We should make them both drive a Prius for one year.
I have to agree. Neither was innocent. The mazda dude wanted to mess with the bimmer because he pulled out in front of him, but the bimmer guy is by far the biggest *** because of his response ( as well as his poor driving skill ). I do have to give the Mazda driver credit for not getting out and kicking the ever living crap out of him.

The mazda should have ran him over when he started running his mouth. It would have been funnier that way.

You both missed the point. The MS3 driver was waiting to get to this section of road for the twisties. You'll notice him driving slow at the start of the video, and specifically commenting about this.

The 335i then pulls out in front of him, and starts off briskly. The MS3 driver thinks the 335i is enjoying the road just like he is.

It was a game of cat and mouse, fairly common among friendly driving enthusiasts, but unfortunately the BMW driver was a tool.

only good players will realize that part of the game. quite a few times already i got joined this kind of run and we (strangers) all had fun. thumbed up each other afterward. if you can't keep up, just simply pull to the side and everyone is good game

The Mazda driver gave him 2-3 seconds distance...relatively safe practice but bordering some aggressiveness. The BMW driver stopping like that...not very smart. If the Mazda driver were some gang type, he may be looking down an Tec-9 or any other variety of things that can go <bang>.

personally, i dont see what the big deal was, aside from the douche getting out of the car. pretty much the bimmer was yelling at the MS3 because he kept up. he was askin for trouble when he got out of the car. i cant say id be that calm (although kinda scared from his tone of voice) if some dude tried to come at me the way he did. what an a**wipe!

Funny - i know this road...ride it all the time on it in my cars and bikes a million times. It's practically in my backyard. There's a lot of wannabes that drive up that road and the rule of thumb up the mountains if you can't hang, pull the hell over.....but really, the bimmer driver was a douche and couldn't believe a little jap wagon was hanging with his almight yuppy series.... hahaha

Some passer by would've seen his beaten and battered **** sprawled on the road.
