Default Crazy Field Goal Move Beating An M3 Beemer..

This move was probably the craziest one that I've ever done so far... I ended up racing an M3 beemer. I didn't realize how fast the M3 was until now... "Son of a gun" kept boxing me into slow cars, we reached speeds up to 120+ in the clear.. and like I said he kept boxing me in... after the 2nd time... he tried to do it again, but during the 3rd time... Just ahead I saw two cars in the middle and right lanes... I was in the middle approaching these cars... and the M3 was in the left lane a little ahead of me.. He slowed down to box me in.. Now.. for all you s2k drivers... this one was for you.. The car in the middle was leaning more to the left side and the car on the right side was leaning towards the right most side of his lane... I saw a quick opening and split the cars. I gunned my yellow s2000 and the M3 never caught up to me.. .. not until I slowed down, looking at him next to me with a smile... He shook his head in disbelief... by this time.... I took my nervous ass off the expressway and home to cool off the s2k..

I'm sure we've all had people provoking us on the highway, for whatever reason, but you need to put your safety and others' first when you choose to respond.

it's an all or nothing principle.. either do it or don't , I'm just telling you of an experience I had.. this was the last time that I raced... I sure of heck don't do this kind of move all the time... I already heard if from my best friend who's a cop.. I didn't get into the race.. knowing that this was going to unfold in front of my eyes.. It was either slamming on the brakes... or taking a big risk.. I'll admit now.. it was a stupid split second decision... but what's done is done....

An all or nothing principle.. you're taking on the same kind of risks if you're accepting a challenge with someone on the road... it doesn't matter if you're going 120+ or 60+ in 2nd gear.. when you rev that engine and allow the vtec to kick in... You're risking everyone around you...
