My Ride: A Car
i was heading to mitsuwa with my gf yesterday. stopped at a light next to an e46 m3. I didnt expect him to go at it. He didnt rev or anything. I began to go slowly at green and he floored it. i was like, geez, at least lemme know so I was in first gear at 1000 rpms with no power. I was about 1/2 car length from him and began to regain 1/4 car length when i smashed it into second. There was a car in front of him so he cut in front of me so I had to let off the gas and went to 2 car lengths away. I followed him and kept getting closer slowly. I was kinda shocked that I was always keeping and closing up on the e46 m3. either the guy doesnt know how to drive or my DINAN remap really helped.

Man that stuff sounds dangerous. I hope someone doesn't get killed while 2 kids try to figure out which car is faster.

there are some idiots (m3 e46 in this case) that want to prove a point w/their car regardless the cost - in this instance our fellow memeber brabusw209amg was smart enough to play it safe.

I admit I was racing a bit but only to an extent. When he cut me off, I let off the gas. I could've went to the middle where it splits the oncoming traffic and passed him but decided not too. There were no oncoming traffic at the time. I played it safe just in case. pretty sure everyone road races here and there. Just admit to it.

Dont get caught doing it. Here is what happened to me when I got caught.
1st time - I got a ticket for speed contest. That was a 2 point ticket that was on my record for 7 years. A regular ticket is only on there for I think about 3 years. Paid the expensive fine.
2nd time - I got a ticket for exhibition of speed and evading a police ofrficer. Another 2 point ticket, car impounded and a night in jail. It doesnt feel to good getting slammed on top of your hood, than hand cuffed. . Had to pay for impound fees, towing and the expensive ticket. After that, I had too many points within a short amount of time, so lost my license for 6 months.
After insurance found out about this, the rates went through the roof. I also had to get a SR2 inorder to get my license back. A short time after that, I got a ticket for something stupid. Lost my license again for another 6 months.
Sooo, even though its fun, take it to the track. Its alot cheaper in the long run.

Yup, I'm still a kid. 16 years old and my dad bought me a 545i. he pays for gas, tolls, insurance, food, etc.
I admit I was racing a bit but only to an extent. When he cut me off, I let off the gas. I could've went to the middle where it splits the oncoming traffic and passed him but decided not too. There were no oncoming traffic at the time. I played it safe just in case. pretty sure everyone road races here and there. Just admit to it.
