Default New V8 M3

Well I was cruising back from Burbank on the 5 the other day and i see this BMW in my rearview i think it's a 330i, just cruising along with me. I move over to pass a slow car and move back into the same lane, well there is another car in front of me but the fast lane is open for at least 1/8mi.

Mr. BMW (older white guy ~early40's) pulls into the fastlane and i notice it is a M3 w/ paper tags. He pulls even w/ me, jocks the throttle, then backs off and drops back two car lanes. Ok he wants to play . I just gotta get around one more car for a clear lane, w/out warning he pulls of all things A RICER FLYBY and keeps going!!!!! Apparently he wants to play an insane game of "LET'S DODGE ******* TRAFFIC". I speed up a lil bit to watch him go, he slices through traffic for a good 2miles before i lose site of him. And i mean SLICES, as in cutting off big rigs, and cutting through cars that are nearly bumper to bumper.

I will never understand people.


So in the end......... I guess i got killed?!?!

I don't get it either...
Is this some sort of new trend?
I've seen it done myself and I just shrug it off.
Don't give chase, never was a race...

God job not being a fuktard and running in traffic.

Always remeber, there is one strong difference between porquipines and BMWs.

On a porquipine the ****** are always on the outside.....

Sorry you didn't get a chance for a clean run. I was hoping there was a fair race in here, but I guess maybe you will find a nicer driver next time.

Yea im not a traffic racer either...too many other people to worry about.

The new M3s sound pretty nice...I heard they were starting around $65k ish and were running close to what the M6s used to run.

Exactly. People that do race through traffic are amatures. They think cause they can waste you through traffic that they have an ultimate car...instead..there just stupid. Good job for not being an idiot.

Toolbag drove like it's his first fast car. Maybe he finally got a raise/promotion/life insurance settlement and traded in his Civic Si.

Too bad, from what I've read, it would be a good race vs. a bolt-on LS1. When the DCT (dual-clutch tranny) come out, that might make it a little uneven though...

MrElectric03, what do you mean what M6s "used to run"??
