Default Beat some tail grabbing SOB in his Benz!

Now, I don't know if this is worth posting or bragging about but it made me feel good. This guy (early 50's) was tail grabbing my *** on a one lane road though town, he was driving an early 90's Mercedes Benz 560SEL. The speed limit is 40 mph through there and I was doing about 43 mph. I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE ON MY A$$, and he was to close for me. The road eventually goes into two lanes for about 1/2 a mile then back to one lane again. So when we get to the two lanes, here he comes and there he goes. We exchange looks and I give him four fingers then a zero to say this it's 40 mph through here, he just punched it and I let him go. Well the light up ahead turned red and we're side by side, now about 100 yards past the intersection is where the road goes back to one lane again. When the light goes green we start to leave at the same time and he guns it, so I floor it too. By my 1-2 shift, he's front bumper is at my drivers door and I'm starting to pull away at a pretty good clip. I know he's still on it because his engine is just screaming but I'm pulling away. By this time I realize that I've got him and I give him a little wave "bye bye" out my window. By the end of second gear, I've got about three truck lengths on him. He's still on it because when I slow down, he comes flying up fast and turns at the next intersection. Now I normally don't do this but this guy kind of ticked me off with his attitude.

Good 4 U - old fart should go down to Fl if he wants to drive like that.
I had a guy doing that yesterday - behind me mouthing "go" and throwing his hands up - I just slowed down more - Funny thing is he goes to the next lane and gets slowed down even more by traffic backed up- I just shake my head - Duschbag

Y2K - BTW - How do you like your headers? Fit? Finish?

I like them just fine for what I paid for the, $200 brand new shipped to my door. Fit and finish are good, they are the chrome ones and have blued up some but no rust so far. They've only been on the truck for about 5 months though and this will be the first winter with them on so I'll see how they look come Spring.
