He waited until the light turned yellow (about 4 seconds) then gunned it through the intersection. His whole goal was to make sure I didn't make it through the light. I just turned around to the driver of the car behind me and shrugged my shoulders. He smiled and did the same.
No harm done, but it was surprising. I have a very chill route and this was the first intentionally negative act by a motor vehicle driver that I've experienced since I switched to this route.

that interesting, he should know that all cyclists run red lights
you will catch up with him quickly.
on a serious note, that is very stupid and just don't understand the hate in some peoples heart for the choice of transportation of others.
