Default BMW 550 kill

Yesterday I drove from the Stuttgart area to Speyer, a town on the Rhine. It is a cool town, with a great museum. Great planes, trains, automobile, motorcycle, Russian space craft museum. If link does not work and your interested in it just Google it, it comes up with a English website.

Anyway the wife was with a girlfriend shopping so a friend and I drove up. Like most people he didn’t have any idea what a SRT-6 was and how few they made. I explained how the motor was made about 10 miles from where we were and all the other details we like to talk about. We cruised up the highway around 100 mph in the normal flow of traffic. On the way back two BMW’s were running up the left lane and driving like asses really. I ended up behind a black 550 at about 100. I was 3 car links behind him as traffic opened up I knew he would hit it. I went with him without going to WOT, I could see the traffic ahead and we weren’t going to get far, I just wanted him to see me. The 550 was a “riced” out version with go fast visual accessories. On the mechanical side it at least had pipes as it did sound good. As the last car moved over and the road opened up he hit it with me 3 links back. I shot past him by 130 and run off to the limiter at 155 (mine is still completely stock).
Once again the sleeper crossfire struck. I’m sure he went home and tried to figure out how a crossfire spanked him so hard. Good ending to a good day
