<< Must have been a crappy windshield. Obviously it wasn't the force of the balloon hitting the windshield.. it was the difference in temperature of the water and the windshield itself - though most winshields should be built to withstand that.. Otherwise, hitting a bird could kill people. >>



unless it was a balloon filled with liquid nitro that splattered all over his 110 degree windshield, i don't think the temperature was responsible.
i've only seen temperature crack windshields once when the heater was turned on full blast on a freezing jersey winter night.

<< man, you guys were wild! >>



you call that wild? sheesh... what else do you think as wild? using blue toiletpaper... or is it watching bees mating on PBS?

i think the guy was pretty gracious and let you off easily... count your blessings... alot of bikers love oppurtunities where they can beat your ass.

i do give you props for reasoning with the guy... when you knew full well he could easily come over and mash the both of you then have cheap sex with the friend's sister...

speaking of the friend's sister... is she cute? ;p ;)

ya need to really keep that pride in check... you hitting him with yer car would have put you in jail full of his buddies... where they'd take turns raping you.

So if he was in a bus, you would have hit the bus with your car :confused:, and then what... get the hell out of there before he runs you over? :Q

OK, how much does a baseball weigh? I don't honestly know, but I'd have a hard time believing it was more than a water balloon of equal size. A MLB pitcher can throw a baseball at 100 mph. Would you believe that could break a windshield? How about a baseball thrown at 50 mph?

That much mass moving at any decent speed is a lot of energy.

unless that bird was a duck or something it had no real mass just a lot of feathers...and if it was flying in the direction the car was moving then it had even less of an impact
