Default If you can't drive to begin with.. why try to race?

I was behind a newer VW beetle at a red light today. The light turned green and everyone moved except the beetle. After the car in front of him was about 10 car lengths ahead, I finally gave up and decided to get in the right lane and go around him (four lane divided road). I wasn't in a hurry, didn't honk, and didn't take off fast or anything. Apparently, the guy stalled the engine trying to leave from the light.

Then I hear the beetle racing up and he slowed down when he got beside me. I slowed down because I thought maybe he was in a hurry or needed to get into my lane, but he also slowed down. OK.. so it's a race. So I ease on the gas and he keeps up for a second or so.. then I hit it hard and put plenty of space between us.

I have no idea what he was doing.. I couldn't see due to his tinted windows. IF he was trying to save face after stalling it.. it didn't work out.

That's all.

Default Yea, those turbo beetles are pretty damn...
