No thanks. I was happy in the middle lane at 80mph. No need to win a Darwin award chasing you well over 100 with my little ones in the car.

BTW, that was possibly the loudest intake and exhaust combo I have ever heard on a B5. Thank you for slowing down next to me and then gunning it. I didn't know Greddy made **** for our cars.

Perphaps you were just in a hurry to get home before the street lights came on. Curfews suck, don't they?

Default There are special circumstances.

One is when I know and trust the other driver. I've had many high speed runs with people here to and from track events. No erratic lane use or anything unsafe.

Default umm, no. Not all silver B5s are alike. This one could never be mistaken for yours.

It had 15" OEMs and a non sport suspension.

Your car, OTOH, is sweet.
