I don't need a new car, but I play that game, too. Downshift, wait for the tailgater's eyes to widen as they realize they've gotten WAY too close, and just about the time they hit their brakes I get back on the gas. Since I've already downshifted, the engine is revved up and I can instantly put distance between us. Works every time.
And before anybody asks, I typically do about 10 over the limit so there's no good reason to tailgate me. If I'm not going fast, it's because there's somebody ahead of me and I refuse to tailgate them.
