How often does your car get hit by bird poop? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

It's inversely related to the amount of time elapsed since I last washed it.

Mine is in the garage most of the time

WadeWilson · 03-17-2012, 10:21 AM

I did a number crunch and mine gets hit 32.33 (repeating of course) percent of the time I take it out.

IROCanSS · 03-17-2012, 10:36 AM

I also had this problem. This and my insecurity with parking and getting scratched so....

I solved both problems with my die grinder. I ground off all the paint. Now I don't have to worry about scratches and the birds aren't attracted to the shiny finish of a painted car.

Down side, I have to keep in in the garage now because any contact with moisture and it's rusts immediately. So now not only do my rotors rust, the whole car does...

Sent while on baby duty.... please sleep

With all the technology available these days, you'd think On-Star would have some sort of early warning system, maybe include the voice/map/or even camera features to help with this unchallenged problem.
There should also be some sort of sonar/hi-frequency deterrent that could emit from the antenna to shoo birds away.
If GM is so blind to this problem we are having with these cars, perhaps we should start to lobby for the return of widespread use of DDT, and end this bird problem once and for all.

(Just kidding!!!....lol)...

That looks like a scene from one of those horror films.

I have not had any bombs yet but damn I can imagine what that must have been like.

Every time i park under a tree mainly.

This one time it was super bad, looked like it rain'd bird crap

Muscle SS · 03-17-2012, 12:38 PM

On average? I think every f***ing 6 seconds, unless I just washed her, then every 2. God damn nature creatures

Khmero215 · 03-17-2012, 12:53 PM

I avoid eating at our local vista point because a flock of sea gulls raids the parking lot looking for everyone's fast food left overs. That is the sh**s.
