My First Victim

Here i am driving home, minding my own business got into a stoplight then this guy in a white Chevy Silverado pulled up right next to me. I noticed in my peripheral vision that he was staring at me and I can see his truck lunging back and forth as if to provoke a race. I just said to myself "Ahhh..I'm to old for this". But then again as if my X say trying to tell me something and so maaaannn when the light turned green i didn't even have time to think about it and it was on an inclined road too. the 4.8 smoked him so bad i didn't even expect it to be that easy. I think this was a bad experience cuz' now i know what my "Black Mamba" can do. I guess thats it for my X's nickname.

You broke the coveted "keep the RPMs down the first few hundred miles" on a new engine.

You are fine as long as you don't keep steady speed. No RPM's restriction.

A guy in a Lexus did the same thing to me at a light when I had my '01 E53. She was a beast. After I blew him away, I slowed down to let him catch up to me. He saluted me And I blew him away again.

I don't do that too much anymore. Yeah right. I don't race them, just show them who's boss. After I make my point, I drive normally and laugh my ass off when they try and show me.

A guy in an older ///M3 was next to me at a light a few weeks ago. He wanted to show me he was superior. Except he screwed up his shift. Man, was he pissed.

Naahh. Happens to me all the time, and I'm in Charlotte, NC. Most times, I ignore them -- especially the Chevy-truck-driving fools who somehow think they can keep up.

A few weeks ago, a youngster in his modded Honda (read: loud exhaust) challenged me, and I could not resist. I actually felt sorry for that poor sap.
