The car was merging from the left (essentially 4 lanes now, with that car having a solid 30 seconds to merge) pulled into the left lane about a car length or two behind me. Next thing I know is I hear a loud "BWWAAAAAA" and the car pulled up beside me, kept going, and got into my lane about 3 car lengths in front of me and then proceeded to go the same speed.

The driver then started slowing down to below the speed limit, which I then proceeded to get into the left lane, pass, and then merge back in to the middle. I was going the speed limit afterwards, and the car was getting smaller and smaller in my rear view mirror.


Thing I hate is, no matter what car i drive, if im behind a slpwer moving car and I have cruise on (I know my speed will be constant)... I go to pass and then the car speeds up and doesnt let me pass, or just matches my speed. ... I dont understand why some people have a superiority complex and cant be passed. It happens ~7/10 times when im just cruising, slowly catching up to a car. I'm perfectly fine with being passed, even if I'm going the speed limit or more, with traffic.
It does sound like he wanted to check out your ride. His face was probably like this about seeing the FR-S! At least he didn't put up a fight when you passed him.

Definitely agree with your pet peeve. Even worse is when people will floor it to a merge point because they don't want to let you in, then proceed to go the speed limit (or below) after you've merged in behind them. So annoying.
