Default Damn Traffic!

Well I was cruising home. I had Had just gotten off of work. I was minding own bus. as a yellow lamborghini pulled up next to me. I saluted him by giving him a nice rev. He responded back. I don't know where a Evo showed up from but he lined up next to use. leaving me in the middle lane. This **** was crazy. We alldown shifted on to 2nd gear. at around 50ish. The guy in the Evo honks we all gun it and no more than a few yards away all traffic stops.****! it wasnt an accident it was just rush hour.Fucken sucked!
we all drove about 6 more miles to see if it cleared up.Long story short It didnt.I ended up getting off since My exit had passed 6 miles ago.It would have nice to get a run with that lambo.oh well. I also forgot to mention My boss had given me a milk crate filled with beer that was sitting in my back seat. Not the smartest thing in case I would have gotten pulled over...lol!

ya that always happens to me too espically since i started working in la jolla. but it was like the heavens opened up (when i raced the austin martin) i was so excited i put it in 4th at 75 instead of 3rd so we stayed dead even till i called it quits at like 125 and he stayed on it for another good 10 seconds or so. This was on the 15 north, where were you?

My bad they are not turbo. Checked again. Something sounded wrong. Damn they are really that slow? I thought they would be faster. I guess 295ft. lbs only goes so far They do claim 420hp though.

They do look hard as ****, i'll give them that much.

don't worry. hopefully gas prices will hit some ridiculous peak and clear california freeways.

imho, as the price of gas rises, the value of that gas has risen exponentially.

No the older ones are 3.2l inline 6s with 330hp. without limiter capable of 175 mph and low 13 second 1/4s. They still aren't waste of time if they have a good driver.

the new m3's are still rear wheel drive, correct? i really dont like the look of the new body style, they should have just dropped that v8 into the older one
