I had to run down to my office today (I am on PTO this week) for Christmas gifts that got delivered and got to have some asshat in a G6 GXP try to *flex* on me. It was a rainy day too BTW so I wasn't out to prove anything other than get from A to B without risk to my life.
First success for him was at a red light I was approaching. I was slowing down a little early due to the rain and people were pre-emptively running across the crosswalk. Idiot flew up beside me and cut me off for a second slot at the light. I was in the middle lane. He put his hand out the window with a thumbs down gesture. I was like "WTF dude, yeah you rock!" in my head. I figured he'd be long gone and I'd just continue on my merry way. He continued down the road weaving in and out.
Traffic backed up so I merged left and ended up passing him up ahead as he almost caused an accident trying to pass from the right lane all the way to my left lane (three rows)...next thing I know I get a red light and he does it again out of the clear blue (I thought he was lost in traffic, but fortunately no one was in the crosswalk because this time he way stopped past it). I could have cared less up to this point where I had to almost get to ABS to stop in time, I ended up stopped where he should have been...he was in the crosstraffic's path which created a commotion there.
So next we are merging onto I-95, I was in the right lane turning and he was behind me in the left. It's a double on-ramp that merges to one, that then spills onto the highway. He flew up the left lane in an attempt to cut me off when the guy in front of him hit his brakes (probably pissed off and in a big van), then he flies behind me. He then tries to pull a pass at the last minute where it goes from 2 to 1 lanes prior to spilling off to the highway. Access denied, I was done with this BS.
Then he does a total stupid move and tries to fly up the striped partition between the highway and merge lane to pass me (probably sending all sorts of rubbish onto cars behind him). I already had my clear window to merge and was off, he was about up to my side mirror when he was obliterated, then he went to the shoulder of the road...I was already long gone.
The funniest part was the same guy that brake checked him ended up roadraging and pulling a cockblock on him. Big POS van totally contained his GXP. I wish I could have seen the final outcome.
Anyway, long story short I always look up cars that try to race me when I get a chance. I am thinking he knew the M3 comes with a 3.2L engine and he had a 3.6L. I am also thinking he thought his airplane factory wing on the back would carry him to the finish line of a race I wasn't in.
I don't get into 'street races' except when it's up to *legal* speeds and safe on any kind of road that would have any risk of cross traffic from cars, people or animals.
just venting as I came home and almost got hit head-on by another asshat blowing his horn at me while not stopping at a stop sign down the road I was turning into.
