First badge of honor ....

Yep, just like many have bragged about it before me. I killed an M3 this morning on the way to work. Let me say that I normally don't street race anybody but ever since I put on my plenum/high flow cats combo, the car just feels so awesome and so responsive. On top of that the sound of the exhaust is lambo like. So any way, I wanted to really put my baby to the test. This morning I rolled into this traffic light and guess who's right next to me. A white M3. It was an older model (E36), must have been 97 or 98 but in good condition. There is this 40ish guy inside dressed in a suit. I am thinking "Well, he probably won't do anything". I am not taunting him or anything by the way. Then I see an escort 8500 in his dash. I go to myself "maybe we're into something here". So the light turns green and we launch normal, but then he floors it and goes by me. I give my G a WOT and quickly shift to second. By this time, I am 1/2 car lenght from his nose. Then I shift to 3rd at 6500 RPM and I go by him. His front bumper is lined up with my door. I pulled some more on him and then he cuts off. Probably thinking he ain't gonna catch me in time before we hit the traffic in front of us. We must have been doing 80 at this time. I am not really paying attention to the speed since I am looking at my RPMs and the road. My exit quickly comes by and I veer to the right and he keeps on going. Funny thing is, I don't even look back at him. I feel ashamed but joyful at the same time for having done this. From there on, I am all smiles on the rest of my way to work. It will be a good day today!!!!!

Hey fish, what's up? You know the exit I referred to in my story was the Germantown parkway exit that takes you into Roadshow BMW. He should have been the one doing the exiting and I should have kept on going....lol.....

I figured that was the exit. Walnut Bend to GTown Prkway ought to be declared a drag strip.

He probably WAS trying to get to the exit but he couldn't get it around you!
