It's a million times worse in a roadster.

Some people do that crap intentionally too. That's what really gets me.

Some fker in front of me just yesterday threw something out his goddamn sunroof. It just missed my windshield so I rode up next to him and gave him The Bird.

i dont like upsetting other drivers when i'm in the z...for all i know, when i pull up next to them to flip them off, they can just throw something at the car, or follow me somewhere and key it or something


idk...maybe im paranoid.

Cigarette butts and washer fluid annoy me, but in the end they don't do significant damage, so whatever. What kills me is the damned construction vehicles that fling a thousand rocks every time they hit a bump. Nothing we can do about that really.

Road rage is, at heart, a silly thing to engage in. For all you know, the driver you just flipped off or cut off or whatever has a gun and a death wish. You just don't know.

...as long as he doesnt havent anything to throw at my car ;)

In VA, approximately 85% of us have a gun.

I generally will never flip someone off but I have no problem doing back what someone just did to me so hopefully they get the message and they sure as hell can't bitch about it when they just did it to me!

Yes they can. If a guy cuts you off, and then you cut him off again in response, that can turn ugly in a hurry. If a guy yells at you and you yell back, same deal. "Eye for an eye", whether justified or not, can turn into a road rage situation. I know people who've had guns pulled on them. I also knew a guy who flew into a rage and chased someone else on foot across I-795 and was killed.

I am much more passive on the road when I can help it. Sometimes my temper gets the better of me, but you have to keep things in perspective. Are you safe? Is your vehicle damaged? Are you endangering others?

I'm not saying I wouldn't have done the same thing you did in that situation. I'm sure I would on a bad day. Just saying that it bears some risk.

Haha, this thread is hilarious. I have never flicked someone off but I have had people spray their windshield fluid with one nozzle pointed up so my old Saab got the full brunt of it. If I had thought about this type of revenge, I would have done that lol.

Yeah, there was a situation here a while back where road rage turned into a gunfight in the middle of traffic. All because someone got cut off. I try my best just to forgive and move on right away.

Meh. While I dont like it when I get sprayed what can you do? If someone gets something on their windshield I dont expect them to not clear it off just because they may get a few drops on the car behind them.

What I do HATE however, is when people throw their cigarette butts out of the window and they hit my car, expecially since they are usually lit. That will cause me to give an extended honk and show of displeasure.

:iagree:

I hate people that ride around with the high beams on. Especially after you pass them. I once threw my protein shake out the window directly at the side of this dumb bitch that purposely threw on her high beams after I passed her. So I slowed down and she ate it. Almost literally because her window was open.

In high school I used to drive an '86 Celica and would turn my spray nozzles (located on the hood) sideways and drive through the school's parking lot and **** **** up! They shot a good 15 ft, most people had no idea what had happened. :) cheers to being young and awesome
