It had nice rims 19s or 20s but moving too fast to get a good look. Mind you I'm in the far left lane at about 75. The X eventually took the lead but remained challenged by the F150. These two were driving like they had just stolen both cars. They were so reckless, weaving between cars I was expecting either a convoy of state troopers or a multicar pile up. please, oh god please tell me the X was not piloted by one of our members. |
Wasn't me, although that is in my neck of the woods. You were driving through possibly the most hazardous interchange on the East Coast when you saw that. Not only do you have out of area traffic to contend with (drivers largely unfamiliar with the road), you have construction there, uneven and swiss cheese pavement, the lanes shift 3 times a total of about 50 yards to the West between the Franconia exit and the 395/495/95 interchange and traffic is typically high volume. Those drivers were maroons.
Unless the F-150 has a half dozen nekkid chicks in the bed, no chance I'd run with it. You get the pink slip of an F-150 on paper in any X- be it X3 or X5, no actual racing necessary.
