My first race in the S320.

So I know the S320 isn't a particularly fast car, but I was curious as to how it actually was. Overall, in the short period I've had it, I get the impression that she's quicker on the open road then she is around town. Anyways, I lined up tonight on an impromptu stoplight race against what looked like a last gen Volvo S60. Now I know nothing about Volvos, but it wasn't the newest one, but it looked like something from the late '90s, early '00s.

I punched it from about 30 or so, then he followed suit and passed me pretty easily. Next thing, I look down and I'm doing 70 in a 45! Sheesh! She gets up pretty well up around 55-60.

Oh, I raced a few hot teenage girls in a '00+ Taurus sedan the other night. Passed 'em like they were standing still.

heres a tip, when racing hot girls, always tie or lose. When you win, you never see them again.

^ Touche. Or in my case, not race them but roll the window down, start a conversation and meet up somewhere.
