944 Attracts Bird Poo

Girlfriend came home and wants to know if it is just her or others...

When she drives any other vehicle to work, it doesn't attract bird poo. When she drives the 944, the largest of the large birds seem to want to poo all over it.

Any others with this issue?

Not only do birds like my 944, but so do trees! Anything and EVERYTHING that can fall from a tree, stick to my car, and leave sap marks or whatever is attracted to my car! My neighbors make fun of me because every saturday I'm outside cleaning all the poop off my car!

A bird once pooped on my car.

I didn't invite her on a second date.

Hey, as ****ty as it might seem (no pun intended) birds pooping on your car is considered good luck.

i had bird poop on mine the other day.. even though it lives in the garage. birds are smart, not only to recognize the beauty in P cars, but to find a way inside.. pooping on them and then making a quick escape *poop*

And here I thought I was the only one with this problem. Now matter where I park I come out to find bird poop on the car.
Glad to know I am not alone in this.

the scoop on the poop

Yeppers, Bird poop is considered good luck. Especially Foo birds. The bird poop phenomenon is not limited to P cars but loosely extends to other cool cars as well. Quantum probability mechanics are researching the phenomena in hopes that they can develop some protection for buttered toast landing butter side down on expensive carpeting.

Back to topic...Some bird poop is acidic, some is Alkaline, and almost all of it has too much phosphate to be god for paint. Although good luck, It should be washed off fairly quickly. Plain water and paper towels work well enough. Grungy car covers are a good idea near the seashore or close to Audubon sanctuaries.
