Got killed by Kramer!

I was carpooling with my bro-in-law in his 94 Accord loaded (he claims he added 80hp aftermarket stuffs) nice ricer. It's pretty fast for a 4 cyl. Anyway, we were on the 405 S bound in the carpool lane and if anybody here is familiar where the carpool lane ends, it's about 1/4 or 1/2 a mile before the next exit which is Wilshire (our exit). We're about 1/4 mile before the carpool lane ends and in the next lane was a gorgeous, all black "beast", a SL55 with no plates and says Auto Steigler (benz delearship in Encino). It was about 1 C/L ahead of us. When the CP lane ended, we were dead even with the car and just curious what the driver looks like, DAMN! it was Richard Dreyfuss. At this point, we have our signal flashing to merge to the right lane to exit. I told my bro-in-law who the driver was and we both looked at him. Well, Kramer returned the favor by looking at us while talking on the phone. I smiled at him and he smiled back, pointed to him that we need to exit and as soon as he snap his head back in the road, he tap on the gas and swoosshh!, he's gone. My bro-in-law says seconds before Kramer did that, he was WOT because he was planning to cut him off and wave goodbye (Stupid move!). It back fired and after we exited, he was like a freaking parrot that keeps on saying "that car is amazing, that car is freaking fast". I told my bro-in-law that good thing it was Kramer who killed us, not Elaine.

When he accelerated did he do his signature head move as if he was in shock?

You are absolutely right. I don't know what I was thinking when I wrote Richard Dreyfuss.

Maybe "Close Encounters"?

Ok, I need to clear things up, I was referring to Kramer of Seinfeld not Richard Dreyfuss of Close Encounter. He looks like a big dude in that SL. What got me was the black rims that he has, looks sharp with his black "beast".
