Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Pics and Videos WTF?

Come home from the gym, eat dinner and get online to do some work ... I find this done to my car sometime between 10:30 and 11:30.

Of course my first thought when I see it is "oh - flour" - but the stuff isnt flour or sugar, its yellowish, with small reflective crystals in it, and has a salty taste to it ... WTF is this stuff?

When i opened the gas cap it felt loose ... and there was a slight powdery residue inside the fuel filler cap ... I'm wondering if I should tow the car up to a shop and have the tank flushed??

Whats weird is I have NO enemies or people I can think of that would do something like this ...

And you don't know what it is, but you TASTED IT? EWWW!


Aside from that, tow that car and get the tank flushed. Who knows what they put in there...

Whatever it is it looks highly corrosive. Looks like your paint is done for, but I'm not there in person to be able to tell. It could just wash right off, pray it doesn't take clearcoat with it

Bastids. These things reactivate those dormant genes that trigger excessive violence.

whatever it is i hope u washed it off fast so it doesnt do anything to the paint

it's a fire extinguisher. don't worry about any residue around the gas cap. it will be fine. that stuff goes everywhere. just go get a car wash and it will be fine. notice where it looks like the powder was sprayed on with a "jet-stream" type pattern? that's because it was shot of of the hose. i've seen this before. don't get the tank flushed. just wash it off.

Whew! Hey, if you know that for fact!

I'd still be pissed!

LOL...I know what I'm doing next time im drunk!

Fire extinguisher?? How could you be sure?

Here's a few more pics:

Ihate to be a bandwagon whore, but having set offf a fire extinguishing inside and see ing who [censored] up I made things...well I agrreee.

That f-ing sucks. I'd definately try to find out who did it, so you can give them a whiping with words (I didn't say violence.)

Looks like a fire extinguisher spray pattern, but not totally sure. If you can blow it off with your breath, it shouldn't cause any damage to your paint. Hopefully it comes off easily.

I had a similar problem with the punkass kids in my old neighborhood. They would smash my mail box for no reason other than fun. That happend twice randomly. I dislike stupid people.
