Default Re: Name calling with top down

Jealousy. Hands down. You have something nice, something you love, and they don't. If the person has a nice car, or any class, they generally give you second look, and maybe even a smile. But beware of the smile. I have hesitated posting about what happened to me last fall because I didn't want to give the haters any ideas but here it is. Last fall on a warm Sunday drive before I put the car up for the winter, I was on my way home at dusk driving through a classy part of town on a busy residential 2 lane. I was paying attention to the car in front of me, listening to my tunes and loving life when suddenly out of the corner of my left eye I saw a guy in a big commercial pick up truck in on coming traffic tossing something out his window and he conveniently waited until he was in range of me. I looked up and saw him and his two buddies laughing. It happened so fast I had just enough time to duck. I took a direct hit to the windshield and drivers side of the car. Traffic was heavy and by the time I got pulled off the road they were long gone, and I knew my temper would get the best of me, and racing up the road would only get me in trouble. I thought about dialing 911, but this wasn't an emergency. I took a quick look at the car. What they had thrown out the window was a plastic cup with their 'dip' spit in it. I went to the mini detail kit in the trunk and cleaned all the mess up in a matter of minutes. Ironically as I was finishing up two nice looking upscale women out for their walk stopped to admire the car. They loved the color at dusk. We talked for a while. The pleasant conversation put me right back where I was 30 minutes before. Loving life.
