Default BMW ricer (almost a kill)

ok tonight me and 2 of my friends are heading north on RT 2 and the way this road works near me is....at the very north is baltimore like one of the major cites of MD then as it goes south the ghettoness degresses first with glen burnie, then pasadena, then severna park (me), and then ends with annapolis the capitol not very ghetto....anyways....we are leaving the pasadena area about to enter glen burnie when we see this bmw 3 series i think...it didnt have the emblems on so i wasnt sure but i was sure that it had a wing and a fartcan which me and both of my friends thought was a disgrace to bmws...heh... so we go by it and there are 2 guys in it with their hats sideways and all that crap u know what i mean they kinda glance at us so we get in front a ways and then after a couple lights they catch up to us and pull up next to us at a light. they are playing eminem on the stereo and my friends and i are like this is soo ghetto haha...so they start honking the horn and revving the engine as if they wanted to race (what morons)i dont even look over hehe... so the light changes and he peels his tires like a mother and i jus go. so i have a bit of a head start and still pulling bc he has to shift and i was pulling a little in addition to that and everytime he does drops back a little.. my friends are laughing haha it was fun..by the time im going like 85mph (this is like a 50 zone btw ) he starts to catch up and when i hit 100mph he passes me with a middle finger what kind of sportsman ship is that??? dumbasses but yea it was fun and i had him for a good while hehe i bet if i had the intake and new plugs and wires i could have had it heheh

You woulda beat him on the track probably. Our quarter mile mph is ususally in mid 90'*.

So I would consider that a kill. You also had 2 kids in the car. Without them it woulda been no problem. But he also sucked at shifting too. If it was a really good driver...hmmm who knows it depended on the model.

Ya I killed a BMW once, and only had Taylor wires at that time. But the person driving was no more than 22, and he probably couldn't drive it well. But I was also running very cool, so I probably had an advantage there too.

But that'* pretty retarded he flipped you off. He was pissed you practically killed him. What a scumbag. I think you won too, he didn't pass you till 100mph. I'd be happy about it.

I haven't found mine either. I've gotten to 110~111 but stopped there. I may be able to do more. Maybe next time on the QEW I'll try again. I just hope I don't see a riced out BMW, or I may have to

I'd say that was a kill....

For starters he didn't take you over until around 100mph.... so I'd agree that it'* safe to say you beat him in the 1/4 mile. (and you beat him to 0-60 of course).

Not sure if it was his poor driving ability, or his car, but him flipping you the bird suggests to me that it'* probably poor driving ability, and definately poor attitude.

And last but not least, you did have two other people in your car... probably adding an extra 300+ lbs.... so.... adding it all up....

I'd say you won, nice kill
