I know exactly how you felt. About two weeks after my wife and I bought her a 2001 Grand Prix GT fully loaded, we were on the highway going from Cali to AZ, and there's this black toyota tacoma that's driving like a maniac (which isn't rare in southern CA), but this guy was running people off the road!! Traffic was going slow (about 20 in a 65) because the roads were so packed on a Friday afternoon. Even though there's no way he could have gone any faster because both lanes were moving at the same slow speed, he still insisted on staying about a foot and a half away from the back bumper of whomever he was behing.
It was a nice day, so we both had our windows down and he came up on my bumper, and my wife was freaking out!! I tapped the brakes real quick just enough for the brake lights to come on to let him know that I didn't appreciate having him ride my bumper. Well that pissed him off. He started swerving and almost rammed the car beside him to get over in the other lane to get beside me. This made my wife really freak out and I was starting to get a little upset myself, both mad, confused, and a little scared of what he was going to do. He wound up grabbing a handful of change and throwing it at the side of my car, hitting my wife and scratching the entire side of my BRAND NEW CAR!!!!! All I can say is I'm glad I don't carry a gun in my car, because if I did, I would have shot his tire, and maybe the side of his truck. I'd have been in jail. I followed him for a while, driving a little crazy because I was so mad, but my wife told me to stop because he wasn't worth it. We got his plate number and called the insurance company. I still get extremely pissed when I think of this.
