My first thought was you might be sportin' one of those Battery powered Prius type cars. I get a kick outa seeing them on the highway running 80+, really saving gas driving like that.
You showed your superiority by not engaging the guy. His obvious attempt to intimidate you failed and, true to form, he could only do something behind your back after you resisted his attempts to provoke you through humiliation.

If indeed it is a Porsche the gentleman with the problem, did have a problem between his ears, as a Porsche is a very cool ride, and fine car.

Well, we have Rubyron with the simple assault method. Might knock some teeth out which could cost him a few thousand dollars in dental bills and a few thousand more for criminal and civil defense lawyers but hey, what's money for if not to have a litte fun with?
But you have the better idea. Yep...assault with a deadly weapon is the way to go. It's not necessary to actually strike the person. Just put them in reasonable fear of bodily harm and you've got it made. But if you don't follow through with battery you might get off on a misdemeanor charge.
But then there's that pesky concealed weapons charge for the loaded (i'm sure) 9mm in the glove box. Cops HATE IT when they find those things.
So, you'd be looking at 5-10 on top of ten grand or so in medical bills and legal fees. And so what that you couldn't get a passport anymore or couldn't vote for the rest of your life. Hell, most politicians ought to have a baseball bat taken to them anyway.
Damn right brother...NO ONE is going to get away with dissing MY car!

( it might even have had a Pizza delivery sign on the top of it. Hell, it might have been a hybrid or a Hyundai )

That's what I was thinking. Maybe the guy had a valid point. After all there are two sides to every story.
Cool headed pool player....
Da:m babbling brutes..... You did the right thing. Now-a-days you cannot tell if someone is on drugs or other crap. Plus most people like that do not know when to STOP. You could have had much bigger problem.
I think most of us have had a similar experience at one point N time in our lives..... Good job.

My grandfather always said, "assholes always come in pairs." Meaning that everytime someone is acting like an asshole, there is someone nearby who could do something about it and didn't.
If you noticed what he was driving, a quick call to the police about his obvious drunken swagger into the bar and his license plate number could have made his night a bit more interesting.
I'm 5'8 150 pounds, so I don't have much chance against a much larger opponent, but I'm also a vindictive SOB, screw with me for no reason, I'll find a way.....

I was thinking about picking up a used Porsche Boxer, but considering I plan to visit a bunch of pool halls in the next year, I thought better of it.
The price of it is comparable (and even less) than a lot of newer cars that have less prestige associated with them, but you can't tell that to drunk local yocal. They see the "Porchse" on it, and assume you paid $60,000+ for it.
I don't mind picking another car, though. I chose pool as my hobby, and I understand that some sacrifices must be made for my love of the game.

I Said, "Your Hands", NOT Your Finger
Really now, don't you think a Short Bus would be more appropriate ?

Give it to me Baby, Uh Huh, Uh Huh..
While I agree that would be pretty fly (for a White Guy), and it was my first choice, I dismissed the possibility of kicking it in a short bus because of their poor gas mileage.
C'est la vie...

Yah, perty sweet! Alas, 25 MPH top speed...It'd take a LONGGGGG time to get to the "C and below" tournaments up in Georgia at that rate....
Russ
That's What I'm Known For.... My THINKING
Yeah, but you could 'coast' at 65 MPH on the way home. I looked on the map and it's all DOWNHILL from Georgia back to Florida.

That's pretty convenient, as I probably wouldn't have any gas money after the tourney players beat me down..
