Showed some kids in an Altima what's up

Funny story coming home from getting groceries at Target today.  As I loaded my stuff into the trunk I saw 3 dudes, probably in their early 20s, walking to an '08-ish Nissan Altima.  I got the vibe that at least one of them was eyeing my car as they went by.  I thought that was weird because, lets be real, who eyeballs a Lincoln MKS, lol.  As I'm pulling out of the parking lot onto the main road, I noticed they were the car behind me.  I pulled into the middle lane, so they'd have the right lane wide open, and I went a little slower than usual.  Sure enough the kids took the bait and got on it when they pulled out, and tried to blow past me on my right.  I put it to the floor and the car downshifted just as they got next to me... and they stopped pulling, like instantly.  I mean they went from zooming past to dead even at my door in a heartbeat, and then started fading into my rearview with a quickness. At the next light I was turning left and they were going straight, in the lane next to me.  I looked over and the driver smiled and waved kinda awkwardly.  I gave them the thumbs up and went our separate ways.

I know, I know, a decade old Altima is nothing to brag about stomping.  But I'd be lying if I said it wasn't fun showing younger dude that even though my car looks like Grandpa's Sunday driver, it hauls ass.  It felt EXACTLY like this:  https://youtu.be/Mrx24jofi0w?t=4

Exactly.  When I let off, the gap was too big for any company to insure, lol.
