We didn't race. But his shiny black car looks a lot faster than mine. And one of these days I'm going to join him at the track.

Hey mbmb, dude wash your car, please! Hey Poch, I know he couldn't keep up with you with the extra weight and wind resistance on that car. By the way I hope to send the DV tape to you tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you drive an E55 the way it's meant to be driven, it's going to be dirty sometimes. Get over it.

You are right, my car was just as dirty as yours that morning, except I was off and I was able to have it was before our meeting


James, Great! I can't wait to see the tape.

It looks faster because it's cleaner. It might be faster because he has K&N air filters, an insulated intake tract, and different tires, and because it has another 40,000 miles on it.
