I have also had someone piss on the front of my car when it was parked, I've have had a couple kids spit in my car when I passed them and someone threw a coke can at me (I called the police on those ones).

All of these occurances are rare and the verbal compliments/conversation and complimenting stares/thumbups outweigh them dramatically.
Piss on your car!?!

Some people should have never made it past the condom barrier.

Yeah, right in front of my house too. That's what I got for living in a crapy neighborhood. Now that I've moved I get the mommy and daddy crap all the time.

Everytime I drive the S someone tries to race me - no matter if I'm driving the car two blocks to the 7-11 - it happens every time!

Last week I let one of my police officer buddies drive one we had in stock (I'm a Honda dealer) while he was in uniform, and sure enough some idiot kid in a RSX pulled up (radio blasting) at the stop light and started reving. He obviously could not here me, as I was screaming "5-0", "5-0" repeatedly. I told my buddy to act like he was going to go, but lay off we'll get him at the next light. Light turned green - off the RSX went. As it always is in Virginia Beach, we caught the next light and the kid rolled down his window. "MAN - I thought you guys were gonna roll wit me!" I said "Dumb@ss, he is 5-0!" My buddy leaned forward to show the kid his badge and said "Your friggin IDIOT - I'll roll with you when I'm gonna give you a ticket! Now pull forward so I can get your license plate number".

He never took the number down - we were laughing too hard! The RSX stayed about five cars behind us all the way back!

Hyun83, it has happened to me a couple of times in just 2 months. I came to an intersection in the right turn lane and the light was turning yellow. Instead of blasting through the intersection on two wheels, I politely stopped and then turned right on red and was fully turned before the car stopped behind me even started moving. Once the light turned green, this cab driver floored his piece of shi t, ozone destroying car and flew up on my ass. Keep in mind I excellerated off the line once I turned the corner and was going about 20 mph over the speed limit so he was never within 100 feet until he decided to top his car out on a curvey two lane road with a 45mph speed limit just to fly up my ass and then yell at me. I tried to keep my distance but when I finally came to a light to turn left, he passed me on the right cussing the whole way with his left index finger in the up right position. I couldn't figure out why this complete stranger would act like this.

I have also had people pull up beside me and just yell at me. Does my car look offensive????
