I was tooling along in my 2000 I30t when I caught a glimpse of Mr. 740i threading his way thru the twisties about 300 yards in front of me. I knew the road, and I was hungry for sauerkraut, so I thought I'd "introduce" myself. He saw me coming when I was about 100 yards back, and the race was on! I could see the 740's body rolling hard in the curves, but I reeled him in after a couple of 20-mph S's. Try as he might, he could not shake me off his tail. I let him pull ahead in a straight (Why drive 80-mph+ in a 45-mph zone?!), but I caught up again in the twisties in less than a mile. Thank goodness for my Stillen FSTB and RSB, which I put to very good use. I call that a KILL. Can someone verify...?

Keeping up with someone, even if you could gain ground, gets you 2nd place. He could have just been going fast enough to stay in front. Until you get past someone, you haven't out driven them.

OK, you say so. But I was close enough to see his eyes in HIS rearview mirror! (WTF, he's still there... He's Still There... HE'S STILL THERE!) Ba-a-ad bullseye. NO, No, No.
