I was followed by a car at like 2 am, because he ran a stopsign so my passenger yelled an obscenity at him. We pulled into a gas station and the guy pulled in two spots over, we waited for like 10 seconds and started to go inside, then he just backed out and left.

I've always equipped my cars with LOUD ones.
You should hear the NB back in Mill Valley.
It sounds like a goddamned semi... :chuckles:

THe guy busts a k-turn in the middle of the effing street, and starts following me. So... I'm going on all kinds of side streets, this way.. that way, trying to shake the guy... Finally decide to call the cops... but... by the time I got through to a dispatcher, I managed to get on a highway, and shake the guy. But what if he has my plate?

I assume you've taken the needed steps to secure the car at night. A clutch interlock, kill switches and multiple alarms will do quite a bit to deter theft.

You were probably right for honking. I mean that's what the horn is for, whenever someone is driving wrong. I hope he follows some chick who has a huge muscle pipe wielding brute back at home and then gets his whole world rocked for being a prick. That would be cool.

I wasn't even really all the nervous about it until afterwards, thinking he might have gotten my plate.. it was more of a "Are you fricken kidding me?" Honestly.. what kind of issues do you have to risk the lives of yourself and others just to effing intimidate someone? He cut off people just so he could get behind me, then a truck almost slammed into him as he was making a turn I had just made. 
Just a pathetic display, imo.
