Default M5 kill

I was on my way to a friends when out of nowhere I see an M5 pacing me......SUUUWWWWWWEEEEEEEETTT. All I have to say is those are the pimp daddy mac daddiest of cars. Man, this thing was fine. It was a 2003 with that metallic dark blue with fat *** tires on it. Anyway, we are in a little traffic and doing about 60mph. He jumps on it and so do I and, for a second he hangs, but I pull away fairly easily until we come up on some traffic....not really a clean run. So we get out in front of traffic and he is out front with nothing but open road. I try to get along side but he keeps increasing the pace trying to get me up into the higher speeds where he thinks his advantage is. He punches it at about 85 with a carlength jump. I punch it and lazily leave it in 4th(should have downshifted but oh well). We are even until I can get my revs up...basically to 100. And then I walk on by and have about 2-3 cars on him to the top of fourth(140ish). It was a young guy with a lil chickadee in the right seat. We exchanged props. He then turned into a gas staion and I needed some cash anyway so I turned in. It turns out that the car belonged to the little girlie...that little pimp racing the chickie's hot rod sedan. Anyway, he was a very cool guy and those M5s are bad to the bone.

M5's are definitely nice... the owner of our Shop-Rite has one, lol. I've loaded **** into his trunk for him before, and let me just say that I have yet to see a nicer interior in any car. Rims are beautiful, I wish GM made stock rims as nice as BMW. Oh, wait, they do (Z0666666666!).

I've never really liked BMWs, which is why I love to crush them.
I never start it, but if some cocky BMW driver needs some education, then I become a teacher. I guess because most people who drive them have that "look at me, I own a BMW" attitude. I'll never own one, that's for sure. I want a Z06...Yeah Baby! I'm a GM person, always have been and always will be. What can I say, I'm addicted to em.

Z06s are definitely sweet. I'm a GM guy too, but if I ever had to pick a luxury car (other than caddy), it'd be a bimmer.

Hey it requires work. I can Tell if an F-body is a WS6 or not from a mile behind me in my rearview mirror. I need to make flash cards of different light patterns and grille patterns at certain distance for car/opponent recognition.

I drove a ZO6 the other day. My car feels like Fred Flinstone's ride compared to it (in terms of sophistication).
Down here the streets are teeming with bounty (especially when I'm not driving my car, doh!).

Now that would be cool. Speculation is the next generation engine for the M5 is going to be a V10 putting out 500hp. Damn Germans are getting out of hand over there.

Woo-hoo! My 200th post!

Uh, sorry. This is kinda pointless. I figured since I'm at 199, might as well post one more time before I go to sleep

I think BMWs are the ****. My buddy's dad owns 3D Autowerks and they specialize in BMW. My friend has a 325ix with 22k worth of mods to it. Handles better then my car could ever dream and is decently quick. It just bugs me how awesome the fit and finish is compared to my TA. I'll take my car over a BMW any day, but I'd love to have one as a daily driver, they kick ***. M5s really are sweet though, such a pimp car

Hey db99sscam, since you hate the bimmers so much I thought I'd provide you with a good joke.

What is the difference between porccupines and BMW's?
-Bimmers have the ****** on the inside.

I was never much for them either. One of my best car buddys has one; Black with an exhaust -sounds sort of exotic. Not saying I wouldn't drive one, but my true blood is american when it comes to automobiles. I beat his car when we where toying around on the road. My car was mostly stock at the time and I pulled ever so slightly away in the straights. But when we hit the corners, the advantage went to him.

Nice kill FLYNLO!
