There was a car in front of him so I wasn't sure if he was trying to get me to run or he was just being stupid. Wow,... I'm sure his V10 is just a tad bit faster than me, lol... no need to gloat about it. I think the first thing he needs to do is get a paint job since the paint on his fender and hood was all oxidized like it had been sitting in the sun for the past 20 years. What a shame he let a Viper get that way.
Or maybe he was curious what our cars could do? After all, our cars do look pretty fast lol. All kidding aside, I actually would feel flattered, since a viper owner would not have done that if you are in a civic (no offense to civics).

Read about this happening to other Z's. But never me until the last couple of times, out with the Nismo. People taking pictures of me driving it. I must be on atleast 7 cell phones. LOL Oh, Tonight my new GF said that it sounded healthy. This is coming from a 59yr. old woman.

Throwing a drink at a NISMO Z should be punished by 17 years in prison, and a naked whipping every year during the duration and min 100 hours of aggressive physco theory. Following the jail period, they are not allowed to hold or buy drinks for 5 years after the sentance.

Had a guy in some luxury 4d don't remember what it was buy he kept driving next to me on the freeway showing off or something... He then decided to drive on to the shoulder and attempt to throw rocks up at my car as I was in the fast lane. I was pissed.

Wow, I thought these were isolated incidents. I actually had somebody throw what appeared to be a big ball bearing at my windshield; it cracked it pretty bad. I'm still furious. The guy was in a brand new STi and you'd think he'd respect another expensive vehicle, but he had two young kids in the car, was driving like a jackass, and threw something at my car with no provocation. I probably should have chased him down but I didn't realize the extent of the damage right away... heard it hit the windshield, didn't see anything, and like 20 minutes later it spiderwebbed.

What the hell is this? You take down his license plate number, pull over, and call the police immediately.

I know, I know... ironically, I'm actually a big dude and he was some scrawny wanna-G. I don't know what came over me to let this go when normally I would have turned into The Hulk... maybe I'm getting old. Anyway, I have a cracked windshield to remind me every day that I should've beat that guy's ***. Just got it tinted a few days before the incident and it doesn't obscure my vision yet, so I'm gonna stay in denial until it does. :P

Ask your tinter and see if he takes insurance, my tinter does and he was able to replace the windsheild on one of my older cars and retint the car and all I paid was my deductible
