Mike and I's M3 experience

So Mike (this is Tibbett btw) and I were up at the Gap when we met a really nice BMW M3 owner. He gave us props on the Redline and then took us for a ride. We have both videos and pictures though some pictures will be with held for editing until I block out his license plate for him.









Us in the RL behind him...

Sorry about the quality not being the best, but it was taken with my 5 megapixel digital Cybershot and not a Dcamcorder..

Lucky. I'd love to take on the Dragon in an M3. Hell, I'd like to experience it in an RL too.

Yeah..we caught up to him in the gap due to Mike being a damned good driver up there and the fact that the M3 was actually slowed down by some bikes. He was a really cool guy though and had a super nice car..we actually managed to keep up decently well considering.

Did you guys give him a ride in the RedLine? If I get down there when I get back from this pit I'd like to meet up with you guys or something. I'm going to miss 8thcivic's run down there by a few weeks and ,yes, I'm seriously butt hurt about it too.

(this is mike) No we didnt give him a ride in the RL. I really dont think I could have went any faster without compromising safety. So there was no point to him riding with me. That M3 was amazing lol. Super super quick with amazing handling ability. This was the guys 1st trip to the Gap. This was my 50th? 60th? lol. But, the RL held up very very very well. As you can see by the video. I wont post up my speeds but. They were double/triple what I should have been going. We really need to get a meet at the Gap. Our cars(well mine) really impress alot of people there.

lol...that honestly was nothing(not trying to be an ass). You all just have to wait. I think burlap was kidding(atleast i hope). Watch the video of me following the M3 closely. Watch my tassel on the mirror. Then judge that by how fast we were going(ill pm u the speed if u wanna know) and the lean of the car/curve.

On the tires...well uhh no..no nothing really left..but i tell ya..it is 100% worth it. I dunno man, just something about a guy in a 90k car telling you your car is awesome just makes you not care about burning 800 bucks haha!

sorry the car costs like 65-75k..my fault?
