Default Me and the ///M Fellas

The first week when I got my car I was driving home with my boy who was driving his E46 M.. We did a quick run from about a 30 roll and I caught a good length on him but that run didn't last long... It was a four lane highway and I was on the far left leaving him the third lane empty when a car from second lane decided to make a quick merge to the right and clipping him sending him to the highway divider, totaled his car. At that time I decided that I would never do it again. I was shaken.

Second time I was on Long Island Expressway another 3 lane highway when an E92 got excited and started to cut through traffic trying to get ahead of me when I was just cruising in the fast lane at 65 and a car in front of him stop short and him ending rear ending an RDX. I slowed down to see if hes alright but he looked dead in my eye, I stopped my car, asked him if hes okay and went on my way home.

Just yesterday driving home from work I passed by an M6 when he decided to cut through a couple of cars and I letting him hear my V8breathe right behind him and as he gunned taking a main exit which I was taking too (sharp right merging onto another highway) he either didn't know it was a huge turn or just lost control and scraped the whole right side of his car.

Next time I see an M I will gladly let him fly by.

The only pictures I have are my good friends car since I went along with him to see it the next day. I felt bad for him.






Please be careful!!!

Gee, street racing, so safe and fun! I have no pity for anyone that wrecks their car showing off on public roads. In all these cases you are lucky that no one was injured or killed.

Even if people want to race, let them burn their fuel trying. Some things just aren't worth it. I could not imagine my heartache if I was hit by someone or caused damage to my own ride. As long as you're ok, then that's all that matters.

I just ignore them by slowing down and moving to a different lame. They leave me alone somewhat dissapointed because I don't hook up to their game.

But you have a curse for whoever attempts to race you LOL.

I agree 100% I don't really ever race. I get more thumbs up cruising at a normal speed. Speeding during anytime when there are cars around is never safe. After seeing what my friend went through, itactually scares me. U just never know about other drivers and how they would react to coming traffic.

Wow...what a story... that u actually stop to check on the E92 driver if he was okay. I can't say the same about BMW drivers as I had experience an accident myself and the BMW driver clapped and laughed off driving. Now that is a douchebag. hopefully not everyone is like that. anyways drive safely.

DJ,

It takes a lot to admit an action was wrong. Thanks for sharing the story...it will keep me from playing with overly excited drivers who want to try the F.
