Something to think about
You know we all love to talk about or 'kills.' But heres something to consider.
It was a friday night. I was on way home from a club in Pasadena (Los Angeles area). At 2 in the morning theres prety much nobody on any freeway no matter where you are. I was on the 118 with cruz set for around 100. Half asleep I pass a bimer 5 that was goin around 85. A minute later I see the guy comming in my mirror. So Im thinkin OK ill have some fun. (Keep in mind im driving my pops E320 with stock tires/rimes 16'' I know the limits of the car with that setup.) Anyway, I accelerate so the bimer just barely passes me. I kept up with the guy for about 3 miles and eventually let him go. We hit about 130 - BUT heres the thing, I wasnt flooring it because there was a bend in the fwy and at such a speed in combo with torque I probably would have lost control and died. The car was already rolling as it was.
As he was exiting he flased his E lights and waved. I did the same.
By now the guy has probably gone to his favorite bimer forum and posted his "kill" story.
