Volvo 940 -vs- Turbo widebody M3

So, I'm minding my own business, cruising down a freeway off ramp toward a yield sign to merge into traffic, and out of the corner of my eye I see a dark carbon fiber hood and the face of a modded BMW M3 come out of nowhere and fill my rear-view mirror just inches off my bumper.

ME:

So I check my mirror to merge...there's only a couple cars occupying the far right lane, I signal to go a little wider hoping this guy will follow me. As I'm starting to go across lanes to the left, the jackass swings around me with NO signal and hits the gas...I had to swerve and correct to prevent hitting him. He revs and lets his blow-off valve go off in my ear as he goes around me.

ME:

THEN, the best part. He gets past me on the outside, so I can see the rest of his car.

ME:







So I'm seriously pissing my pants right about now. We get to a clear spot in traffic, no cars at all. He hits the gas which results in lots of blue oil smoke and the scent of a dying engine, and tries to race me. So I punch it, blow by him, and proceed to take 3 pictures of his car, while punking him the entire time.

PS, take special care to spot the driver flipping me the bird in that first picture. Also in the first pic, note the blue cloud of oil smoke engulfing the rear end of his POS.

It was SUCH an epic win!!!

Funny thing is, it's not even a M3. Hell, it's not even a BMW 318ti hatchback.

It's an early '90s Honda Civic Hatchback with a badly done 3-series front end conversion.

Lamesauce.

Well, I just assumed since you didn't make the point in your post... that you had really thought it was a M3.

I sort of got the idea of the point you were making, but just wasn't 100% sure. Plus... I could resist it.

One of these days we'll have to run one of your Volvos against my Pontiac.

^^I'm with stupid.

I say one day when I win the lottery, we will have one big drag race for everybody in the racing section to bring their cars together and race.

Dude, I just noticed you were in Wrong Beach! I'm in Anaheim Hills now.

Let me know if you wanna hit up Cali Speedway before it gets too hot. Last time I went I had my daily, she's getting tired (202,000 miles and counting...)...netted 14.1 @ 98.7 best out of 3 runs, 2.3 60's...the G8's were running mid-high 13's IIRC.

Maybe April's street legal weekend?

Re: Volvo 940 -vs- Turbo widebody M3

that car might just be the biggest waste of time and money on the planet, lol. What's with the rear mounted roof scoop? must be for the back seat passengers...

Re: Volvo 940 -vs- Turbo widebody M3

I came in here expecting a run with an HPF E46 or turbo'd E36. He got the Hoffmeier kink down pretty well, too bad its horrible rice all the way around. I'd hate to see the front end of the poor E36 he butchered to get that. Good kill otherwise.

Sorry, but I don't mingle with people from Anaslime.


Kidding aside, maybe we'll have to get together sometime soon. I've been thinking about running the G8 at the track. Just been busy.
