My car was shot by a random bullet
 
so i go on leave to Texas for a month and come back to fine a bullet hit the hood of my car.if its not one thing its another seems like every time i take one step forward i take two back.im just glad it hit my car rather than someone in my family

awr68 07-06-2009 07:41 PM

Ha actually no its a really nice area but there's a lot of country around so i'm figuring someone was out drunk one night and decided to fire a round off and my car being parked outside was lucky enough to catch it on the hood didn't penetrate but definitely dented and took the paint off

Ouch! Sorry to see that, but you are right. Better the car than a family member.

TreySmith 07-06-2009 08:06 PM

Yeah, definitely a drunk since it looks like a shot that was fired in the air and came down.

I'd leave it there, gives your car some balls. How many camaro's have taken a bullet, ya know? :D

jcal87 07-06-2009 08:43 PM

lol yeah now it has "street cred"

Spiffav8 07-06-2009 08:56 PM

Well now your car has a new nick name....War Pig! LOL

Sorry to hear the news man, that sucks. But on the bright side you still have a Camaro. :thumbsup:

BritishGreen68 07-06-2009 11:37 PM

damn what are the chances of that happening lol...sucks but could be worse i guess.. looks like its on the stripe so should be a fairly easy repaint..

XcYZ 07-07-2009 06:16 AM

WTF? What are the odds... sorry to hear about that.

We were in Ft. Lauderdale, FL this past spring and came out to find a bullet lodged in the decklid of our rental car. It had to have been someone firing up into the air - it didn't puncture all the way through it was just stuck in the outer skin.

I'll have to dig up the pictures.......................

Sorry to hear about your damage.

Bryce 07-07-2009 10:43 AM

throw some kevlar in with the carbon fiber hood, a new line of car products, Bullet proof hoods!!

actually about 1/8" thick carbon fiber while stop some smaller rounds.

spike tv has a show out called a 1000 ways to die. it had a similar situation where a guy fired a bullet in the air and it came down and killed some one a few miles away. i know we love our cars ,but luckly they can be fixed..

jcal87 07-07-2009 06:16 PM

yeah it's pretty crazy I'm just glad its still in the "project" car mode otherwise i would be extremely upset

You can always say, "It's a Texas Bird Turd", Dent! You should see what the birds do to Ricers.

caper150 07-08-2009 04:24 PM

Get yourelf a pack of those fake bullet hole sticker to cover it up, then when someone questions you about it, tell them your covering up a bullet hole but those were nicer,pull it off to show them and then replace it till the next guy asks about nit :lol:

My dad was driving to work at 3 am one day, down a 2 lane highway in a '05 Ram quad cab, when he heard a loud bang. Turns out the truck got shot in the C pillar by what looked like a buck shot pellet. There was a wooded area around, but definately not hunting grounds...

He was very lucky... had he been a split second later, it probably would have come in the window. It was at head level.

Travolta said it best
 
In Pulp Fiction John Travolta said it best "some Dickless piece of ****" I feel your pain! about 30 years ago I had my freshly painted 69 Z28 under a car cover and come out to find a bullet hole in the door and thru the right rear taillight- it went thru housing and into my trunk mounted battery. oh and they cut one of the tires too. so that night I moved it to my girlfriends(now wife of 28+ years) house and the next morning I come out to find my room mates van had a couple gallons of paint poured down the side of it. dont know who or why either -Dickless piece of ****!

TreySmith 07-10-2009 07:34 PM

I just found out a good friend from school accidentally shot and killed himself on the 4th. He was 15 years old.

Be careful guys. :(
