Apparently foreign cars were a big target.
Driving towards bulgaria a couple times people threw stuff at the car, it looked like they were aiming for the windshield. There was a group of 3 cars that had pulled over ahead of us, who got struck but they kept driving anyways, my dad stoped to see if they needed any help the guy said they got chased a while ago and told us to keep going and only stop if we need to refill with gas.
We drove non-stop untill we reached the border with Bulgaria I remember my mum was pissed off cause she couldn't pee lol
Don't know if any of this is true anymore but I can say we pretty much agreed we won't be driving thru Romania any time soon again.

Yea, I heard the stories many times back then, but last time we drove through with some friends in 2 cars we had two incidents.
The first one was when we were stopped by some cops, and we thought that they were going to extort a few hundred buck from us. Nothing like that actually happened, they checked our driving licences, passports, and let us go. We had to pay 400.00 DM to the cops in Slovakia, and 100.00 DM to the cops in Seged (sp), Hungaria.
The second incident was when my friend lost control of his car, and the car flew off the road, and landed in the deepest snow I had ever seen. We tried to get it out, but we couldn't, about 30 min later two Romanian guys drove past in a truck, stopped, and pulled us out of the ditch.
