So today I'm driving back home and I'm getting close to my exit. I'm two lanes over and trying to merge to make my exit which is less than a mile. This new body style Hyundai Sonata (Butt ugly car) that has be trailing me moves up inside and is purposely trying to move up each time I gain position to merge. Frustrated, I pop over in sport and go WOT and blow past him. He's far behind when I look back. He eventually catches me at the light and asks what model 5 I have. (I'm debadged) I told him 550 and he just says - "Oh - okay"

Now I feel bad. I just checked up on the spec for the Sonata and it barely makes 200 hp. Then again, he was playing with fire.

My Ride: 2007 BMW 550i
When we were test driving 550i's a couple of weeks ago, I tried to race my wife.
She was in a 2007 550i (which we purchased last Fri.) and I was in a 2000 /M Roadster.
I had her up until about 40, but then the 550i embarrassed the /M a little bit.
I couldn't believe it. After driving the 550 myself, I was immediately converted, and hardly miss the /M.
