Default my neon vs. 330Ci --- no joke.

So with my brand new Mopar PCM last night I got caught at a light first. I usually hang back just a bit from the white line 'cuz I know PD's usually prefer your nose isn't kissing the cross traffic. A BMW comes rolling up behind and then at the last second jigs right to take the open lane next to me. The road ahead merges quickly. Thought it was kinda rude. . . and he's one of those dumb drivers that does like his nose poking out into cross traffic. So. . . a fairly sharp angle I confirmed it was a 330Ci. A little hard to see. . .I might be wrong, but I'm 95% sure that's what it said and not 325 or 328.

I rolled out quickly at the light and it obviously surprised him. Had half a car on him when He punched it. Well. . . long story short by 60 MPH I had about 4 car lengths. I'm pretty sure he short shifted second gear (he didn't seem intelligent enough not to) if it was a stick but at 60 he was obviously embarrassed. Hung back a LONG ways for a mile or two. Then after a while, I guess when he figured out I wasn't speeding off (I tend to acclerate hard all the time but I rarely speed much) he pulled back in on me and tail gated for about another half mile.

. . . by then I had my cruise control on and was just happy tooling down a county road back home so I think he gave up--turned off and left me alone.


The only explanation was that he didn't know how to drive. Still it felt REALLY good to leave a 330Ci four cars back. I LOVE the new PCM.

Nice kill, man. Nice too see a German POS get spanked, especially when almost all of their drivers are arrogant mother [sm=smiley35.gif]...

Nice Kill!
I got to find the one that got away, an M5 with mods was egging me on in heavy traffic, I was in the Runner and I looked at him and gestured to look all around, it was too packed, but he was a jerk and pulled over on the right shoulder and was passing on a 2 lane road in a semi- residential area. Ohhh, do I wan't to find that one and put his wallet on a diet![:@]

Great kill,
Out here in L.A. all the BMW drivers think there sh*& don't stink, so they are rude drivers, never blink, cut people off or come up to a light on the right hand side of people to pass them. when there is only one lane. Happened to me once in my truck I had last, I didn't notice him come up, then I gunned it once I saw him, he got out in front and started to laugh, and lets just say I have a bit of a temper and got on his ***, and you could tell he was trying to get away and I was stuck on him. Must of scared him because he blew through a stop sign, Which I did stop at, then he blew through a red light. A%$HOLE

Anyways, here is a quick joke speaking of BMW drivers.


What is the difference between a bmw driver and a porcupine?










the ***** is on the inside.
