Santa Cruz Trip
I took a trip to Santa Cruz and was welcomed and departed with some lovely gifts. On my way to Santa Cruz I saw something in my rear view mirror that immediately caught my attention.


I had to let them catch up so I could check out the rest of the car, but I had no idea I was in for such a treat.

After seeing the side of the car I thought the madness was over, but the grand finale was still in store.

When I arrived at Santa Cruz I parked my car and started eating some Jack in Box that I picked up on the way. There was this huge seagull that wanted some of my food and had no problem coming closer and closer I hopes that I would toss him some food.
Reenactment
Unfortunately for him I was starving and did to intend of giving him any food. He kept on getting closer and closer so I chased him off. What happened next truly shocked me. He flew off from me chasing him, then turned around circling back toward me and tried to s h i t on me. I was like
and quickly got out of the way. The seagulls in Santa Cruz don't F around. I can't believe he had the balls to intentionally try to s h i t on me like that.
At this point I thought he would just fly off, nope. He landed right back where he was before only this time he was closer and was looking straight at me. I didn't want anymore trouble so I just let him stay there and wasn't going to chase him away. He stood his ground for a few minutes then finally flew away since I wasn't giving him any food.
Fast forward to the end of the day, I head back to my car to leave. When I get to my car I find out the I have been pwned by some seagulls.


I know I'm being paranoid, but I know is was that same damn seagull who was pissed that I didn't give him any food. It looks like he also got some of his boys to join in on the fun. I think he went to his boys and said, "Let's go F up this self-indulgent wiener's car, he didn't give me any food."
The last memento of the day was that someone decided to park their boat right next me.



What a day!
Top Gear did a review of the Challenger (alongside the Caddy CTS and the Corvette). The bottom line was that it was a big, fat pseudo-muscle car with exceptionally poor handling. Standard GM fare.
I totally believe you that it was the same sea gull. You are on his turf and he was showing you what happens when we don't share our food.lol. Very spiteful birds. I have seen a Gull at the beach wait until the people went to get lunch and he and his buddies took their blankets and two full bags of Doritos.
It looks like that guy stole someones electric organ pipes and stuck it on his POS! I am sure that it is one of those noisy,whiny,irritating ones too to make it sound fast from the interior.
I saw the Challenger at the auto show this year. It is way too big for my taste.
I'll bet there were 20 other spaces to park in to the right of you but he chose the one right next to you at door ding length.
Interesting trip you had there.
thats sad what they did to that 240SX......
Nice wheels.

those new camaros and chargers look gay man. they say, HEY! LOOK AT ME! I WANT TO BE NOTICED! I don't think they are classy at all. Don't get me wrong, I like them a tad, but wouldn't buy one.


Looks like you had a great day, other than the gulls pounding you! They're fearless. When I was in the Bahamas a couple of years ago, they'd walk a couple of feet away from you and squawk like hell, looking directly at you, if you had food outside. They wouldn't give any ground either. Same deal with the gulls that hang out in Baltimore when I lived there, too. They'll kick your a$$ for a french fry!
Hadn't had my Z next to a Challenger yet, but all that I've read thus far, they're a bit of a barge.
As for the rice-mobile, what's hanging off the passenger-side rear bumper, opposite from those organ pipes? It looks like the car grew a tail?
