Generally not the place for kill stories, but...

The other night I was headed home, 4 lane highway nobody on it at about 1 am, this ricer pulls up beside me, I generally would have shrugged it off but I was tempted to see what the X5 could actually do, all I can say is OMG, the car actually cruises at 130-140, struggles a little to accelerate past there, but I was at least 3-4 car lengths ahead of the guy after the 3rd to 4th gear shift, and once 4th gear started, that thing is unbelievable, I was honestly not expecting it, actually I was expecting to lose by a huge margin.

Yesterday I was in my saab at a stoplight when an M6 Convertible pulled up alongside. When it turned green, I gunned it (all 210 turbocharged hp) and blew him away because he was on the phone .
