Well, You people of WA, As I drove home last evening, from a friend's home, there was this juiced up BMW M-series that thundered around me , passing everyone to get ahead.

I caught up to him at the traffic light.

Lights went green, Thr car growled ,then left a bit of expensive Perelli rubber , I suppose, behind; made a gap of a half a mile in no time.

again, caught up to him at the nest traffic light , about a mile away.

At That traffic light, we both made a left turn on the green filter/ arrow.

The fellow, screamed off again.. only to make a right turn, about a 1/4 mile ahead of me.

If you know anything about West Los Angeles's streets, you cannot really enjoying driving such a car.

I have a 2003 ml350 which can easily cover distance in a short time rapidly; and I remained within the speed limit, and still , I arrived at the same place as that other fellow did.

my observations from this activity, is as follows:

================================

Do not expend valuable energy to go nowhere fast.

one step at the time will get you there.

Now, if the thing had wings. BY ALL MEANS .. FLY.

=========================================

On an open desert hi-way , out in the boonies, (middle of nowhere), on a 6 lane high way, yes, go there and floor the pedal safely.
