldn't believe that day!!! My wife was upset as well... she is the one usually trying to calm me down so i wouldn't chase down these guys... but not that day! she wanted to jump out of the car to chase them as well!!!
but that's when i told her...
"honey... in this world there are players and haters... those people egging us are haters... jealous... and losers... 12 eggs hit the crossfire!!! "
and maybe you may want to keep a bra on the front to minimize the chips... i have one but don't use it...
you are not alone... i too have plenty of chips but plan on compounding the areas hoping to blend most of them in... and its really not worth going crazy over/raising blood pressure and all that...
I look at it this way now:
i would rather have a chipped XF than no XF.
