Hello all, My story goes as follows: It was November of last year and I'd had my 95' M3 two months. I had an aunt pass away in Northern Ohio which required my presence at a funeral. First of all, I left on a Monday morning @ 12:00 am and drove 7 hours in a snowstorm on Z rated tires (quite frightening and the only time I've driven the car in weather). Anyhow, later Mon. turned out to be a better day weather wise. On the trip home, I was following my Brother in his wife's Cabrio. He was as excited as I was about my car. He wanted to see exactly how quick the car was. So we're on I -70 and there's no traffic. He calls me on my cell and tells me to drop down to 55 mph hit third gear and give him a chance. I only dropped to forth. He took off as well as I did and he thought by 65 mph that maybe his car was quicker than he thought. Then I hit third.... and he said I "took of so fast he didn't even know what was going on." He tried two more times and then said that "when those headlights point into the air it's absolutely the scariest thing I've ever seen when I'm trying to race." Not the most impressive race I know, but still funny.

Also, 1993 Corvette Auto. Got a fender on him. Not what I'd call a kill, more like a hold off.

It sure was fun. It made a quick car seem like a Ferrari.
