Had a Porsche road rage incident today. Anyone here?

I got behind a 997 S cab today while leaving a shopping center. The guy missed about 10 chances to make his right turn and, with a bunch of cars stacking up behind me, I tapped my horn. He, of course, gave me the finger and then took off, several times brake checking me and trying to make me hit him. This was low speed stuff on the main road, but the lack of speeding traffic made it easy to keep it slow and just go around.

Eventually, the flow sped up and I was several cars ahead of him once one of the lanes went away and he couldn't pass. I started thinking he may follow me home, so I skipped my turn three miles farther up and went to the next street and turned left. He got hung up with oncoming traffic and I thought I'd lost him, but he showed up on my tail in a residential neighborhood you could only know about if you lived there. He had FL plates. Eventually the road narrowed to a dirt one and I was kind of wondering how nuts this guy was. But I had a pistol with me and was pretty sure the road led to a bigger one and was not a dead end. Once he saw me on the dirt road, he turned off.

While he was brake checking me, I tried to video it with my phone, but only got a still. I got his plate. Probably can't get anywhere with a police report, since no video. But tomorrow I have an appt to have my badly cracked and chipped windshield replaced. I have a new dash cam I was kind of putting off installing, but it's going in tomorrow.
