Classic Race story.....

I posted this on another forum about a year ago when I had my C32....
.
.
.
"Last night (Thurs. night) it snowed about 1/2 inch or less in the Bethesda/Rockville area... I was dropping my cousin off, who lives a couple miles down the road from here.. I never intended to drive the C32 in the snow being that I have a few variables against me. 1. It's rear wheel drive 2. I have Michelin Pilot Sports on it (OEM) 3. Too much power for the snow... Anyways I was barely managing and sliding all over the place.. Praying to get back home (keep in mind again.... less than 1/2 in of snow)... This silver B5 Audi S4 pulls next to me at the traffic light, signals me to roll my window down and asks if I wanted to race.. I just laugh in response ... The light turns green and he takes off and I launch like a Geo metro on 1 cylinder.... At the next light he said "Quatto's where it's at man, LATER!".. He took off again....... The end...
Eric... "

Like I says in my other posts: "You can't win them all." But what you can do, is next time you see him, beat him severly, and than race him, beat him, roll down your window, and say: "All Hail AMG."
