Angry Almost killed by a eclipse

So im driving to work this morning around 8am-ish going south on hwy 99. i get on the freeway heading south and pass this awful looking lime green eclipse (have any of you in the sacto area seen his thing?) with a giant wing.

I pass the guy and all im saying to myself is, "hello... whats the giant wing for mr. fast&furious?" i pass him going 75mph in the left lane.... im about 50ft in front of him and he decides he wants to race. he passes me like i was actually trying to pass him. i had my rex's cruise control set on 75mph and it's way too early to be racing anyone on a weekday. Anyway, we pass the grantline exit and i notice his left front tire isn't right. All of the sudden his tire flys off and he's riding on his wheel. he rides on his wheel for a good 100ft until his wheel shattered to the rotor (no need to worry about the brand of wheel people... it looked like a 20" bling bling type). Finally, he stops on the shoulder to see the damage. I just laughed and kept going can you blame me!? i was running a little late.
