A question about driving and other drivers..

This one is mostly for the people with the AMGs, however anyone can input. The question I have is, since you have an AMG do you find that people behind you try to push you to go fast/ faster? An example.. just this past night driving home, this new X5 pulls up behind me, I'm doing 30 on a street that isn't really meant for going that much faster, and this A$$hole has to tail me like crazy. So what do I do? Gun it to get away from this guy, and he just comes roaring up behind me again.. WTF?! Does this happen to any of you guys? How do you handle it?

This happens all the time, even when I am driving the 560SEC. I usually drive the freeways over 90, so I am passing everyone, but there will always be those idiots that will scramble to tail you after you blow by initially. For some reason it seems to usually be Range Rovers, and Scion xB (but only on the streets, the shoeboxes can not get up enough speed to tail me on the freeway).

Considering the SEC is from before the days of limiters, the 5.6 makes quick work of those idiots, without downshifting.
