[s-cars] Midnight snack

Was just on my way home from a friend's house on the interstate when 
some guy wouldn't leave well enough alone.  Some guy in a late model 
Lexus LS300 raced up to me and got right along side.  It was lowered , 
had aftermarket wheels and aftermarket exaust with a loud can and a 3 
inch tip.  I have a 93 S4 with MTM+1 only.  He sat there riding me. 
Surging forward trying to goad me into racing.  I didn't really feel 
like horsing around as I was tired.  I had the CC set at 78 mph.  I 
would slow down to avoid him and he stayed right there with me.  I sped 
up and he sped up.  I finally I got sick of him and I tapped the gas and 
surged ahead  Just a litte bit to see what he would do.  He went for it 
and tore off.  I decided to get it over with once and for all.  I 
downshifted to 4th and stomped on it.  I steadily caught up to him and 
passed him no problem.  We were coming up on a car in his lane about a 
half mile up so I know he was going flat out trying to get ahead of me 
so he could cut me off and avoid the car in his lane.  I left him for 
dead.  The game was over.  I slowed down to 78 again and set my CC.  I 
came up along side of him, but now he didn't seem interested in being 
along side of me anymore.  Go figure?  He wouldn't even look over.

Well I did give him every opportunity to leave me alone and exercised 
quite a bit of restraint, but he asked for it and wouldn't take no for 
an answer.  What could I do?  :-P

My favorite thing about the URS4 is that it is the ultimate sleeper 
car.  All of these Lexus, Hondas, DSM (stock that is.  :-P), Mustangs, 
Supercharged Pontiacs and Buicks look over at the S4 and see a grocery 
getter.  I love the look on their faces when they bug you for a race, 
but they hear that K24 spool up and you can almost hear them saying 
"D'OH!!!" as you fly by.
