At least it was just an apple.
I got my windshield smashed when my car was about 6 months old.

His '06 C350 SS 6MT, Hers '07 C280 S Auto
I used to live over at nasioc.com (primarily a WRX forum). One guy posted up a story of some acura driver who cut him off then spat a huge lugie up out of his sunroof right onto the windshield of the WRX. There were people posting up that they'd run the guy off the road then kill him. I reckon we are all sometimes guilty of taking our rides too seriously. It is, after all, just a car. That said, I wouldn't have a problem with jumping out of the car and doing a citizen's arrest on anyone who threw anything at my car. I'd call 911 and keep the ****** on his toes with a nice twist on his arm or something. You can't be blamed for being a little rough when he resists a citizens arrest can you?

I dunno....looks like the shape of a tangerine.

Just the other day some children were playing baseball in the streets and happened to swing the ball right at the front bumper. Luckily I wasn't going fast to cause any damage nor were their 5-7 year old arms powerful enough. I left them off with a warning, told them how its okay for any other car but not mine.

Well paint/body damage is quite a different story than someone spitting on your car.

At least he didn't have a gun.
I've been stuck at a red light, with the guy next to me
waving a gun.
Under my sunglasses my eyes were popping out of my head.

When the guy said no and put up his window he started banging on the car, and since it was a red light with like tons of traffic the driver couldn't move. The guy then RIPPED the f-ing wiper off the car and started smacking the car with it! It was kindof comical, but I felt bad for the driver.
