Sometimes it isn't difficult to get pulled into a situation like that. Two weeks after I got my 2005 X5 3.0, I was cruising the highway by myself around 3 pm and then I thought maybe I should check what it was like inside the X at 100mph. I wasn't really anxious to see its performance since mine is only an online six and I definitely didn't buy it for speed.

Well, surprisingly, I hit 100 pretty quickly and it was comfortably quiet inside. I was actually pleased that it felt like I was going 60 but the speedo was already glued at 100! Then I saw a Honda in front and his exhaust blackened a bit which tells me that the jerk floored it so I cannot pass. I pressed on and I was just about to pass him when it occurred to me that it would be a 100 mph race from there with my unbroken X5 (about 400 miles) so immediately I slowed back down to 45 and let him go on. ( He knew I would have passed easily anyway)

Well about a mile away later, I saw a cop car with lights blazing and following the poor sucker Honda

It would have been my first speeding ticket in more than 30 years!
