    So coming off of work tonight. There was a guy behind me, and we both jumped on the Highway. As soon as I got on, he lined up along side me, and he kept speeding up and slowing down, while still being along side me, for 12-15 miles. It kind of looked like a Toyota Camry, in the mid 90s, but, I couldn't really tell since it was dark out. After about 12-15 miles, he had to slow down, and get back into the slow lane, and turn off onto a back road. Before he turned, he flashed his lights at me.

    I did notice he had a passenger, because I noticed someone in the passenger seat, with a cellphone, that was lit up.

    To me, it almost seemed like he wanted to race me. It was kind of tempting, but I would rather do that sort of thing at a strip, with a car, that's not a Grand Prix GT.

    I've had one of those douchebags do that on the highway trying to race me in my Land Rover once believe it or not.

    Though he didn't do it nearly as long since he soon noticed the pretty Smith&Wesson handcuffs hanging from my rearview mirror.

    I had someone do that to me recently in a nice looking Corvette. He wasn't a dick about it, though. He realized after a couple of seconds that I wasn't going to race and took off.
