What do flashers mean?

So tonight I detailed my car and took it out on a cruise in a nearby city just to enjoy the spring air (75F goodness) and just doddle around town.

This has never happened to me before, mostly because I have previously driven an Acura Legend and an MX6, but every single import I drove near tried to race me. I was just cruising at 43mph in a 45, with traffic ahead, and this bozo driving an MR2-turbo slows down to me and floors it a few times trying to egg me on. Finally he just hits it and I'm still enjoying my cruise. I almost laughed.

Literally a few minutes later, a TSX weaves through traffic and gets right beside me in a low gear. Again, off he goes as I turn into the right turn lane.

Finally, I am driving towards the interstate exit to head home, and some silly Sentra SE-R floors it and almost hits my rear. He then weaves around three lanes of traffic just to get to the light beside me. So I am sitting there at the light, and two Homied-out kids were looking back at me as they leaned WAY to far back in their seats. The light turns green, I start to go, and the idiot just launches his car. At no point do I even try to take the bait, and when he's about 2-bus-lengths in front of me, he gets into the exit lane and hits his flashers.

What does that mean? That I lost a race I wasn't involved in? That I should have raced? That he is a douchebag? I don't get it.

Is this kind of crap what I am to expect my wife to endure when she starts driving the Si? I am worried for her safety after tonight. Does this happen to you other Si drivers?
