My firs kill post...BMW!!!

This is just my second post on the ORG and a 1st kill post. This happened Thursday night around 1:30. I was waiting at a light and a '96 BMW 328is pulls up next to me. At first I didn't care much about racing that late at night in front of a Fire station but this chick just rolls down her window,looks weird at me, and moves her car up about1/2 car length in font. There were cars parked about 80 yards in front so she thought she could just get by without a problem . I have an AutoMagic(Tragic)whichever you guys prefer so I put it in overddrive waited for the green and smoked the *****. I looked at the numbers and they are pretty even, they have 190hp/207 tq and weigh about 100 lbs more. This is a pretty good start to my Max life. Talk to u guys soon...

good kill.

I usually have my OVERDRIVE OFF when just cruising to save up on the crazy gas prices here in Chicago. Only when I see someone pull up to me, with a smirk on their face thinking they can just pass me like I'm some 90 year old grandma, then only do I put the car in OverDrive. It is a pretty big difference...

Um, no.

You will save more gas if you have O/D "on". This allows you to go into 4th gear, which will save you gas. The only function of the O/D Off button is to lock out 4th gear.

Search, this horse has been beaten to death.

What exactly did I get mixed up? With overdrive ON I felt the car pulling way harder than with it OFF so I thought that it would save some gas if the car wasn't being pulled so hard...
