...seriously, I had very bad share of road rage. I have gotten out of the car a couple of times, once in the middle of a 2-lane road! I know...not smart but I was LIVID at this guy one time. He got back in his car and drove away; followed me to my job's parking lot. I noticed and turned in right away and got out again...he just kept driving down the road past the parking lot.

I would NEVER EVER let anyone approach me faster. I like a good offense (this is my defense). As soon as I see someone coming out of a car; I'm out too as long as it's 1 on 1 and they don't have any weapons in hand.

I cooled down as I got a little older; now 30 yrs old.

I hate people sometimes. BTW, the instance above happened when the guy cut ME off by accident and then got mad at ME!!! Started cursing, rolling down the window...etc etc - I wasn't having that. lol

I have to admit I did get out of the car once but I wasnt the driver. My friend was driving and some guy was tailing us to the point we thought he was going to bump us. We put out hand out ( no middle fingers) to wave him back. He got closer. SO my friend ( who is a teacher at Harvard..... not what most would characterize as the dude who will get out of his car) stopped and got out. The guy got out as well. Then I got out and just kept repeating "get back in the car before you get hurt" . He took one look at me and I dont think I had to tell him to get back into his car a third time ( benefit of being larger than your average bear). A lot of this stuff is done while we are angry and irrational. In my case the guy deserved it. In this case I think the bimmer guy was over reacting

I'm well aware of the ms3, Noticed the wink. The BMW guy was intending to show off his car and it's capability...but found out the car could hang and broiled himself. I guess he think he was the **** until someone actually paces him.

I think, initially, he had the smug mentality...all all high and mighty, little did the ***** know he wasn't all that. Of course, he doesn't know **** about cars, just that he got a bmw...

What's going through the bmw driver? Imagine you were the guy in front and some bozo tail you ... if that bozo was on his bumper, then he's right to be pissed. Anyhow, kinda weird that he blew a gasket though. If I were the bmw guy, I'd show the mazda what my car is made of
Handing a tool a BMW 335 does not a driver make... they also provide ED medications now for that douche

Ok this guy is past a potential azz whooping moment, to a def get your azz beat for such a poor choice. Man that guy is brave to get out his car like it is the 80's or something, now days it is very bad for your health to such a DB, toolish move. Jump out your car here in the ATL if you want too, and you might not get back in your car......ever! Really any place, you don't know what the mindset is of the driver you running up on.

And there are quite a few thugs in the Speed3, so taking a risk like what that BMW guy did was very stupid. Those are the guys ya don't wanna mess around with.
I had a run in with an MS3, at that time I heard about the car, never saw one, so at the time I figured supped up compact, so on my drive home some nice lights come right up on my bumper, OK sure dude hop in the back seat, he tailed me in the twistes, it was dark and drizzling so not the best conditions and on a short section of straight road, he passed me, and he did this between 45-60, my strongest powerband, on my 06 Max, I did have a lapse in judgment and was foot to the floor but then decided to let off the gas, he was pulling hard with me at WOT, but still I let off cause I realized it was probably a young punk who was willing to kill us both to prove a point, I let him go cause he obviously broke the speed limit excessively, no point in following to risk a speeding and reckless driving infraction

If that was me I would throw something at his car as I was driving away. Not all BMW drivers are bad here are there some of them are a little annoying and douchey

It was stupid that he tailed you like that.. Yes, you did good by not racing with that thug.. You don't want to take risk getting accidents or get caught for reckless driving.

Dude, you're calling someone a "thug" for racing, meanwhile you're bragging about yourself "molesting" someone at 135mph on a public road?
