2002 CLK55 vs. BMW 5 series (528 I think)

I'm driving home on the highway into the city last night around 9 PM. I'm having some fun on my own - accelerating from 75 to 100 a few times. At one point I'm doing about 80 and this BMW 5 series flies by me. I think it was a 528 - he's joking right?
Anyway, I hit it and blow by him at about 100 I'd say - from the right lane - he is in the far left. I get way up ahead and I know he is trying to catch up. I need to merge left and there's some room between two trucks (middle lane). I get between the trucks and check the left mirror and see him coming in the left lane - prob 6 or 7 lengths back and hauling. I wonder for a sec if I'll cut him off really bad but we have 4 lanes to play with now so I say screw it. I punch it and merge left....see him coming. He was def going much faster than me when I spotted him. He gets to about a half a car length behind but never catches me....as I am accelerating. It's over! I'm pulling away hard and he's back several lengths again. Then I look down and I'm doing 115 mph around a wide highway turn....WHOA!!
So now I exit and right off the ramp is a red light and I'm on the left. I look back and see him coming up - dude followed me. He pulls right beside me and it's impossible to resist. I turn of the traction control and the light turns green. I punch it and peel out big time...*** kicks out a bit. He gets the jump of course but once I get traction he's history. We only raced up to about 50 mph but he was destroyed again. I know it wasn't the wisest thing to do but the adrenalin got the best of me. I bought my 208 CLK55 in July and this was my first good kill. Granted not that serious competition but loved the rush!!

Good story bro, It really pays off when you get to kick some *** in these cars... Must have made that guy feel like crap for having an underpowered Beemer.
