That being said, nowadays you have to be careful of situations like this because you hear stories all the time where the nut pulls out a gun and kills the person. You just don't know who is packing and it's not worth the risk. Glad you were able to ID him....people like that need to be shot on site.
Yes ... That is an issue in the US due to the right to Arms and concealed weapons laws! Definitely not worth the risk!

I am sure bigger metropolitan Canadian cities see the same issues and road rage incidents! These issues likely not isolated to us in North America! Something to think about ...

Peace ... Good night!

Never had that in my M6, but maybe it's because compared to the McLarens and F cars in my area, it's not the coolest car on the block

This is crazy, glad you and your gf are safe.
I would suggest you to install a Dash camera, just in case.
I have a non-M red convertible and sometimes I notice people in pick trucks try to drive very close with that dirty hater look on their face. I just avoid looking at them, change my lane, speed up or slow down.

Sucks. Glad you're OK. Had this happened to me in TX, dude would be dead. I love being able to carry a gun because of idiots like this.

Same Experience here Bro ... I think taking the high road and remembering our roots in Mom and Dad shit boxes when we grew up ... stay humble and not snobbish ... and not looking for a confrontation! Be nice and approachable, within reason, to those who are in Awe!

I am not afraid of guns ... 16 years Service in the Canadian Military and education paid for ... when dealing with CRAZY people, escalation of the situation is not the answer!

Trouble can find you FAST! Then there is the question, what are you wiling to retaliate with, and is it worth having loved ones hurt, lose your ride or worse yet your life!

All of us have made it if we can afford these rides ... we have something between the ears .. and I hope a little restraint prevails as there are many more amazing rides and success over the next horizon!

Peace!

The idiot may also be packing ... then the question, who is more nuts and willing to lose it all.

I totally get the self defense legal stance, but is it worth going to that extent?

Just my humble thoughts Bro ... no offence intended!

I'm not sure where I stand on this. CA strict gun laws vs TX freedom.
I own a few guns and I love them, but shooting or even pointing these at another person other than in video games is something I can't fathom unless my life was in imminent danger. Too many cowards and psychos with guns nowadays. It does make me consider though, what if by some unlucky chance I were to be threatened by one of these crazies, I'd hate to have nothing but sticks and stones to defend myself.

I guess you better start packing ... Or try some sedatives ... Can I prescribe you some.

Kidding!!!

Definitely a very interesting thing to think about ... I too have Pondered it (the gun thing not the sedatives)

But if we all are packin ... Where do we end, where do we draw the line re to draw or not to draw ... Hate to take a pistol to a machine gun fight



Perhaps we are getting off topic now as the discussions carry on


Main thing is our brother and his gal are alive ... With a few scratches on an otherwise nice ride

Be well brothers!

Hope no one comes across a road ragged driver packing heat! Or have to start pondering the rules of engagement!!!


I leave you with hopes of peace ... And sorry for having dragged this discussion a little off the topic of our cars, which has drawn us together on this post

On the way back home, just a few blocks away from where I picked them up, I encountered a red Toyota Camry on major road rage. He sped up from behind tail gating me while honking and flicking me off. I let him pass on the right lane and he swerved in front of me for no reason and moves onto the left turn lane at the intersection. I slowly pulled up next to him, rolled my windows down and asked what the hell his problem was. He flicked me off again while laughing and looking like a psycho so I flicked him off too and said fuck you. He then begins to talk of violence reverses to come up behind me and threatens to ram my car from behind. I told him I'd call the police if he touched my car. He then moves over to my passenger side where my girlfriend was sitting and spits on her before taking off. At this point it was battery and I was going to get his license plate and perhaps a photo of his face. He got stuck in traffic a block ahead and I pulled up behind him to to take a snapshot of his plate. Just before I got a photo, he reveres straight into my stationary car. As I got out of the car to confront him he started inching forward and I got in front of his car and told him to stop. I shouted "Are you going to run me over?" as he accelerated and I got scooped up on the hood for two seconds before rolling off onto the asphalt. He took off and ran a red light and disappeared to the right. It was pretty surreal and I received some injuries, but nothing major. Not only did this son of a bitch spit at my girlfriend and smash my car, he also injured me, shattered my iphone 6 and gashed up my brand new Panerai 510 that I purchased last month.

I was afraid that he would get away, but today I met with the officer on my case and I was able to identify the suspect through photos. He told me that this scumbag was in custody for another crime he committed right before he did this to me. I feel unlucky that I had to be in the way of this psycho, but this kind of scumbag needs to be put out for the good of society.
Very Sorry to hear your situation but whatever happened to you can easily happen to me practically every other day here in Southern Cal if i don't loose my patience & try fighting these random lame losers on the street/highway: A casual cool headed avoidance at that time would have saved you all of this, but hey i understand it happens & try & stay safe for future.

I often get high on my explosive trance/trap music while driving and i can imagine the adrenaline rush in an M6.

this is when a dash cam becomes useful. I have two installed in my car, one in the front and one in the rear windshield and I always scare off scumbags that try to harass me when they find out their on camera.

My car is still in the shop waiting for my slow insurance to do final approval. Hope to have it back this week. Haven't heard from the officer assigned to my case since I met him, but these things take a long time to process.

I am most definitely getting the front and rear dashcams installed after I get my car back. I was planning on it from the beginning, but I procrastinated. I will not be lazy anymore.

Damn, I was pretty shocked to read this story and would have been even more so if I hadn't just seen this story:

http://www.corvetteblogger.com/2015/...rage-incident/

http://gtspirit.com/2015/10/20/musta...rage-incident/

I am starting to think that with everything going on in the United States these days, there is more likelihood that you are going to get a gun pulled on you in a confrontation. This is why I am glad that I bought a dash cam for my car. Hindsight being what it is in the OP's situation, I think I have learned to not get out of my car an instead I might have had my girlfriend start recording video of the perpetrator. If things got hairy I could then either outrun the lunatic or be able to get catch up to him with superior power and get a clear shot of his plate and then let him go.

It seems we are starting to see more and more attacks on supercar owners these days.
