 Fuller, I agree with you completely about rap.  I don't object to the music, but to the volume.  I live on the 6th floor of a condo building set back from the street, but sometimes my windows rattle from the speakers of a passing car.  I believe some of those kids spend more money on the audio system than on the car itself.

My husband used to growl, "If it was written after 1900, I'm not interested."  His only exception was the big band music of World War II, his war.

As for your self-defense plan when you're in the car, I never thought of fighting fire with fire.  I usually fight fire with water, by putting up my windows and ignoring them.  My other trick is to smile as if I liked it, which takes all the fun out of it for them. 

I think Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, with the cannons firing, might rattle their brains.  If I turned up the volume full blast, my brains would be the first to go - but what a way to go!  On second thought, grand opera would be a terrific offensive weapon, it'd drive 'em crazy.  Tee hee.  Patty
