The best impromptu drive of my life!
Alright, so I went home this Friday and came back on Saturday down Interstate 44. Now, 44 usually sucks. You have to fight truckers and retarded out-of-staters who don't know that the left lane is not for squatting. Anyway, about 10 minutes into a hellish drive, I'm sitting in the left lane, waiting for these jokers to get out of my way when this nice surprise comes up quick in my rearview mirror. I spot what looks to be the ambers and low beams of a BMW. I catch a glispe of a reflection of what looks to be some kidneys and I start to get excited.  So I step on the right pedal and floor it in the right lane. The car follows. We dart back into the left lane, going about 110.  Turns out it a 2005ish 330Ci. Yay! So we follow each other and switch lanes like crazy, passing each other at 100 mph and pushing people out of the left lane for each other. This shenanigans went on for about 60 miles!!!!! Just two BMWs playing around on the interstate, between 80 and 110.  About 40 miles into this, a 2006 Mustang Roush comes out of no where and gets in between us. I'm in the front, then the Mustang, then the 330Ci. I get over because I recognize the fogs and headlights of a Mustang. And this Roush floors it to what looks to be 150 mph! Holy shit! I was so f'in loud and amazing! I gotta have respect for the Roush. Anyway, when it was my exit, I waved out the sunroof  and his passenger window rolled down (tinted windows) and the passenger waved to me. Oh, and I was taking some pics while it happened. (Keep in mind that we were averaging about 90 and the pics aren't that great.) This is a rearview mirror shot, the white lights being the 330Ci:  This is a crappy pic of the 330Ci passing me pretty fast:  General pic:  A quick snap of my speedo:  Best impromptu drive ever!!!
