He finally turned off the high beams when he was about 5 feet off my rear bumper.

Apparently he was uber pissed off that I actually came to a full stop before turning right. I turned right and started accelerating. He ran the stop sign, turned right as well, and immediately jumped into the left hand lane - on a two lane road with double yellow line - and floored it to go around me while I was still accelerating.

I stopped at 60 mph, my usual cruising speed - this guy must have been doing near 80, as within less than a minute he had disappeared around the next curve over a half-mile down the road.
Had a kid do that while drive the old beetle- and then caught up to him a few miles later while he was pulled over having a discussion with the local state trooper. In the flashing blue light I caught the kids eye and gave him a big smile and a wave and simple kept motoring along at the speed limit...
