I am not an aggressive driver. I don't cut people off purposely, I don't honk at people because they are slow to start at a light, nor do I ever flash people with my headlights. As usual, I was making my way home from work last night. I tend to work pretty late, so the darkness of night had set in hours ago. The drive home is about 5 minutes from my workplace. Nothing unusual happens. Get home, do my things, and go to sleep.

Wake up this morning. All is good. Big day at work today so I had to get up extra early, put on my newly purchased suit, and head on downstairs to my car. Its still pretty early in the morning so its still kind of dark. Turn on my headlights as I usually do when its still this early. Curiously, that familiar cutoffline that always shows itself on the wall in fronf of my car, does not appear. I think damn, my bulbs finally burned out and I have to go pay some big bucks to replace them at the Honda dealership. Unfortunate, but not the end of the world. So I drive to work.

I pull into the parking lot at work, park my car and get out to smoke a ciggarette before I head into work. As I inhale the wonderful first smoke of the day, I casually walk around my car like I do so often to admire the curves. Even though I have had the car for a while I still love checking it out like the very first time. But what do I see?

Both of my headlights have been smashed in over night! Upon closer inspection, I see a little card had been tucked in under my passenger wiper. I hadn't even noticed it until now. The card only had one sentence on it: "Don't highbeam my again faggit".

So I don't know wtf happened except that somebody must have been blinded by my headlights. I remember friends telling me my headlights are bright as hell but I never thought that it could lead to this. This seems to be a very angry individual, but I just want the rest of the S2000 community to know that people like this do exist, and it could happen to you.

 

I feel for you there, that's brutal. Just goes to show there are idiots everywhere, only problem is they look like everyone else.

 

I was harraseed by the local police for mine b/c he thought they were upgraded and illigal. After he realized it was a bone stock new car with 1000 miles on it, he let me go but was very rude about it.

I know Meeeyach1 got roadraged for his lights being too bright once!

 

My brother's a bit of a gun nut, and he's had a phrase he uses for times like those. Some people are alive simply because its illegal to kill them.

It's not advocating murder, but just goes to show that some people serve no purpose in the grand scheme of things. IMO, people who pull that kind of thing fall into that category.

 

There was a thread about aiming our HIDs a while back.

Some aren't adjusted properly... and especially on hilly or bouncy roads, the change in angle looks like we're hi-beaming the person we're behind.

Heck, even if they are adjusted properly... look at the change in the light cutoff under WOT vs heavy braking....

I live in a place where people are overly sensitive. So I adjusted my headlights down even farther to not have this happen... I don't drive on unlit highway very much so visibility is not a problem.

That really sux, though.

Comprehensive insurance will pay and not raise your rates.

 

.. whats even scarier is the smash n leave-a-note n run happened at your house!!

 

Damn, i hoep your neighbor saw the er that did this, so you can woop his ass. I guess if you don't have the 04 headlights, it's time to get one with insurance money..gl bro

 

ouch... those people think our HID is high beam
i get that all the time ...

 

damn kill him

 

atleast once a night someone flashes their headlights at me. thanks HID's
