Thank goodness everyone was fine. I am glad you handled it well.

Glad you both are ok. There are more than enough idiots in the world. Good thing you didn't fight him, with the stupid ass laws in this country he would've ended up suing you.

thanx guys, to be honest fights never solve anything... tho i have a bad temper, thanx to my sister in law she did everything to calmn me down....

Well it's good your sis-in-law was there. In all honesty, I don't like to fight either. The only times I've had to fight were for self defense. LOL. I usually wait for the other guy to throw the first punch, then I do my thing.

Spoken like a true wise man.
The rules about using force.
1. Never use force unless it is the last resort
2. If you must, be prepared to escalate it to the maximum level.
3. Apply force with the intention of delivering the maximum devastation.

I'd add my rule to the list.

4. Actually apply maximum force so you can end things as fast as possible.

Glad you're ok, and your sister too. That guy sounded like a total moron. A shame he didn't slam into you with a Geo Metro or a Yugo - it might have ended his miserable existence on this planet and you in the G37 wouldn't have felt an impact (and there would be no scratches on the car).


Reminds me my return trip from the Nürburgring. I was on the Autobahn A9 from Frankfurt to Munich driving as fast as the roads and the winter tires would permit. Since this Autobahn is not derestricted I was basically driving between 170-180 km/h non-stop, sometimes 210 km/h (the max. the winter tires can take).

I was behind a black new BMW X5 keeping my distance and we settled into a nice routine where he would overtake the slower trucks and I would pull out behind him, again, keeping my safety distance of speed divided by two (ex. 200 km/h = 100 meters (or more) safety distance).

Eventually he didn't seem to be in it anymore and was cruising behind a slow truck at 80 km/h. I was gaining ground on him so I pulled over into the fast lane and accelerated to 190 km/h approaching 200 km/h. I was about to pass him when suddenly this a-hole pulls out to his left right in front of me! I had to slam the brakes for a moment (not too hard to prevent a lock up) a bit in order to slow the 118i down and preventing me from colliding with him - and this at 190 km/h!!! My heart skipped a beat or two - it was that friggin close! What an idiot!

As this was happening I was thinking of honking my horn but I made a split second decision not to for fear of causing him to panic and doing something even more stupid. Man that was close.

wow that sounds scary, going 200 kmh i guarantee you someone else with less experiance wouldve crashed, good driving man, with driving u should pay full attention expect anything to happen theres many stupid drivers out there..

lol good point chonkoa, i was cautious and ready for self deffence.
