500 SE 1980 vs. BMW M5 (old E39)
Well this didn’t happen today it happen Dec of 2004. It’s raining here in the Bay Area and I remember a kill story that I didn’t share with you guys ( I had a life back then –gf haha). Anyways I was coming from work around 12:00 AM..taking 680 south, from Pleasanton going towards Fremont. It was raining really hard, my front tyres were near slicks ( I hadn’t gotten new tyres) well I was driving about 100mph..i finished all the twisties on 680 coming down hill from Pleasanton. I look to my right and I saw an E39, matching my speed. So I put the pedal slowly down, I’m sure he did the same coming down the mountain into the straight away..anyways long story short we were doing 160 mph down the straight-with heavy rain! It was dead even( I know he could have killed me if he wanted to) then came a fast left hander in which I slowed down to 120ish and he kept going(remember I had bald tyres up front) then I slam it after the turn, get behind him get off on the same exit as he does –give him a thumbs up! And get back on the freeway to go home (Morgan Hill). I figured I shared-just a random memory I had today.
