Comprehensive insurance will cover that. File it under "Falling Objects" Sucks to be sure, but that could make the blow a little easier. I'm a Geico Adjuster that works in VB.

Makes you wish you had a dash cam.

Glad you are OK.

He will likely be on that road again, same time of day. So how fracking mad are you?

That blows. I have no life, but if I were you, I'd stake out that section of road and find that A$$hole. More than likely he's local(ish).

That's why God invented guns and kneecaps. Na, Only kidding, but if you ever find him for sure,at least let the air out of his tires!! Hate people who can't control their temper when pissed off during mild altercations.

Hey wait, I just re-read he blew your tires....go for the knee cap and then his tires.(at least finish off his tires!)

Wow that sucks what an idiot!!!! not only that he probably blew another 10-15 cars as well after yours with the nails in the road. One thing that could give you a little joy is that tomorrow when he drives down that road agin hopefully one or more of his own Effing nails will do his tires too!!!

Was the paintwork ok?

Sorry to hear this. It sucks, to be sure.

But since no one else had the clankers to ask-what did you do?

Just turned on the puter, and was about to ask same question, "What did you do to get him that psd off?"

Do exactly what NeverEnough has suggested. Its a comp claim and hopefully you have a low deductible or zero deductible.
Lynnhaven Fish House still open?

My father could be a real pecker sometimes. If you burned him he had a litany of evil little tricks to get people back. One of them was roofing nails. Son, he says, when you nail someones driveway there are a few rules to follow. Use roofing nails, they have a broad head and tend to flip up when you run over them. Make sure the nail is just long enough to cause a flat. If it's too long it won't be able to rotate far enough to get into the tire. If your lucky they will have a gravel driveway so they will never find all the nails. So you get months of pay back.
Me? I'm not like that. It's between you, me, and the ball bat I happen to be carrying.

Rush... this post explains a lot! My suspicions about you and your evil ways were correct all along

The real questions is what caused this man to throw roofing nails at you. What motivates a guy to do such a thing. I am missing some of this story.

DUDE!
WOW!
Don't know what to say.

So what exactly did you do to him?

When I drive the XF's I "may" drive a bit aggressive.

I think I'll try to drive a little nicer now.

Talking Re: ^%$&^%$^$ I'm sooo mad dude threw nails at my car!

Gotta be easy to find a roofer that is a baseball star????????

How else could he throw nails that far forward to get them in front of you car, unless you let him in front. And them he had to throw them out the side and your next to him????

If you saw him throw them, then you should have changed lanes and nailed ha ha the brakes?????

I dont see how this is all possible cause you got the speed and mobility to do lots to avoid this and yet you were behind him, I dont understand how that this comes together.

Wanna explain what was going on BEFORE he got dangerous??

No offense to any pick up owners here but I ran into a real ***** on the road this past Monday night. He was driving a white F-350 (looked to be a more recent model) hauling what looked to be a small bobcat. He had one of his headlights out, and the reason I mention this, is that I knew when I pulled up ahead of him before a red light, that those weren't his low beams shining in my rear view mirror.

We were waiting at a light to enter an on ramp to the highway and he must have thought I cut him off before the light so he turn his highbeams on which were about eye level with my rearview mirror. I almost rolled down the window and flicked him off when the light turned green but instead I decided to just zoom off and maintain composure.

How ******* annoying. [NOTE TO ALL: Was expecting this to be censored! Sorry.]
