Didn't really seem like the m3 was racing? I don't blame him on a wet road with traffic

Have to agree with others who said it really doesn't look like the M3 was even trying to race. It looked like you tried to bait him to run and he just ignored you. Kind of silly driving like this IMO.

^ +1

First off, thank you for your contribution in the armed forced. Lots of respect to those who risk(ed) their lives over in the middle east. All politics aside, I extend my sincerest gratitude.

Now
Street racing in the rain, the cracked windshield just adds to the idiocy. Don't really care how many mods you got, you might want to invest less in car and more in some cranial upgrades.

There are quite a few videos on here with members who put their foot into it... on the track. Don't even really have to look too hard.

^ +2 I gotta say that the only good thing about that video is the sound of the car.

Asides from the rain and the windscreen, it looks like you block the M3 you as you both approach a slip road entering from the right (about 25-29 seconds in)... if another car was coming on to the road, the M3 would have no option but to brake hard to avoid the merging vehicle, because you had pulled up along side him and blocked his opportunity to move into the overtaking lane.

In those conditions foolish - not good reading of the road there. Try investing in some advanced driving lessons rather than more mods. And get that windscreen fixed.

Rant over!

yeah well....you werent there...lol.
Take a good look at the facebook page link and then youll really get it.... stock M3 sedan what ever conditions you call it aint over taking dip on a highway pull ....Im happy with the life I lived today. Call me foolish if you like but when you know how to get blown up in a 12000 pound up armored humvee with the devil on your back in the form of old soviet ordnance being used against you WHILE in the rain....some how driving with a finely tuned Rare M car with other experienced drivers in this kind of rain doesnt really tickle my nerve at all.....it just seemed fitting to live a little on this particular weekend....

I hit a pot hole in NYC, when I first moved up here...No point in changing it till Im done with my clinical phase of studies then when I go back to NC ill have it fixed.....Bilstein pss10 are even stiffer than the stock shocks that were on it when it cracked in the first place so changing it now feels a like a waste.
oh and yes ....potholes can crack your windshield.....

Independence Day logic says....stfu.

"Try investing in some advanced driving lessons rather than more mods. And get that windscreen fixed." - Grooverider....

The US government invested in my Armored Humvee driving lessons, my parachuting lessons, EMT lessons....I can handle the safety of myself and others thankyou....
as for driving with a crack in the windscreen, well...ahem....yeah i know....but if there is anyone here that has lived the life of an Airborne infantryman he is not gonna get wet over a crack in the glass....cmon people. really?

The first thing you'll learn on advanced driving lessons is defensive driving and to be aware that on a public road, there are varying levels of driver skills.

You may have served in a foreign war, but I'm pretty sure those skills and experiences will serve you as well in civvy street. Not every other driver is the enemy, friend.

We all like to plant our foot and enjoy our cars, it's just that your video isn't a great example of what you're trying to demonstrate - would be more than happy to see better examples - and lots more of that sound - wish mine sounded as good!

BTW, please say you're not comparing a 12,000lb Humvee with your Z4M...
