    Just curious if someone else has experience this or maybe I was just unlucky. Few months back I went from a 2012 Nautical Blue to a 2021 Cement. In the 3 years living at my current home I dont recall my last one being hit once with this. Well not even 2 days after arriving home my new Taco got :crapstorm: on it all over the driver side. Fast forward to yesterday and this happened. It was a bad scene, it almost looks that it was done purposely. :rofl:image_50416897.jpg image_55415491 (2).jpg image_67159553.jpg

    I didn't, but I know when it happened. When to the store got back home, not even 10 minutes later I go outside to get something out of it and it was like that. Very unusual for sure.

    I deserve it then, went from a TX Pro to the sport for the Skewp alone. o_O:rofl:I added the Skewp to my last one, did not want it to go thru that with a brand new this time lol.

    Mine gets a duty or two on it but not much more than the green Liberty CRD I had before it. I try to wash the truck every week or two and I carry a spray bottle of waterless car wash and a few microfiber towels. If I see a nasty bird Doo Doo I get it.
    Again though I have seen nothing like those pics done to mine. What do you have Kamikaze bomber seagulls?

    Birds shit shortly after take off (shed some weight for flight). You parked close to some trees where I would assume they would be hanging out in said trees to snipe food from the lot.

    You don't by chance have a flock of turkey vultures roosting in the trees around the corner from your house ? Or have a neighbor that feeds all the ravens in the neighborhood do you? Mine has looked like that on a couple of occasions and the previously mentioned factors were the cause. :thumbsup:

    Just a thought........

    Quit parking under or near trees.

    Go out at night, look close at the trees in the neighborhood. Figure out which tree the birds are roosting in......then park away from that tree.

    Crazy thing is that never happen to my old one. There is a big tree in my front yard. Also they aim that shit perfect both times. Nothing on the driveway or grass around the truck.


    There is a pond/wetlands behind my house. Lots of birds and other animals around all the time. But I haven’t seen anyone feed them.


    The front yard tree is on the side of the truck. This happened while park on my driveway, nothing above it. During the winter is inside the garage, summer time she sits outside due to my motorcycles being on her spot.
