Consider them Schooled

[DanRealtor]

So I'm on my way home tonight, minding my own business, when some nice man in an M3 decides he's gonna fly by me like I'm standing still......

Hmmm, Nah, I don't think so. So I give him 3 opportunities to school me: Once as he attempts his fly by = Nope.

Once again from about 80 = Nope again.

And once more (my personal favorite) from about 65 (2nd gear) not even close!

So he departs the freeway, German tail grasped firmly between his legs, and I set cruise at 74 again, and not 2 minutes later, here comes an M3 convertible (top down). This is like De Ja Vu all over again. Only this one has a Mazda RX-8 in tow. It seems they are playing Pole Position already.

Well, what the hell!

Here we go again!

I let both of them pass me then: after giving them about a 10 car length lead.... WOT and HELLO Mr RX-8, how about a rear view mirror full of 300c? Wisely he moved over, and then exited shortly thereafter. Then a couple seconds later: HELLO (found out later) Ms. M3 Convertible. After a couple of remedial lessons of: Who's car is faster, with me being the teacher, she seemed to get spooked and started to weave through the lappers. I didn't want her to think I was stalking her so I just let her go. When I exited, there she was. I thought, Maybe some Stoplight Sweepstakes? But sadly, Johnny Law was on the road with us, so just a low speed farewell.

Oh well, just another episode of "Schooling the Uninformed or Misguided".

SRTATE

Hey Dan,
that's funny!
My wife has an 03 M3 convertible, I can go door to door with her with just
headers and exhaust on my C. So they are obviously no match for the SRT8.

I just Love this car, and it's a luxury comfy car too.

Great post Dan, love the Johnny Law bit, they always seem to show up just as the fun's getting juicy.
