One of the perks of my job is being able to take home any one of our 14 in house cars (not including the 6 trucks we now have, hehehe. I am a GM guy myself). So while my pick-up is getting a big lift, I took the RS6 home last night. Had to run a few errnads a few towns over and while driving home after a long day, a e39 M5 rolls up on me on I95. And yes, I am close to the Bridgeport Bridge that burned up due to that tanker that crashed.
Anyway, this M5 guy is doing the usual speed up/slow down crap, par for the course i guess. That was fine and all and I wasn't in the racing mood so I felt no need to destroy this guy of which I am sure he had no idea what we had done to our RS6. This went on for an exit or 2 and I felt no need to prove anything, I guess I am getting a bit older. All was fine until the M5 guy did the following:
He rolls down the window, looks at me, sticks his tounge out and gives me the thumbs down. At that point, IT WAS GO TIME!!! I give him the international "You wanna go" sign, and he bites, I let him get a car length and pull right along side, this happens twice. I then give him the international "bye bye" sign and I am out. He keeps trying to keep up but never got more than a car length or 2 behind me. Feeling no need to push beyond 140, I shut down and in the end he blows by me and now sticks his hand out the window with the thumbs up. I don't think this guy knew what hit him, hehehehe.
