Haha, take it easy man. No need to get arrested for pulling some stupid-ass stunts like that.
On a side note, a fairly agressive driver I know tends to pack a couple of donuts in the car with him. He finds them to be invaluable when it comes to throwing things at cars, since they do no damage (although throwing ANYTHING at someone can cause an accident/fight).
You'll run into drivers, both bad and good, but you kinda need to handle this a little better. We've all been cut off and almost hit by dumbass drivers (my favorite is the ones who stop at the sign at an intersection without looking both ways, basically pulling out RIGHT as you're about to broadside them), but for the most part, you need to handle the situation a lot better than that (although it was a little amusing in hindsight).

yea i know it's just that my younger brother was in the car, ya know? i don't want to get in an accident with him in there.
normally i just honk the hell out of people.
oh yea and since you guys don't live in the area, Parker is a private street, not a main one like la veta, chapman, or MAIN even.
