I've searched ferrari chat. save the fact that it is likely that most of those cars are garaged, I haven't found a thread that involves haters of sports cars.

I like this idea! Do I just drop it on the ground in front of them or lob it at their windshield?

Bag of marbles works nice, too. Get in front and drop them on the street. Let them drive through the bouncing marbles and see what breaks or dents.

U have to get it to hit the cement and break. I would just crack it before you store it. Hit it lightly on the corner of the counter so that way the roll is weaker. Then you bounce it against the pavement and the penny's bounce up and mess the front end up. Marbles work the same but cost more.

today i was at a stop light with my girlfriend and out of no where a car comes and turns the corner while throwing out their half full route 44 sonic drink

I wanted to see what kinda bad experiences you guys have had while in your s2000.
Once while driving my last S2000, I was cruising on the local interstate in the far left hand lane (8 lane hwy 70 mph limit) at a fast pace. I flew by a newer Lincoln Mark 8 two lanes over going maybe 20mph faster. This older guy (typical stereotype driving a Lincoln Mark) caught up to me about another mile down the road and tried to run me off the road, swerving into my lane, yelling, making fun of the S, etc. I pulled off on exit last second. Somehow this idiot cut though the grass to get off the same exit (he pass it up since I took it last second) just like the opening scene of Super Troopers where they chased the Miata. He proceeded to tail me, pulled up beside my in a 2 lane secondary road, threw a water bottle and hit my wife in her face. (This is where guns laws should allow people to defend themselves instead of sending them to jail for pulling it out) I sped off a did what was necessary to get away, pulled into a strip mall parking lot and call the police to which nothing happened.

I think the hate was directed at young couple in a roadster instead of just the S2000, but who knows. My wife was a little shaken up, but the conclusion was probably best. Had the guy confronted me in person, there would have been no holding back on him for his behavior. You can hit me, but when your anger hurts someone I love, your are in danger!

Last summer, I was driving to my store with my older cousin in my S2K. It was probably a little after 8:30 p.m. I was driving about 50 mph on a 55 mph speed limit, three lane street when some white girl in a really old, ugly, black Civic came flying past me. She must've saw my S because she hit her brakes and swerved in front of me. She pretty much stopped in front of me and I swerved out of the lane to avoid a rear end collision. She sped up and swerved in front of me again. I got back into the lane I was originally in, which was the last lane on the far right, and passed her. She sped up again and flipped me off. Then she cut me off once again.
I got irritated and got into the lane next to her. I realized she was a stupid brunette white bitch. She had her window down and I had my top down so I was free to yell as I pleased. We were probably driving less than 45 mph now. I honked to make her look at me and when she did, I began yelling, "As soon as you stop, I'm getting out of this motherfucking car and beating your ass, bitch!" She looked frightened.
My cousin began telling me to let it go, but I was angry. She tried speeding up but even with less torque than some owner's desire for, the S2K is still faster than an early '90s Civic sedan. I caught up to her instantly and began yelling at her again. She rolled her window up and we soon came to a redlight. My cousin began begging me not to do anything. I put my car in neutral and put the e-brake on. I made it seem like I was getting out of the car, which really scared the girl. She drove to the next lane... I guess to avoid a confrontation with me because there were more cars in front of us.
I decided to leave it alone after that and just flipped her off.

I've actually had worse stuff happen but it's all too long to go into detail about.

Just wow man..I gotta give most of you guys gives mad props for being so calm... like the other few, I would get out of the car and beat the shit out of the person who threw stuff at my car, cut off more than twice, or flipped the bird at me. In the 10 month of ownership, fortunately I have never had that happen to me, otherwise its game over....
