so im drivin home from visiting the girl at work, and im tailed over halfway home by these god damn blue HID's 3 feet behind me... after giving some blue T/A a nice wave as he turns off, this guy finally has room to get next to me, so i begin to let off to see if he wants to go...all i get is a flyby (and to be honest the thing was damn quick), and enough time to floor it, get to his rear bumper, and he shuts down and hits the 4 ways so now im pissed, because im not with anyone else to explain how this douche thinks he just beat me... he starts to let off again like im gonna get a real shot at him this time, so i slowed again to get an even jump. but no, same thing, another flyby and catchup, except this time theres no one in front of him so i get about halfway up his car and he hits the brakes again, with NOBODY in sight in front of us... so i said F it and got in front of him and again hes flipped the 4 ways.... WHATEVER... turned off and went home some people

Yeah, I understand. What I do is watch carefully the rate of approach when they're pulling up. If they want an even roll, they'll come up fairly slowly, if they want the fly by they'll be pulling up hard. This happened to me once with a Ford Diesel of some flavor. Usually I don't don't run on the street, but I was in a bad mood. I saw what he was trying to pull, and as he was approaching within about a length, downshifted and nailed it so that by about the time he was on my door I scooted away nice and hard. Curiously, he stayed back
