Default Interesting drive this morning..... long

Driving to an appointment this morning doing about 80 and minding my own when a gleaming new Mercedes benz c 230 kompressor came up behind me fairly quickly. As i prepaird to skoot over I found that he was flashing his lights at me to get out of the way. Unfourtunatly i really did not have a clear lane out for a few cars with out sacrificing my own speed so i decided to wait. The guy continued to sweat me flashing his lights and riding my tail.. With that I decided to drop the car into "S" and get out of the way. I spead up until i could get over and then i did. He was already trying to get by as I started my lane change. We were door to door at this point so I went with it. I pulled from him very very quickly to say the least. He was a couple legths away when i looked down and saw 115. I gave it up at that point and so did he. Ironically we got off at the same exit and were door to door at a light. He rolled down his window and asked "Dude what do you have in that thing?" I replied "nothing it's stock"(I do have a custom exhaust set up). The look of shock and embarrassment came over his face. Immedidatly he said, "lets wait at this light until it turns green for us?" Figuring their was little traffic behind and I was ahead of time from the fast driving I said ok. He did get a good car length before I blew past him. (i need to 0032 recode my tip)Don't typically drive the s line too hard but man it's pretty quick. Granted the mercedes owner had a 4banger but he honestly thought that his car would be faster. I do have to say that he did have an amazing detail job on the car and the stock brakes are much cooler looking than mine.
