Default bad for the car?

man...crap just keeps happening to my poor egg....first the bugs, now this...

I just got home from a get together with some friends, we sorta sat out on the street for a while and talked and now, here comes this guy. I dont really know him but hes big, and for some reason, he picks my poor car's hood to use as a seat. Now, I'm sitting in the driver seat, lights off, engine off, I'm just sitting there and I feel the entire car drop like 4 inches when he sits his ___ down on my car. I'm thinking "oh the humanity, what the hell is this going to do to my suspension?"

And then, I hear something CRACK. This guy weighed maybe 250 lbs, I'm not sure if he did any real harm to my car but that crack didnt sound good. I'm going to give my car a once over tommorrow morning. Anyone had this happen before? anyone know what i'm talking about?

Yes..having a 250 lb. person sit on your hood is bad for the car. I would have flipped out. Even if he was a big mean guy and you were afraid of him, I would have still just asked nicely, like "Dude, could you please not sit on my car...thanks." If that doesn't work, there's always reverse.

yeah... next time have that electic forcefield hooked up to the metal on your car. so that way he gets a little surprise the next time he thinks its a good idea to sit his big ol' butt on your hood

You should've hit the horn, just a bit.

Man, that does sound bad....I think I'd have had to ask him to park his fat ___ somewhere else, like on something he is paying for...

Did he dent the hood? You might want to really give all the plastic stuff under the hood a close look... headlights, radiator, grille mounts....Just to be safe...

Next time you see him headed your way, point out there is a difference between a car and a lawn chair.

I don't care how big he was if it was my car I would have layed his ___ out on the sidewalk. Sitting on someones car is like spitting in thier face, it's rude and you just don't do it.

I would have also given the horn a little action too, since he was sitting right on it.

I looked over the car, looked under the hood, everything looks fine, I cant seem to locate the source of the crack I heard last night

I'm more worried over structural damage though, maybe he popped something loose inside

You need to take a shovel and pop something loose inside his head.

Surely he didn't break anything structural.....
Was the parking brake on??? If it wasn't up real tight, it might have just been the shoes....

If you haven't noticed anything after a couple of days driving, I'd say there was no damage done...It could have just been a strut protesting where Fat Albert decided to park...
