As I started to make this thread I realized I could easily test this with magnet, but my car is at the shop right now getting the window replaced after getting shot up. I feel like the hood is so light it has to be aluminum, and the way the bullet sliced and ripped through my door skin makes me think it may be aluminum also. Anybody know?

How did a bullet go through the door? The door panels are steel.

Ya, some clown shot at me. Luckily he missed.

I was standing inside my door and the guy was to the rear of my car maybe 15ft away. He fired 5 shots and missed me on 4 but got my door. The 5th hit a truck that was driving by.

I recovered one of the bullets. I'm gonna hang it from my rearview mirror as a reminder. Let it go... Don't be a dumbass
... Don't get out of the car...

Chain it up and hang it around the rear view mirror! [like]

Holy smokes though man, I saw a video about this posted in a Fiesta ST group on Facebook just yesterday. Glad to hear you made it out unscathed!

Good to see youā€™re okay. This is a good reminder that during an altercation- some people are crazier than we are. Iā€™ve seen my fair share of crazy s#!t on the road. Best practice: never underestimate how crazy the other driver/person can be.

Luckily you didnā€™t get shot.

Driving around with my little girl has eased my concern with what other drivers are doing.

Just let them pass. None of that nonsense is worth anyoneā€™s life

Holy shit! I watched the live broadcast on Facebook last night. Those idiot reporters kept trying to get you on camera after you told them not to record you. Glad you didn't get killed or even shot. You are one lucky SOB!

Riding a motorcycle for a decade has really made me a more relaxed driver in my car. You have no way to road rage on a motorcycle without putting yourself in serious danger. The mindset kind of carries over when I'm in my car. I just make room for idiots or accelerate the fuck away from them.

I think they're 2 statements that are unrelated. He posed a question then answered my question without realizing the context implication... But then again, some people do think car doors are bulletproof lol.
