Sounds like those guys got what they deserve, but its never right to instigate as your friend did. THose little punks could've had a gun, plus if they ever see your car again, they may trash it in a parking lot somewhere. I don't like fighting, its not civilized.
About the dsm, yea fwd sucks. By the end of the quarter it should've been even though, possibly with the dsm in front (at least thats my experience with a '90 gt). Theirs no excuse though, sounds like cocky kids that got the beatdown they deserve.
