Subject: Long-Crazy mourning , or am I crazy when a black 540 purposely pulled in front Author: silber98 : member since December, 2003 : 5965 posts Posted on: 2004-06-21 13:13:07

of me from a side street as I was cruising along and had to brake momentarily, then he had the nerve to accelerate and accelerate as to say "Take this, in your Face!" (Maybe this is all in my mind!) Nevertheless I accelerated and said to my self-great just a little spirited driving on a nice long country-winding road with little to no traffic and one known road I travel everyday to work. No! He kept on accelerating as to say "Yeah, try an keep up!" oops there goes the common sense right out the tail pipe as I punched the pedal to keep up, he then kept accelerating, wow is this guy nuts! And with my now faulty reasoning told myself if he can do it i can do it and show him how a 740 can perform as I barely glance down to notice we were past the 80mph mark and approaching a slight turn with a straightaway that had a nasty rollercoster hill, I notice he did not brake and neither did I and whoop! Like right off a ramp! He went airborne I went airborne and I am talking about all 4's and bam! The suspension got a workout and the DSC kicked in and the car, my car continued accelerating like nothing happened, but we came to the next hill quickly and he braked as if to say "not doing this (airborne) again and this guy with the 740 behind me is nuts!" I agreed and braked also as we went over the hill. He kept a constant speed down the hill and quickly braked and made a right turn and I kept straight, now thinking to myself what an idiot I am, not only did I put my life (or maybe a deer) in danger, but I could have damaged my 740!!

Embarrassed, but had to be open, and told myself that I will never do this again!
