Ha! That's more like your style of driving Chris!

Actually, that's member Alex.br who is a member on this site.

must be a common mod for people in that video to have their signal lights blink faster for whatever car they drive

Alex.br, I have to say, you're insane! I know you probably don't care what I have to say but no matter, you really need to take that to a track where you're not endangering innocent people!

Now, without condoning the behavior that I just chastised, I must say that the sound of that car was awesome! Also, to the SMG naysayers...there's no way any of you "clutchy boys" could keep up with that stuff...

Okay, back to being serious -- Alex, I really am disappointed that you did that on public roads. As I was watching it, I kept thinking that the driver was being really selfish and stupid. I was quite surprised and bummed out when I read the credits and saw that it was you! :thumbsdown:

Please go rent a racetrack and have as much fun as possible -- and post that video on YouTube for all of us to enjoy!

P.S. -- I suspect that it's possible that the video was sped up just a tad. Either way, it's not cool.

didn't watch to the end until i read rudy's post and knew where he was coming from. +1 take it to the track and keep it safe, not just safety for the driver but safety for everyone around.

This is an older video, one I saw a while ago. It's one of the sicker vids on youtube of the M5 E60. All I've ever said after seeing it is, "Holy s&#t, this guy is gonna kill someone or himself." If just one car pulled in front of you unexpectedly, see ya!

I have to admit the engine and acceleration were sick, but my heart was pounding just watching it. I can't imagine the adrenaline rush of actually doing that. I'm sure you had your fun, but I hope it's not a recurring theme. Wait till the roads clear. That seemed like rush hour traffic!

Aside from the insanity of it all, kudos on the driving skills, but next time take it to the proper venue. I wonder if these are your typical, daily driving habits?

THAT WAS AWEEEEEEEEESOME!!!!!!!!! JUST Great!!

I love the way he spanked that 87 Nissan Altima and totally took out like 7 mini vans.

Seriously, that was sad, like watching a teenager push around a bunch of grade schoolers.
He should try that in NY, Miami, Houston, LA or 30 other cities aaround the world where there are anough cars that will keep up with him, mess with him, cut him off, and slam their brakes just because he's driving like a jackass and they want him to be made aware of the fact.

Ever have a tractor-trailor weave into your lane at 90MPH just to let you know to slow down? Gets the blood going really nicely. What about having someone play chicken with you when you're trying to cut them off to get to an exit ramp?
Ever been forced into a concrete center divider? All good clean fun.
I've been on various ends of all these scenarios... mostly when I was 19 though.

Hey, are there any Airstrips close to his house?

Seriously guys. That was a really bad idea.

You've never driven in Brazil, I take it. They all pretend they're Ayrton Senna or Nelson Piquet down there -- they're crazy drivers!

The title of the clip noted a video speed adjustment.
