Default One last kill before the holidays...

Well, after dinner with my friends at a local Chinese restaurant, I go out a few minutes early to warm up the Camaro. Parked next to me is a ricey M5 (can you imagine that?) with the full Hamann kit - wheels, aero, exhaust, everything. The dude (some high school prick, I'm assuming since this was the snobby part of town) was pimpin' his M car with 2 extremely hott chicks. And when I say hott, I mean HOTT. Anyway, one of the chicks was standing next to the car with her door open, talking to the dude across the roof.

Politely, I say, "Excuse me," and make my way to my car, but not before double checking to make sure there aren't any door dings. Satisfied, I step in and fire it up, letting it idle. The guy must've not been very happy with the expression I gave his ho, so he quickly gets in his M5 and fires it up as well, but giving it a few revs.

Not to be outdone, I blip it a few times, giving him the full 120dB of raw unadulterated Chevy small-block muscle - all 400whp of it. He didn't rev back, so I assumed I had shut him up, and just sat there waiting for the rest of my party.

They come outside and Laura tells me, "That thing is too loud, I could hear you in the restroom."

"Hehe," I laugh. "The M5 was picking on me."

"That M5 is pretty slick, is it real?" Dustin asked.

"Iunno, who cares. The dude's a jerkoff anyway, trying to rev on me," I say sarcastically, accompanied with the S2ki-famous .

So, they all pile in and as soon as I back out, I see the reverse lights come on in the M5. (It did look like a real M5, just an ugly M5.) So I guess he wasn't done. After pulling out, he chirps his tires and gets behind me as I make the exit onto the frontage road.

In a fury of wheelspin and exhaust, the M5 powers past me. I give it almost full throttle to keep up with him, and as we make the on-ramp at about 80mph, he goes WOT. I'm still not quite at full-throttle, but I'm glued to his rear bumper. All the way 'til my speedo pegged at about 130mph.

From there, I flashed the hi-beams repeatedly, and pulled out to pass. "That's right, dumbass..."

I told Laura to wave out the window...

If you saw this Hamann'd M5, you'd call it rice as well... Unless you like the looks of the VeilSide S2000...

Actually, slcook, Spain, Italy, France, UK, and Switzerland... Hopefully Monaco as well.

I had a blast last time, should be even better this time. I'll definitely have a write-up (with a few pics) when I get back.






But, as you can tell, I'm not watching that movie. The person that was supposed to buy me a ticket, well... didn't buy me a ticket.

Oh well, I wasn't looking forward to watching a 3hr movie anyway.

Er, Hanmann makes good body kits for European sports cars. I wouldn't call them rice. Can you post a picture of one?
