You can't have too many cylinders or cubic inches.
I pulled up to a red light on Ocean Pkwy. A black e60 pulls up alongside. Of course the guy wants to race. I'm like "whatever, I'm not 18 anymore". So I lost him and stayed ahead of him by negotiating traffic for about 10 blocks
Finally he catches up with me again and its a rolling start, as the green comes on right when we're coming up to the stop light. He peels out, I shift into 3rd and go slow, just barely keeping up with him. In a block or two, I catch up with the guy again at a light, roll down my window and tell him "forums.e60.net - if you REALLY wanna drive, come to the July 25th meet! Peace"

As if to prove your point further, the following happened to me a couple of hours ago:

The dude sounds like a stoplight racer only. I doubt he'll show.

if he does, he might graduate from being a stoplight racer 
do you shift manually when you go at it or let the automatic handle it for ya?

I was doing it for her when I got the error. Running her in Sport the car kept playing it safe.

Or you could take our favorite road but go last in line so you can go slower.
An idea.....
