I get all the nuts

I'm sure I'll be flamed for this, lol.

Driving on a multi-lane road last night in the E430 with baby seats, I pull up to a light alongside some sort of late-model Buick (maybe a Lacrosse) sedan that had seen better days. The light changes and the guy takes off at full throttle while looking at me. I didn't know if he was trying to race or he was just a nut.
Next light, I catch up to him, same thing. He looks over and punches it, so this time I did too. Took me a second to catch up to him, and then I had 5 or 6 lengths before dropping off at 70mph or so. We hit a 3rd light, but this time he stayed well back in his lane waiting for the light to change. No more tries.
So my life list of 'kills' now includes a Mini Cooper, C240, and a Buick.

You're not going to believe this but I had a Buick Park Avenue Ultra jump on me Friday night late. Same scenario....but...the third time I played. I looked over at him and gave him the nod...light turned and I was gone...like maybe 8 lengths...ran up to about 70 and backed off..... saw him comming up for a "fly by". As he closed ...I nailed it and backed off at 100. That was all she wrote...he was done.
