Hey gang! Has anyone ever had someone throw something or spit on your car as you go by?? This has happened to me twice in the last 3 days. I am not kidding! A guy tried to make an illegal turn in front of me and i was already commited to the corner. H e gets pissed, and pulls up along side of me and spits on my car! I blew a gasket!! At the next light i got next to him and he rolled his window down, i got real close to his door and hawked a huge loogy right in his face. I know , i probably should have just drove off but.... then tonight these 3 kids were driving at me from opposite direction, one leans out the window and throws something all over my windshield. I wipped a u turn right there and caught up to them at the light. I got out and walked up to his window and told him to get his lil *** out and clean off my window (we were in a turn lane haha!) I used some bad words (oops) and told them i was gonna call them in. I don't know what it is lately but people are asking for some serious trouble. Has this type of thing ever happened to anyone here?? later bros!!

Maybe they were the children of the guy from your first incident.

When they played that football game in Phoenix a couple of weeks ago, I was parked at a topless bar my friend works at. Came out and some ahole had dumped a whole bag with crumbs, of cheetos puff ***** all over the back of my car. The place was packed with drunk idiots from out of town that went to the game. When visiting, please have some respect.
This is not pointed at you, just saw the Ohio thing on your avatar and it boiled my blood real quick.

Sorry this had to be my first post. I was just very pissed and need to hear from some fellow corvette bros! As far as being shot, the first guy i just hammered it and let him figure out what just happened. the second. i knew it was a bunch of kids and more or less just wanted to scare them. I hear what your sayin though. As a former Marine, i have a good eye for that kind of thing. When my 6'4" 285 lb butt got out of the car, i think that was enough to scare them into not doing it again. Plus the embarassment of getting out of his car with everyone watching and having to clean my window in the turn lane was priceless. I thought he was gonna cry. Anyway, not trying to offend anyone this was just something that happened to me i thought i'd share. By the way, killer website!!! lata!

You're definitely a big guy - but you're not faster than a speeding bullet, and I don't think you're more powerful than a locomotive....if you catch my drift.

We all have stories about a$$holes doing and saying things that we chalk up to jealousy. Some are simply haters that hate everyone and everything. None of it is worth getting shot over. Now I don't want to start another thread about people who carry and all that. I'm just saying be careful, that's all.

BTW - welcome!

Blacksedan, i hear ya bro. I by no means was trying to be billy badass or anything and you are right there are some pretty wacked out people out there that would shoot you. I would not have done that to just anyone. I knew they were young kids. Your right about not moving fast, damn age creeps up quick hahaha! Anyway, be safe out there!

You sure you were not in Saint Louis MO? A friend got mad at someone who cut him off, he got out of his car, the other driver responded with pulling a gun out. Food for thought............

Ive never had anyone spit or throw anything at my car however, i had a buddy back in high school that went out with three of his buddies in his ford explorer...they thought it would be funny to egg oncoming traffic at 2am on some back roads. Unfortunately the car they hit was a cop car. My buddy was the driver and he decided to try and outrun the cops...long story short, he got caught, two sets of handcuffs, shotgun point, and went to jail...

Another funny story...my coworker got into it a bit after a car cut him off in a downtown area. He proceeded to follow the guy that cut him off until they reached that guys house. The coworker then jumped out of his truck and pounded on the other guys windshield and yelled some obsenities...I'm surprised he didnt get shot...

Too many nut jobs out there that could pull a gun on you in a second. I'm not one to take $h!t from anyone but when it comes to goofballs on the road, cooler heads prevail. I just make sure my cell phone is close by should I need to call 911. Your pride won't stop someone from ending your life.

Its funny how people get jealous or mad because of your car. I had some guy throw a handfull of ice at my car as he passed in the other direction. It hit my windshield. Ah, what can you do? I still wonder why he had ice in his hand?

i just don't get it. down here in Texas lots of folks have guns. that's why we are all nice to each other. the guy with the car that is likely to get jacked will most likely have a gun.

messing with another man's car at a stop light? that's a big
