Also, the Internet tough guys saying they'd shoot the guy who threw a rock are laughable. That's called murder. No, it isn't self-defense. That rock hitting any body panel on your car is property damage that has a 0% chance of endangering your life. Your windows are shatter-resistant due to federal regulations, so it's not going through those either. If someone throws a rock at your car and you shoot them, you are more wrong than they are. It is not okay to resort to violence to solve any civilian matter if you can avoid it. Being a responsible gun owner requires you to know the difference between an annoyance and a life-threatening situation, and this guy being an idiot is not life-threatening in the least.
Is the Aventador driver a bad driver? I'd say he probably could obey more street laws. The same could be said about a lot of us. A "good" driver, according to people high on the soapbox, never exceeds the speed limit. "Good" implies talent. A "good" baseball player hits and throws like a boss, which incidentally has very little to do with following rules. But I digress.
In any case, I'd like to get away from the violence and hostility. As a car site, I don't see where threats of violence and hostility really fit in.

It would be great if everything could be solved with words instead of fist, but that's unrealistic in some cases. When I was in high school, there was this kid that would throw rocks at people's cars after school let out. He was an 18 Year old bully that picked on everyone. There was no talking to him. One day he got me after school as I was leaving for work. I had a 69 firebird that day that was my dad's because my ride was broke. I got out punched him right in the mouth without saying a word, and as he laid there holding his bloody nose, I told him that I better never see another rock in his hand again aimed for any car let alone mine. He never threw another rock again.
Also, there are many decussions on this site that don't fit in with a car forum, but they still go on because we have a section for them. Many of them I don't agree with and don't care to view them so I don't. I respect you for not being a fan of violence to solve a problem, but I wish you would respect mine for feeling that sometimes it is necessary to correct a situation.
