Has this happened to you?

I just got a R57 S loaner from my dealer, loving it so far for the most part.

So after a nice 40 mile long drive with the top down at night in 50 degree weather, I exit the freeway and some little bastards in an Altima throw a cracker into our car, nicking my shoulder. Being a little confused about flying dry food hitting me, I slowly start to go after the light goes green and they immediately pull behind me and turn away soon thereafter. Having my wife in the car, I decided not to follow and do anything rash.

Regardless, has anyone suffered this unfortunate lack of common decency from others or am I the only one?

Not in a convertible but it has happened to me in my Nissan. Damn high school kids had a scoring system for it and it festered into a major problem where I was living at the time. Some kids even got arrested for it after it caused an accident.

Hrm. I would just pretend their grunts are signs of approval. Give 'em a thumbs up and drive on!
