Well I have to tell this or I will burst or somethig.
This is for all you ricers out there who just think that going fast is the only driving.......
Well I went out for lunch and on the way back I came accross this trafic light which has 3 lanes that are a starting point for a freeway (hwy 237when it meets El Camino Real for those of you in the Bay area, CA).
It was the M3 in fast lane, M5 and me in the slowest lane.
Anywho! all three of us looked at each other and smiled in appreciation of our rides... (I think the M5 guy was just being smug that he had the M5).
The light turned green and all three of us let it go.
What do you think hapened.
Scroll down!!!
Well I had to do this.. he he he....
as many of you may have guessed, before we could cross the 4 lanes of the trafic light. the M5 had taken the lead with M3 close to it and I in my 318Ti (a meger 139hp compared to their 200+) was about 2 car lengths behind.
But there is an off ramp that comes at just about at the 1/2mile distance from the trafic light, and it is an almost perfect circle... (I love to take it everyday on my way back from lunch)
So as luck would have it all three of us were headed towards that off-ramp, and a smile came across my face as I knew that the driving skills would become aparant now.
The M5 guy going at about 80+ at this time hit his brakes along with the M3 guy, and that gave me a chance to catch up to them real close...
But as I suspected both of the M5 and the M3 guys were so scared and almost lost control while trying to go fast as I was on their tail as if trying to pass by.... (AHhhh those racing and driving classes at Skip Barber racing school came in handy))
Well those guys just went their speding way once they got onto Hwy85 and I just smiled thinking you may have horse power under the hood but I gots skills....
Just thought I'd share it with Y'll, please no flames! I was just feeling a bit smug!!!!!
Cheers!!!!
