I tried to do that to some guy who was tailgating my 300D, but he got away. :-(

I had a similar experience while in LA. An Audi TT rear ended the 6.9 at low speed coming off of Highland 101 South right by Franklin. The lady immediately jumped out of her car and started shouting "there's no damage, there's nothing wrong!" and snapped a photo with a disposable camera and then as I got her plate on a notepad she bolted...and I had to chase her down about 5 blocks. She ironically followed the route to my work parking lot as I realized chasing a car in heavy traffic having no physical damage wasn't worth it as I got out of the car she double backed to followed me there and continued to defend her actions of being a careless driver.

Does anyone know that street they're on? Is it Mulholland drive? It seems to be too wide for Topanga or Coldwater.

I guess I handled it a lot better than Robert Loggia would have.

"that's R as in everybody loves Robert Loggia...O as in oh my God it's Robert Loggia..."

David Lynch is a car guy fortunately beyond his unique style. Lost Highway is a weird one I must say. Watch Blue Velvet and Dennis Hopper's 68? Charger drive hopped up on bottled oxygen.

Thats awsome!

Thats like what Clarkson said when driving the 600..."cut off the average 600 driver and you will find yourself in your trunk, minus your head."

After seeing this video, which is fantastic, I can finally say there is a good reason for the US DOT big ugly bumpers!

That was filmed in Griffith Park, I can't think off the name of the street but I ride my bicycle up there all the time.

Darn, I used to live in Eagle Rock. I should have set my camera out on a tripod and filmed a few passes in my 6.9.
