Default Raced One Of These Today!

Size:  168.3 KB I was cruisin' on the highway today on I84 in CT when this pulled up on my ***...There was a wide load pre fab home with safety vehicles front and rear... I let him by and went up his ***...The traffic cleared and we went at it...I have never seen a car like this before but figured I would play and get my *** kicked...I knew it was a BMW from seeing the grille in my rearview mirror...Well we hit it at 60 mph, there was a huge clearing because of the wide load clog...Well I was amazed he hit it first and had 10 car lengths on me...As the speed climbed we were dead even up to 150 mph or so...I probably hit the limiter as I noticed he pulled away slightly...At that point we hit traffic and it was the end of our encounter anyways! I was amazed I could hang with it! After seeing the specs when I got home I was racing a high end hybrid...Bet you he was scratching his head after that run having an old Jag hanging with his 140K BMW!
