E39 BMW M5 vs. 2005 SL600
Best kill ever.
Well, that's a stretch because there was no race. Let me explain....
Coming back from lunch on the freeway this afternoon, when I see a very pretty blue E39 M5 in my lane, just up ahead. I pull up tight on him and he moves to his right, one lane. I pull even, drop it in 3rd and goose the throttle a few times to let him know I'm awake. He points down at my V12 fender badge and give me the "V" sign with his fingers, followed by a single finger (1) an no, not that finger, then two fingers (2). Then he gave me the nix sign, by moving his hand back and forth in front of his throat.
Mutual thumbs up, then we parted ways.
I'm guessing it wouldn't have been close, but to have him tap-out after he saw my V12 fender badge, was great. There really wasn't much room to play anyway, I was just marking my territory and showing dominance.
Pretty car.

+1, at least he gave props for the Le Mans Blue so he's off the hook...
Still miss mine, a benchmark car...
