I would not sully my vehicle with a bumper sticker.

To the people who are asking the OP what he did to provoke this guy, I would 100% believe some jagoff did this out of spite for the OP existing in a sporty convertible car. People are just pricks these days.

Something very similar happened to my friends father last month, a guy in south jersey was passing people late at night and shooting out front windshields as he'd drive by. Finally the police arrested the guy because someone turned around, chased the car down and got the tag # as well as dash cam footage.

So yes, people are assholes, they don't always need a reason to be an asshole, and OP is obviously a calmer and more collected individual than myself because I would have chased this guy down to no end and probably ran him off the road.

Big mistake. I keep a 19 with 16 rounds loaded and an extra mag with 15 rounds. Shoot at me and we will have problems.

No not anymore. Just desert storm military plates.

Absolutely! I learned a long time ago that cops aren’t going to waste their time with this. I would have followed that worthless fuck and taught them a life lesson.

The problem: someone who is willing to do something like this, is the same sort of coward willing to hide behind a gun if you physically confront them - and if their life is this shitty, they may have nothing to lose, and you wind up on the worse end of the situation.

I have a decent amount of training, and while not as active over the last several years, I've kept up with it to supplement my other workouts. However, unlike 10-20 years ago, I escalate nothing now, people are crazy, there's too many guns, I have a spectacular life, an amazing family ... that's my standard response.

See the OP's excellent response below - especially the bold

I am a very experienced CHL holder. I spent 10 years in the Navy with the Marines as a corpsman. I have learned the consequences of hurried, reckless and or hasty decisions to bring deadly force to bear. It is fine to vent and imagine bringing that to bear but the real world seldom reacts the way you want or anticipate. It is my wife, three daughters, and two grandchildren that pop into my head when deciding how to respond to stressful situations.

My plan is to see him, identify him and then press for charges of assault and reckless endangerment. I have already started this process with filing a report and talking with law enforcement. I will then file a small claims case against him for damages to include repair cost and loss of income for the time spent arranging these repairs. These actions will have the most consequences for him and the least for me.

Sounds like a great course of action.

These days any military designation could set some folks off. I don't understand why people can't keep there various hatreds to themselves. Share it with a like minded friend if you feel the need to vent. Don't take it out on an innocent person who just doesn't happen to share your views.

People have lost the concept of being respectful of others.

I think that respect for others disappeared when things like Facebook showed up.

People get so caught up in it that they forget about others.

If it hasn't been covered already did the Starbucks cup have a name or better yet printed label on it?

Lost 911 recording is a "LAZY and lying police officer". I'd have run that one up the chain of command.

My condolences on this happening. As a fellow Vert owner we do tend to be more exposed to the public. I just cringed when I saw the pictures as I felt your pain.. just thinking about the mess and trying to clean it up. I've always had a bit on angst about driving around in a sports car.. even though the Mustang is not a Ferrari or exotic it is still something that alot of people either cannot afford or can't afford to have a daily driver and a second fun vehicle... so there is that tiny % that do stupid things like this.

Hire a PI to track this vermin down if the cops/dmv don't help.

 

[rollininmyfivepointoh]

Sorry that happened to you OP. Hope it gets all cleaned up.
