I could have been way worse. I made fun of him, laughed at his physical threat, then blew a kiss to his gf to seal the deal on him feeling stupid. Not like I tossed my Mc Flurry at his gf through his open window or followed him home and vandalized his car.

All this "be the better man" stuff is fine and dandy for some people I suppose. I could have let it slide, but I already knew that it wasn't going to escalate much and when I do that to someone I'm not arguing like I'm in highschool. I'd rather me be the douche to make him look stupid than have him harassing other owners.

His example after the comment about the set for malibu's most wanted II-
"Hey F*** you man, I'll F*** you up!"
"I'm sure you will."
"I ain't playin' BRO!"
"I'm sure you're not."
"F*** YOU!"
"I'm sure you would."
*Blow kiss*
*Drive off*

Simple way to just kill his trip and cut his little ego down in front of someone I'm sure he dearly wants to impress. You don't have to embarrass yourself in order to make a point.

But, I guess I'm just a douche, right?

Well you say

"Some douche rolls by and shouts at me then drives off"

then you drive to catch up to him and shout back. Maybe that's cool....in high school?

I don't shout at people... I speak with a monotonous tone that insinuates seriousness. It makes whatever you're saying hit home a lot more effectively than, "YEAH WELL UP YOURS!" No, don't be ridiculous. I caught up to him and had a satirical conversation with him, is all.

Maybe I just have road rage.

Geez, I was driving top down last week because it was in the high 40's for the first time this winter. At a light, a guy in an older Pontiac Bonneville rolled down the window and started a conversation. He asked if it was a little cold for driving top down. I shot back "nah, the car has a great heater and I'll take any sunshine I can get". I followed up with "spring is right around the corner". He laughed and gave me a wave then I went left and he went right. Not all people on the road are d'bags.

As for whiggers, well what can be said? It's just an embarrassment that we caucasians have to bear. My sincere apologies to African Americans everywhere but please try and refrain from laughing out loud at the white kids. I know it's hard. The OP can take solace in the fact that the little wise guy with the hat on backwards is likely headed nowhere in life and his girlfriend was probably already all too aware of that fact.

Haha teenagers are funny, they say my s2000 isn't loud enough, it's loud enough for me with the K&N FIPK, and you don't hear how loud my car is cause around the city I'm cruising at 2.5k rpms to not thrash around a cold engine or waste gas.
The best ricer I've seen try to race me was a modded to hell mr2, had turbo timers on the a-pillar, had fart cans, and the best part was it had an nsx air snorkel thing going over to the side, I just couldn't laugh at that nsx wannabe thing. He kept trying to race my on the way to work, and I just knew no way in hell would I even consider racing him, gave me great laughs.
When you drive something above a chevy malibu, expect kids to try to show off their car to their gf in the passenger seat by attempting to beat you at a race.
I never disrespect a driver outside of laughing my ass off, I keep the smack talking outside of the car, I've had a truck almost run right over me moving 4 lanes over on the highway so I honked at him as he almost lane changed into me. Badass kid got in front of me and slammed on his brake to 30 mph on the highway.
Learn to ignore people, you drive a high profile car, give a thumbs up to awesome old cars like I do, and save the insults unless you are looking to get your car keyed like my boss's GTO. He was at the movies, and grabbed a parking spot in front of someone so he was in line buying tickets and a guy walked up and said hey, do you drive that 60's red GTO? Someone just keyed it.

The only comment I ever got was an indirect one a few months back when I was over in the valley and driving on the freeway in the rain with the top down. Doing about 70 and was perfectly dry inside. Got a lot of strange looks and apparently I passed couple who is friends with my Co-CO. They emailed him that evening about seeing an S driving in the rain topless and how it was pretty crazy.
