Default Gave a Bentley GT the "WING"

I was traveling on a local interstate yesterday in the middle lane doing 70 mph with my cruise on, and my wing down. As I approached a slower moving Escort in the right lane about 8 or 10 cars ahead of me, I noticed a white Bentley Continental GT closing on us pretty fast.
As he passed me on the right with the intention of cutting me off (to clear the Escort in his path) he suddenly realized he had miscalculated and had to slam on his brakes because my "cruise controlled" pace had closed the gap on him.
Obviously "miffed" at what he thought was an intentional "foul" on my part. He quickly cut over behind me, and then into the left lane. While passing me at around 80 mph he glanced over and gave me one of "those" looks, and as he pulled away his wing popped up in a rather obscene manner.
After he got well ahead of me, he then slowed down, his wing went down, and moved over to the center lane.
So I figured one good turn deserves another, and I down shifted into 4th and caught up to him pretty quickly. As I passed him around 80 mph, I looked over and just smiled as I raised my wing and gave him a "salute" that both of our cars have in common (and one I think he understood).


(I guess I should explain that I've "rigged" my wing to stay down until I want to put it up manually. I usually only raise it to antagonize somebody, or to please the kiddies).
