Eat This!

So I'm slowly strolling along in early rush hour yesterday afternoon, and I hear a car coming up in the lane to my left. It's a white E60 M5 with aftermarket wheels, a little extra tint, and the modified exhaust (at least...). OK, fine, if that's what he likes, whatever. I sure wouldn't kick it out of my garage (but I wouldn't let anyone see it in my driveway! )

WAIT A MINUTE! What did that license plate say?

BENZ-ETR

WTF???

And what's this? His passenger side window is down? Excellent...

I look at my gas peddle and catch up (seriously, I only had to look at it ), roll down my window, and while pointing to the badging on the side of my S55, I give a couple of nice, hearty shouts of "EAT THIS!!!" and pass him s-l-o-w-l-y so he can read the S55 ///AMG on my truck.

He laughed, I laughed. Good times...

Did you guys race? Because this is a "hello" story before it was ever a "kill" story.

Of course we raced! Do you think I gave a rat's patootie about the hundreds of innocent drivers all around us? We raced from a 30 mph "roll" and not from a "dig", I got a good "pull", and "walked" him all the way up to 40 mph.

Is that better? Enough cool buzz words? I hope I used them correctly, I'd hate to embarrass myself again. I am soooo sorry that my previous post did not meet the requirements for being worthy of this fine forum.

That was actually pretty funny, but the story would be better served somewhere other than the designated place to recount harrowing tales of tripling speed limits while furiously comparing dick size on state highways.
