The Volvo can't lose...lol!

So I went to the doctor today to see what the **** is wrong with my guts/constant diarrhea and on the way home I was merging onto the road that connects with the Interstate (I35) which I use to get to my rural home. Anyway, this later model Prelude came careening across the grassy median and went from going west to going east, same as my direction. Kid about kurbed the thing as he swerved onto the on-ramp area. He ended up getting on to the ramp just behind me.
However, I have an electronic pass so I was able to buzz right thru, whereas he had to get in a long line of traffic to pay cash to get on.
Anyway, about 3 miles into my trip home I see him coming. I was running around 75 and he was closing fast. As he went to pass me (I was in the right lane) I just decided to see what this loud-*** fart can car had in it...if anything. There was literally NO traffic heading south (my direction), so as he passed me, I punched it and caught him after he had just a few car lengths on me. I was just under 105 at this point, pulling ahead as I backed off the throttle. It seemed to really surprise him at first and then it must have pissed him off, because I hear the fart-can belch out a loud blast and he tried to pass me again.
I just barely got on the gas and kept up with him, he crrrrrrrrrrrepppppppppt up to about 115 or so and just seemed to run out of power. I was holding steady with him, rolled my window down and motioned with my hand, "Come on...faster faster!" But he had NOTHING left, lol. He rolled his window down and was shouting something at me, pretty sure I heard a few "**** YOUs" in there but I just rolled my window back up, mashed the gas and left him falling behind fast as I rolled on up to 135 and held it there for a mile or so.
My exit came up and I pulled off, he was at least a 1/4 mile behind.

It is fun to do these "kills" such as they are, in the mighty twin turbo S80 T6.
NO ONE expects that ****!
