This guy has "issues", he needs to talk to somebody.....
As a bicyclist myself I understand getting upset by someone who almost runs you and your group off the road, but truth be told, I'll bet they weren't in a peleton, they were just cruising up the road, blocking the lane and probably had been for some time. All speculation on my part, but that's what usually triggers this kind of driving behavior. Not excusing the Corvette owner by any means, but it takes 2 to tangle like this.
At any rate, the guy was also "under the influence", maybe he was in the Corvette incident too?
Issues, like I said......he needs help.

I blame the corvette guy. We all know corvette drivers are pricks.

We also know what intoxicated Marines who think they should police the world are like, and how everyone who doesn't fit into their idea of right.........is wrong.
I don't want to turn this into a discussion of service people or Corvette/Porsche owners, but the article did say the Marine was drunk when he wrecked his MINI, that he ran off rather than face the music when he did and he himself admitted that what he did earlier with the Vette driver was wrong.
Like I said, I think the guy needs help, and I hope he gets it before he does something really wrong. Just my opinion....
Opinions are like exhaust pipes, we all have at least one! -

Exactly my point, the man drives drunk, who's to say he's not driving a plane intoxicated too?
We have no idea of his combat history or anything, so the only judgement that can be made is based on these two events as reported - no way to know what's going on in his life either.
I just think he's got some things going on in his life that he could use some help with..... -

A friend was in the Marines in Vietnam, all he did was fix office equipment, but to hear him talk, you'd think he was Rambo!:lol:

He should file a claim for PTSD with the VA, 44 and still full of rage and driving drunk and police chase. Not saying its excuse, but the Vette driver was a douce too. He prolly shoulda just hid and chucked a rock at the Vette and rejoined his group like nothing happend. I always make room and slow down for bikers and we have lots of them here in Santa Cruz mountains area.

That's f'd up! My dad road rides a lot and has been hit. It also pisses him off when riders ride 3 breast. But I agree that guy needs help and Vette drivers are d-bags. At least they are on the track.
