Is Throwing Loose Change at Cars a 'Thing'?

[ghuns]

So I am walking out to my car yesterday after work an notice a large hole in my passenger side headlight. Upon closer inspection, there a f**kin nickel sitting there inside the headlight. As I take a step back and look around, there's a nickel sized ring in the paint of the hood near the headlight...

Is this something crazy kids are doing for fun?

Did I **** someone off?

I've been racking my brain trying to think of when it happened. I'm surprised I didn't notice it when it happened. Had to be like hitting a decent sized rock. And it had to happen at a pretty decent speed for it to penetrate a polycarb headlight lens.

To make this **** me off even more, I just picked up my car from the body shop last week after months of waiting for a cut rate insurance company, parts to come in, and repairs. Whole front end was repainted and the other headlight was replaced. And that headlight was $1600 and took almost a month to get.

WTF is wrong with people?

Mental illness coupled with no accountability/punishment for the perps.. The pics annoy the HELL out of me and it's not my vehicle.. Disgusting little POS that did this should be forced to take a job digging ditches to pay for the repair and I assure it would cure the problem.

A sling shot could do that. I haven't heard of this. Were you in some kind of road rage incident? Did you flip somebody off lately?

Nope. Nothing.

Gee I wonder why insurance premiums are up like 50%

 

[KellyinAvon]

I’m much too cheap to be throwing nickels around like that.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with people?

 

[klausm]

I would agree you would have heard that going down the road so a slingshot makes sense.
Been parked some where sketchy?

there was a Fad years back to throw Steel Ball Bearings at people following too close

Not to be confused with the practice of Truckers emptying their "pee cups" at hitchhikers

Tailgate any bikers lately?

Nope. Hasn't been bike weather lately.

$1,600 for a headlight assembly is just crazy, I bought a pair for my car for a total of $75.00

In parts of Asia it used to be a thing to throw coins into a jet engine while boarding for good luck.

Bidenomics. Used to be a penny for your thought! Already up to a nickle?

I have tossed coins out the sunroof at tailgaters before.

Had a headlight unit repaired under warranty by Subaru on my 2021 Outback. No damage, just stopped working. They told me it would have been $800 if not under warranty. I remember when you could buy a single round sealed headlight for $10. Now you replace the whole unit. Progress, I guess?

Sorry about your bad luck OP.
