Sometimes commuting isn't so bad...

[gotls1]

I was the only one in my office today, so I decided to bail out a little early. It's a gorgeous day out - 75 degrees, sunny, a couple of poofy white clouds in the distance - who could blame me? I got on the road at about 2:30, windows down, the Stones blasting on the stereo ("Can't You Hear Me Knocking" for those who care), Ray-Bans on, and frankly feeling like a little bit of a bad @ss. I had been driving a friend's 3 series BMW for a couple of days, which had been fun in it's own right, but I was glad to be back in the R/T.

So there I am, thoroughly enjoying myself. As I get on the freeway, I look in the rear view mirror, and what do I see looming large, but my opposite. The yin to my cool-vanilla Magnum's yang. A black 5 series BMW station wagon. He zipped past me and into the far left lane. I got over when I could and slowly started moving next to him. I know almost nothing about non-M bimmers, but this was obviously a clean well cared for car. For all I knew, this could be a good run. I pull beside him and look over. He looks back at me and I grin and give him the nod. He gives a little smile and obliges me by taking off. I gave him a second to make sure he was really going for it and I hit the gas. The hemi roars to life - dang, I forgot how good this thing sounds with the windows down! I'm at his bumper...I'm at his rear wheel...I'm at his back door... Before I know it I'm back even with him then in a blink of an eye I'm well past and going away hard. I let off and look over to hopefully give a wave or a smile, but he did the ricer fly-by without even looking.

Oh well, I give him credit for being game for a run, but it's too bad he was a poor loser. Just made my ride home on a beautiful day that much more fun.

Sucks to be told by the salesman at the BMW dealership that it's the fastest wagon on the street... only to get beat down by a Dodge that costs half as much and looks WAY better.
