you are lucky the guy in the Truck that yo threw the cup at didn't chase you down and beat the $#!* out of you. I know if Some one threw a cup and hit my car I woulld not take it very lightly. Be careful out there man alot of people carry guns now a days. Its just not worth it.
x100

You never know what people have in their car. Irking you to do something to react just so they have a reason to pull out there weapon isn't worth proving anything. Treat things like your last encounter and your day will be even better.

No matter how stupid someone may drive throwing something at their car is jus bad karma coming back to you.

I highly doubt that. I'd be more concerned driving in the surrounding area where the OP seems to get in all the drama.

Keep it on the track I say and stay safe. It's never worth the trouble.
Anyone can drive like a foooo on the street. It doesn't take any skills.

I like to let people like that pass on by. Seems to piss them off more when you don't take them on anyway.

The track is where the real men are seperated from the boys (as a total track noob I have nothing but respect for those I've seen that really can handle their cars on the track). Now that takes skill.

Go to an auto x, it's one at a time and although the speeds are much different it's just as much fun.

some new camaro revved at me the other day at a light so i revved back and then didnt race. it was hilarious to see him gun it like he had everything the prove.

i avoid racing and other stupid road situations for a few reasons. the number one reason is that i usually keep a gun in my car unless im going to or coming from work. having a gun with me keeps me pretty level headed and makes me want to avoid confrontation because i know going for a gun is a last resort, and probably the first thing i would go for in a road-side confrontation.

even when i dont have a gun in the car i keep this mentality because i think that the other driver might, and also might not be as responsible with a gun as i.


on a side note:

mac, how does one get involved with auto x? i really want to learn to drive my car!
im kind of scared of looking like a noob out there though...
