Not really, i just remember you saying something like that in a lawsuit thread. Perhaps the Scottyb-Hass debacle? I forget...

5) Twice had people pass me while giving me the finger (just for the sake of giving me the finger)
6) But my favorite was the 16 year old girl (riding as a passenger in a car stopped to my left at a traffic light) who told me "god, your car is so ugly". My response: "at least I can sell the ugly car, whereas you are stuck forever with your ugly face". She gave me the finger, so I guess that makes three times that I have been flipped off.
You gotta take the bad with the good. Luckily, the good greatly outweighs the bad on this car.
Damn, that's a lot of stuff. #6 is awesome!! It pisses me off that people do this sh*t. I can't see it. Every time I see an exotic or classic, I smile and acknowledge them. How can you get mad at someone for having these things?
I'm going to carry eggs in my car or something to throw back at cars if it happens to me. I'm not going to take sh*t from anyone. I spent too many years working hard to finally buy this car to have some little f*ck mess it up. Also, I'll have a camera with me so I can take the plate down and report to the cops that this douche assaulted me and i want to press charges.
or for those who live in Texas, and any other states that allow it, install a pistol holster next to the shifter console.

no bad experiences. people tend to love my car (as i do). had a guy in a dodge viper give me a nasty look at a stoplight today, but maybe he was just mad he was driving a dodge.

I've seen a dried up loogie on my Elise. It wiped off easily. At least it wasn't egg yolk or a key scratch.

Keep in mind that in a short time that egg will spoil and get really nasty inside. If you drop it or it breaks in the car, the joke/yoke will be on you.

Just store them in the Pinifarina designed egg-launchers.
I keep my Elise garaged 99% of the time... the amount of haters out there is out of control

egg launcher! LOL! I was thinking of tossing around hard boiled eggs if I have to, but I'll take a couple fresh ones every time I drive. Maybe dip them in resin to strengthen them just a bit until they are subjected to a good hit.
Maybe sector111 can come up with a prototype egg launcher for our cars.

I thought someone spit on the passenger side of my car a few days ago but after further contemplation I think it was a seagull with loose bowels. They get fed all sorts of bad food around here.
Sign outside office: "You might be a tourist if: you feed the seagulls french fries and they crap on your head".

I had a complete idiot literally 2 feet off my bumper for 1/2 mile and I was traveling 10 mph over the speed limit When we came to a red light i asked him if there was any reason he was tail gaiting me? His 1st reply was **** off pussy! Then he asked me if I wanted to get out of my car. I replied no thank you, however if you want to get out I will gladly kick your ass. I waited for his response for about 30 seconds then the light turned green and he gave me the finger I puckered my lips and threw a big kiss to him. I turned left and he drove straight ahead. I drove home which is about 5 miles from where the incident occured. About 10 minutes after I got home the pick up truck was in front of my house I live on 4 acres in the middle of nowhere and the truck that was tailgaiting me with some crazy bastard was in front of my house. I pondered on that thought for about 30 seconds then I had to make a quick decision which gun I wanted to greet him with my AR15 , .45 Kimber, Glock or .357 magnum. I was wearing slacks and a Brooks Brothers shirt so I decided that the AR15 wouldn't look good so I decided the .357 magnum was my best bet because it has a 6 inch barrell and is nickel plated which makes it very visible from a distance. I walked out my front door to wave hello and he took off like a bat out of hell. Not a very friendly guy I guess I later found out that he is my girlfriends ex-boyfriend that she dated for 7 years and she speaks to occasionally. She lived with me and she shared her new address with him We broke up shortly after the incident and I have had no more tailgaiting incidents from him. My brother was a police officer and he told me that I can never flash my gun to anyone because I can get into all kinds of trouble with the law I know he is right but I wasn't sure if he had a gun because I had no idea who he was at the time.
