The guy passes me; that's fine as I'm just enjoying driving again. The a**hole proceeded to brake check me, that was it!

He starts to speed up. I drop to 3rd at 55-60 mph and proceed to go around him. I guess he thought the car was slow as he tried to hold me off, to no avail. I keep going, I was just pissed! I know that I should have let it go, but the guy just pissed me off! He then tried to hang with me in the corners. I push hard. He tries to follow, but winds up spinning out.

Thank God there was a large gravel area beside the road. I stopped to check on the guy; he was okay other than spiting gravel in and all over a new car. I ask "what the hell were you thinking?". He replied that he just wanted to have some fun with me and thought he would be able to keep up. I told him to take it to a track day. He laughed. I said "you're lucky I just had surgery you **** in a**hole!" I hobbled back to my car and left.

I know I was wrong for being goaded into it, but what is wrong with some of the 50-something guys that act this way? He could have killed himself, me, and anyone that happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I knew the road; he obviously didn't. I'm through ranting. *unintelligible remark*
Fixed.
