Centimeters...man...centimeters!

... Actually, since there was no ultimate accident, I should be happy... But I'm angry nonetheless

Down-n-dirty rundown of incident:

I'm in middle lane on Broad Street heading westbound at ~ 5:40pm.
At roughly Sam's Club, I'm approaching a white '84 T-bird (that is in the lane left of me) that has obviously been sideswiped sometime in the past... Passenger mirror hanging off by the remote cable... Mirror itself busted out...
T-bird puts right turn-signal on and I'm roughly positioned "my front tires = to his rear tires"...
So I drop 2nd & bolt past him...then ease off to 50mph again.
Well now, apparently, I've offended his ego or something......cuz he now decides he "owns" my rear bumper all the way down Broad.
"That's fine...asshole!", I think as I continue down Broad at 50mph (its a 45 zone) and I'm clearing every light... Do whatever makes you happy...
Now its ~ 5:50 pm and we've just passed under the overpass of I-64 to the 1st light near Best Buy... Somewhere along the drive, I've moved into the left hand lane and he's still with me.
This stoplight turns red ahead and 8 cars stop on a dime ahead of me......but its okay, cuz I have great brakes!
...T-bird...doesn't... Wheels lock up on him, everything about "the front" of his car disappears in my rear view mirror up to his windshield wipers! Smoke from his tires is caressing all around the cabin of The Bruised Banana. I kept getting on and off my own brakes to use up every spare piece of room between me and the car in front of me to give the T-bird jackass room to "not mate" with my S...
...Thankfully...all went well...and I did not trade paint with anyone...
Burned my ass that a Henrico cop was side-by-side of us (but 2 lanes over to the right)...windshield down, one hand on steering wheel, one hand up ass...(actually resting his chin on his hand in the window...same diff, right?)... Sh~t never even looked over to his left during all of this...
