Default First-gen GS300 thought he was hot ****...

I was leaving my mom's place earlier this afternoon, just minding my own business driving down a 6-lane (3 each way) street with a 50mph speed limit. Coming up to a red light I'm in the middle lane, there's two cars in front of me, two cars in the left lane, and no cars in the right lane. I knew it was about to change so I got over to the right to get out in front of traffic, and this douchebag in a first-generation GS300 (~3600lbs, 200hp) that was in front of me decides to jump over too. I guess he wanted to race me or something, cuz when the light turns green he gives it all she's got. Normally I would embarass someone like this and laugh at them, but I wasn't in the mood today. I just carried on like I was going to had he not been there, but it still involved going about half throttle to pass the car in the middle lane and get over. He apparently thought I was also trying to race him and just couldn't keep up, cuz after about a 1/4 mile he sticks his hand out the window and does the gay little hand-flap wave . I start laughing so hard that he actually saw me, and slowed down as if to line up with me again, but as I speed up a little he cuts off a few cars and ducks into the turn lane and goes right. I guess he showed me with his big bad 16s car .

Later that day, a freakin' 5spd 160hp Ranger was doing the same thing, except this time I wasn't as forgiving. Me and this '00 SV650 that was next to him decided to make him stop revving his engine (horrible exhaust) at the stoplight by hitting it when the light turned green. He turned pretty quick at the next light .

You know, I was going to say something about it, but I saw nobody else had posted, so I decided not to.

I figured this was the section that fit it best, cuz it wasn't really a race.
