Morning Rush
Woooo...ever had a good morning rush to start the day?
My commute this morning was as usual, paytolls, pick up speed then slows down with three lanes going about 30mph. So this A6 2.7T and 325i are kinda following each other in the lanes, one switches and the other would switch. I'm in the middle lane and they get behind me from the right lane.
After the slow travel for a few minutes, the highway opens up (kinda annoying huh when you see it's clear on the horizon and wondering why you were all slow back there
) and the Audi and Bimmer make the move. The floor it past me, so I do the same 
The Santa Fe behind them try to play as well, but we kinda left it in the dust 
So we're crusin' along 70-80 or so, we would all kinda follow each other when switching lanes, so we would always be in a "pack" so-to-speak. Out of nowhere this Chrysler 300M comes up behind me and passes me. Damn that thing is fast. We're still all in the pack (audi, bmw then me). 300M gets stuck behind a car and gets behind me. Now, those things pull like a ****...he just gunned it when it was clear and it was bye-bye. No one in front of me chased it tho :p
Next paytoll, we kinda go our seperate ways but we each had the electronic collection method, so we cruise by the booths and the audi floors it. Nice acceleration for the 2.7T. I'm in the middle lane, audi's ahead in the left and bimmer is comming up. I kinda just kicked it all the way down and followed the audi, bimmer was just staring at me, hehe.
Finally my exit came about, so i had to leave them. Good way to start my morning, kinda gave me a boost in energy
Just had to share
EDIT: good to know a 10 year old car can still fly at highway speeds :p

God I love that kinda stuff! Good story GDawg. I've done that a couple times, mostly with Bimmer drivers. I find that the Bimmer drivers have more respect and just wanna "play" where as VW and Audi drivers always wanna race me.
