Why flip me off?

In Houston, I'm starting to believe my Z Roadster is a D-bag-in-a-Porsche magnet. Twice in a couple of days, two separate silver 911s (one was a really sweet Turbo) have tried to race or show me up.

Tonight on the Southwest Freeway, I overtook the Turbo in medium freeway traffic. I was going about 78-80mph -- not revving or anything. He allowed me to fully pass, then ducked in behind me to get a look at what I was and sped up to pass me on the left. I maintained constant speed the whole time. I watched him pass -- he was a guy who looked to be in his 50s or older, with thinning hair and glasses.

He got several car lengths ahead and slowed down to allow me to catch up. I never changed my speed. When I got almost even with him, he stood on it and sped away, hoping I'd play.

Then, as if to give me another chance, he did the same thing all over again.

If it had been this guys son driving daddy's Porsche, I would have understood, but seriously...
