Had fun with an 850i
 

So, I was driving to work get to this turn where it goes slightly uphill and turns at same time, so of course I hit the gas a little more to get that nice "almost drifting" feeling going, as I make my turn I pass a green 850i. :yum It looked pretty sweet, then I keep on going my way. It doesn't take long for me to notice that the 850 is driving faster and he gets right behind me and flashes his highs twice.

I look around and see that everything's safe, then (I now can say this) downshift to 3rd and hit it, felt that nice m54 kick in and speeds going up :rock we're in a 3 lane road and am having fun doing my favorite trick by zig zagging through traffic, and he's playing follow the leader :woot so we do that for a few minutes and we get to this part where I usually see cops around that time a day, so I slow down and flash my brakes a few times and he passes me.

Here are some pics of it as we approached the next red light :D

nice 850i. been awhile since i seen one myself.

having fun with that manual! :woot

Oh yes I am :bounce

DOn't think I'll ever go back to auto ;)

me either :D

Nice 850i. I just read in last months Roundel that only 15% of all American drivers own a manual. This is one of the reason so many manufacturers don't produce manuals.

the internet manager where i work , he has an 850i and those are crazy cars. we usually end up racing to work by taking back roads and side streets because they are faster. we have yet to race head to head...i think it would be a very good race. unless we were rolling at 60, he would probably pwn me
