How does someone that unhinged afford a LC? He should be happy he is driving a nicer car then 99% of the people on the road and not let himself lose control like that.

I guess "The Doors" were right. People ARE strange.

Money doesn't buy emotional stability. That guy should be restrained!

That crazy SOB is lucky that the person in the SUV didn't just run him right over. Must have been a temptation to do so. Florida law also allows someone to shoot when confronted like that....remember the Travon Martin case? I hope this video was turned over to local police, and that they were able to track him down with what limited info they had.

Some people, when they have a car like that, which, with options and tax, runs a six-figure price (base is 92K), are so protective of it that they go bonkers at the tiniest thing that looks like it will even begin to put a mark or fingerprint on it.

it's not being protective of the car, it is the entitlement, I am better than you, how dare you invade my personal space mentality.

on a side note, did you see how dude flung himself at that SUV.. damn,

Yeah, hard to read minds sometimes....though you're right, that's sometimes a factor. I've seen it both ways, although whenever possible, I am very careful to avoid incidents like that myself.

That was exactly my point...the driver of the SUV showed a lot of restraint by simply not making short work of him.

Some of the safety features on modern vehicles, though (unless turned off) won't allow the vehicle to do that.....the program will automatically brake to a stop if it senses a person or obstacle in front of the vehicle. In fact, I'm glad you brought that up....I probably should have taken that into consideration when I made the statement, above, about the driver running into him.

I don't think I've seen someone use their bare hands to punch the front end of a car before. I mean that moron is hurting himself more than he is hurting that car. Wow.

Don't bet on it. IMO, the flimsy sheet metal used on many of today's vehicles is a joke....I often mention that in my reviews.

I agree, but even if he cracked that plastic grille, he is risking cutting/busting open his knuckles. Curious if there is a back story to this?

Yeah or maybe wasn't on something (like didn't take his meds that day). A normal person should not be doing that haha.
