Lesson learned:
Instead of flipping out, next time calmly pull up behind the car and get the plate. Then call 911, report it and follow the guy until he stops.
You're selling your car to buy a house, then expect to buy a 911 or M3? I guess you're planning to run into extra cash after buying a house?

with proper investments in shares and hard work, a house and a car isn't hard to comeby if you work with the right company(s).

Without being there and not knowing if his intention from the get-go was to run away, I'm not really surprised he didn't want to give his info/tried to run away, you probably scared the shit out of him...
You know you have insurance for a reason right? Someone hits you, just roll your eyes and go through the process like everyone else knowing it will get fixed... what use is it to get out of your car and start yelling obscenities and making like someone just stole your baby for prostitution................. they're called "accidents" for a reason. I'm pretty sure nobody gets into accidents intentionally, unless they're scamming for injuries or whatever... don't take it so personal.
Reminds me of the threads on BCSB about sportbike dudes punching mirrors off cars that cut them off LOL... win win... WIN WIN

But this guy did it intentionally thinking he is king shit of the road...thats why i got pretty upset, otherwise i would have just blown it off, and delt with it the proper way.

I dont think all the yelling was necessary, all you really needed was a plate #
I guess its hard to say whether you went too far or not, who knows what I'd do in that situation
At least you had a witness

What I don't understand is why you have to sell the car to buy the house, then talk of buying back a car that will probably cost more than your current vehicle (I assume e46 M3).
If you just want to get a new ride and new house, that's awesome, yet the rest doesn't make much financial sense.

I came from a manual transmission to this 5spd automatic....i want to go back to manual badly.
Im just using the house as an excuse to get rid of it. lol

I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a sport bike as a weekend warrior. My friends finally convinced me, that no matter how fast you make your car, their bikes can go faster for much much less.

i dont really understand no matter how many vehicles benz releases, they are just not willing to give people the option to ever drive a manual transmission
Audi does it, BMW does it, if their competitor does it why wouldnt they do it?
the AMG line ups would make sense if it releases manual gear box as an option
so AMG No
Brabus No
SLR no
and its been tat way for like a gazillion years already
when will they ever change

MB doesn't offer manual gearbox because they concentrate on their own resources on the automatic especially on the products that are in the higher price brackets (first to come up with 7 speed etc)..
With their progressive torque converter, it shifts just as fast if not faster than humans can anyways.
Also as a PR move to head off the possibility that valued customers (especially the litigious ones) who paid 100k+ from misshifting and detonating the gearbox.
What does this have to do with the original posting anyways.. this is way off topic. Quote:

The manuals they do have will not stand up to the high torque of MB engines. They need a better tranny supplier.
2. They do give people the option they want. MBs are not bought by weekend warriors that want a manual. Hell the handbrake is on the floor so that the centre console can have more room, that should tell you something about MB buyers.
