Default Douche 335i owner gave me a thumbsdown

So im on the freeway driving to go get my wife her favorite dinner when a blue 335i driver rolls up to me and starts to pace me. Driver was a young white guy. I looked at him and said whats up just to be freindly. He proceeds to speed up slightly so that hes about two cars ahead of me and then he sticks his arm out the window and gives me a thumbs down. Now I'm not much for freeway racing but this little punk angered me. I figured he must have some mods, maybe a tune to be so brazen. The young man in me wanted to find out so I actually followed him onto the next freeway going in the complete opposite direction that i needed to go lol. Lined up with him and we are off. He jumps out half a car for literally a second them i proceed to destroy him. Iet off at 130. (we started at 60) HAd about 10 car lengths on him. I slowed to see his reaction but he did a flyby and exited. To end this long story I had always heard that many bimmer owners have a bad attitude but I have never encountered behavior like that. Anyways I guess he didnt have a tune and just a simple exhaust. Im just joeZ and sikky if anyone is wondering.

I would've dealt with this in a different matter: repeated a flyby with a thumbs up.
I suppose my method of dealing with stupidity is one-upping it

I always smoke them then give them another hand gesture. Not a middle finger. Kind of like a "stroking " action LOL. My screen name was my old plate. I used to have to bring it. Back in the day the old 330's had nothing on my modified G35. I used to wave from the open sunroof

That's funny, I came from a 335i to an isf and it seemed like when I owned the 335i people would try to race me all the time.

On Thursday I had a M3 pace me on the highway as well. We looked at each other and hit the gas. I pulled away instantly and he never had a chance. Once I got to about 7-10 car lengths away I let off. He pulled up and gave me the thumbs up. It looked to be about a mid 2000's M3. I dunno what that car would have under the hood but I would guess somewhere between a 2002-2006 M3. I'm running Takeda Intake and ISS Forged Des Exhaust.

He seemed to be pretty cool, no douche bag there. So not all are...

I pulled up to a 5.0 mustang the other night and was cruising with him. I hit the throttle and bumped 2 car lengths ahead of him. So he then went to line up with me again but I was in the merging lane at an exit and he hits the throttle and speeds off. Shame, I really wanted to see what my car would do to that 5.0

I beat a stock 5.0 on the 1/4 mile last year, by a half second! I have intake and exhaust, he was stock.

5.0s sound so much meaner than our cars. I havent even attempted to mess with one of those. An asian girl in my apartment complex drives a 2012 5.0. her exhaust sounds ridiculous
