[Shotimes] Score a Win for the SHO

I was coming home from work last night, stopped at a
red light in the right side one of the two lanes.
After the light the two lanes merge into one lane to
the left entering into the interstate. Next to me was
a spanking new Toyota Highlander. From the light to
the single merge lane was about 500ft. I was not
expecting any challenge from this SUV. I was simply
going to out accellerate the SUV, into the single
merge lane. Well anyway, the SUV thought otherwise
and hit full throttle on green light. I thought this
guy must think he's racing a 3.0 Taurus GL. I
proceeded
with opening up secondaries with only 5,500 RPM shifts
and smoked him. I had 3-4 car lenghts on him when I
hit the single merge lane onto the interstate.
Apparently the macho SUV twit was insulted and
continued to flash his headlights as if he were a cop
trying to pull me over. I 'd have none of that and
had the SHO now 10 car lenghts ahead of him on the
interstate. I haven't had a street race in so long
I'm out of touch. Was he flashing me to say, "Hey
good race, fast Taurus." Or was he flashing me a
middle finger? There's so much Road Rage down here
in Tampa area, that I didn't want to find out his true
intensions. What's your take. Thanks.
