But more to the point, y'all, haven't you ever been driving a turd of some kind and pulled up next to a Beemer or Porsche or some other "fast" car, and then jumped off the line just to have fun watching as his bruised yuppie ego races to catch up with you? Those kids were doing just that - trying to provoke you just for fun.
