I experience the same craziness daily on my 30+ mile commute. Everyone wants to race the guy in the Porsche. Not sure why, but they do. I go well out of my way to avoid these people.

Let's face it. It comes with the territory. You can win, you can lose, or you can elect to not play the game at all.

I just let them go on their way, then look at my wife and say "I guess he SHOWED US!"

Of course, when I was much younger (and single) it was a different story, I once ran some kids in a Mustang off the highway onto the shoulder for jackin' with me. Not proud of that, in fact it was mighty stupid. With age comes wisdom, I guess.

Once upon a time in a land far, far away, I was this guy. Gleefully thrashing the guy who paid way to much for his "glorified VW" with my TransAm & built 455cui w/4 on the floor!
So I quickly & easily recognize these immature scofflaws, & generally refuse to acknowledge their presence. I've also found this is a somewhat regional problem easily avoided by using the 405 exclusively. What's the old saying? "Takes one to know one"?
